Anti-trans provocateurs bankrolled by the right were sitting courtside with signs praising WNBA player Sophie Cunningham. Celeste Keaton reportedly confronted them.
“Apparently, however, this excludes trans people and allies who don’t want to be subjected to dehumanizing rhetoric on the court.” Exactly! That’s some twisted logic to think that inclusive means supporting the paid anti-trans bigots, not confronting them on behalf of the trans fans in attendance. You know…the ones who are actually members of the minority group!
Love that someone who physically attacked another player is touting a cause allegedly meant to protect women... tend your own fucking garden.
Also, this: 'We apologize that this happened. Everyone who attends a Storm game deserves to feel welcome, and we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every fan is treated with respect.' is spineless, status quo adoring liberal bullshit
These anti-trans people need to be confronted, but in an intelligent way, not with violence which at times is difficult to avoid. But the WMBA has supported the trans community and maybe should have just asked the anti-trans group to leave
No. No more. Not everyone deserves to be welcome anywhere they bring the signage and merchandise of a hate group. Stop making space for bigots and deceivers.
Once again the “anti-trans” lunatic fringe gets pampered and the rest of us have to deal with the hellscape they create. I will never watch another WNBA game. Watching them shooting themselves in the foot with the LGBTQ community….. priceless.
"Wilson told a far-right podcaster after the game that they “weren’t trying to be political.” Lying fucking bigot.

The league has supported the trans community? You sure about that?
Why hasn't either the Storm or the NWSL's Seattle Reign publicly opposed Ballot Measure 628
what violence occurred? It sounds like Keaton just argued with them and told them they suck.
Violence comes in many forms not only physical
No. No more. Not everyone deserves to be welcome anywhere they bring the signage and merchandise of a hate group. Stop making space for bigots and deceivers.
Thank you for posting this and all your writing. I am not a sports fan so did not know about this. Keep up the good work and standing up for decency
