WNBA star Sophie Cunningham lashed out at Celeste Keaton, the co-owner of the Seattle Storm, who left two girls in tears.
The two girls showed love for Cunningham and thanked her for speaking up for girls while wearing XX-XY gear from an athletic company that supports the movement to keep males out of female sports and spaces.
Another fan told security to “throw the trash out,” in reference to the two teenage girls.
Last week, Cunningham made it clear that she wants only females in female sports and spaces. She didn’t back down either.
I truly believe there is a safe space and love for EVERYBODY. Biological girls, biological boys, trans women, and trans men. Everyone is welcome at my table! You can disagree and still be kind.Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe. You’ll be hearing from me soon yay for gifts.Truly embarrassing of the co-owner. Unfortunately shows the type of leader she is.
The Storm suspended Keaton.
“We are aware one of our co-owners made comments to two fans in attendance at last night’s game. 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,” said Storm majority owner Ginny Gilder.
