WNBA mainstay Penny Toler fired by L.A. Sparks after using racial slur

Penny Toler, an historical WNBA figure and longtime Los Angeles Sparks general manager, was fired on Friday after she admitted to using a racial slur during a postgame speech to her team.

Toler, 53, said she used the slur while attempting to motivate the Sparks following their loss to the Connecticut Sun in Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals. The Sparks went on to lose Game 3 and were eliminated from the playoffs.

“Penny Toler was relieved of her duties and will no longer be with the organization, effective immediately. A national search will begin immediately to identify the next general manager of the Sparks,” the team said in a statement.
