Police are investigating a threatening, homophobic e-mail sent to WNBA power forward Breanna Stewart's wife as the New York Liberty compete in the finals. “Being in the Finals and everything like that it makes sense to file something formal,” Stewart said. The threat came after the Liberty lost in Game 1 of the WNBA finals against the Minnesota Lynx. Stewart told ESPN the threatening email came after the Game 1 loss. She said the league will meet with the players association, players and teams to address the matter using technology and prioritizing mental health and reinforcing security.
