The arena wasn’t tense. I didn’t hear hecklers. This doesn’t sound like a section by section thing. The arena isn’t even that big.

Caitlin Clark must keep condemning her fans projecting racism and hate | Etan Thomas
Calling out the racist element in her fanbase is no small burden, but with Caitlin Clark’s great fame comes great responsibility. If her words can limit hate, staying silent just isn’t an optionwww.theguardian.com
Example of "her not doing enough."
Oh I'm well aware of the perceived value assumption "Silence = complicit approval", both in general and specifically with her. I didn't need proof of it. I know that people have that false value assumption in general and with her.
The issue highlighted in my previous post is "Damned if you do, damned if you don't," figuratively and literally. People collectively have a lot of complaining to do, and a large majority of those people hop online to do it.
For me, regarding fandom of an athlete, it's formulaic.
Are they a net positive off the court?
If yes, even if their net positive is not the way I would do it, I let them rock. No complaint; everything doesn't have to be my way.
If no, that still doesn't mean I'm not a fan. The reason they are not a net positive in my opinion, are they currently in control of that reason?
No? I let them rock.
Yes? They are not a net positive and they are currently in control of why not? Then I take issue with them.
