Fuck that.

Girl was liking transphobic shit on IG a few years ago when she was in phoenix did nobody see this coming?

JFC, that makes this all even WORSE.

confrontation between a Seattle Storm co-owner and two teenage fans, against the backdrop of the broader debate over transgender participation in women’s sports.

“After the game, the two girls made a video with anti-trans agitator Brandi Kruse” - 👀

No

A number of times? Show your sources.

...I'm gonna call BS on that. In pretty much all the instances we have (in the US) of men | boys SAing girls | women like that in places like locker rooms, the predators haven't even bothered to disguise themselves as women | girls-they've literally just strode right in as the men | boys they are.

Well, fuck the WNBA then.

Sophie Cunningham is MAGA Barbie.

WNBA L

100% wrong

Being a bigot is a low-effort grift. Washed up comedian? Mid-tier athlete? Children's author who had literally one idea? Try being a bigot! It may absolutely tank your credibility, push away genuine fans, and be generally morally reprehensible, but you'll get some sweet, sweet chud money.

Wow misogynistic much?

Thank you for fighting the good fight.

As someone who aspires to be a fan of the Cleveland expansion team once they exist, I'm disappointed.

The news sucks, but the title is perfect. 10/10 title, no notes

liberals are inherently incapable of opposing fascists

Well that sucks i didn't realise she's maga

Yup. Be good or be good at it. She’s definitely not good, and she’s not good enough at it.

Atlanta players went so hard against Loeffler that she sold the team. It might be time for a leaguewide action by players. Until every player is the same height, weight, ability, etc., there is never equality in sports to begin with.

Got anything that’s not bullshit?

honestly you guys confuse me, none of those seem like men’s names at all

those r women? who names their son “Laurel” besides like… maybe imperial Romans??

Oh Commissioner Cathy is so hot to expand the fan base into the rural white folks demographics. But first she has to use Caitlin’s latent racism to get to suburban moms.

She’s a benchwarmer like Riley Gaines, inflaming bigotry and selling fake victimhood is the only play she has for fame.

What exactly was the minority owner suspension? Can’t attend games?

The ‘UFC Ring Girl’ is an anti trans fash? Color me surprised 😲

She looks really joyful to me. 🤷‍♀️

Veneers

It’s like she went in and asked for movie star teeth and they over did it and made her look like Josh Brolin in The Running Man

She’s just becoming an enforcer, anyway. Basketball is slowly passing her by.

JFC

Talk about victim blaming.

The fact they sell Storm merch with the trans pride colors does not escape me. We see you @stormbasketball.bsky.social . Look at the fans any home game, think about the clubs states values, this is not a good look.

What's it mean to suspend an owner? Do they just not... own the team for a little while?

You’ve gained a new subscriber. Thank you for reporting accurately and as these dark times do desperately demand

I fucking love women’s sports. Ask me about soccer! Season tickets! International vacations solely for them! But if supporting the WNBA necessarily includes giving shit to trans people? FUCK NO. Not even going to go 5 miles to your bigot game.

The transphobic shitheads under advisement had much better seats than I did at that game, so they were few in number but big in bucks. It hasn't been an easy year to be a Storm fan, but Sophie and her friends made the experience outright gross.

the trans women who want to play sports and are being banned probably don't agree with you

It's just a tiny bit of nastiness that affected some SEC swim teams. But the media needs to eat 24/7.

Completely sincere response here -- don't discount the tremendous benefits that girls get from learning that they can be strong, assertive, healthily competitive, good teammates -- all things i had to fight for growing up in the 70s. Sports aren't the problem. Spectators and owners are.

What is with these? Goddamn people who do nothing but go after the trans community Jesus Christ this shit is getting really old. 

Fuck that

Being inclusive towards those who seek to exclude isn't a winning strategy.

Why the picture of Sophie?

WTF!? WNBA what are you doing?

@erininthemorning.com

MY DISLIKE FOR THE WNBA IS FINALLY JUSTIFIED I KNEW SOMETHING WAS OFF WITH THEM

This bench player will soon be touring with the 5th place swimmer.

I must be old. I remember when people used to mind their own fucking business.

Gotta love the conjunction of the picture and the last two words in the hed.

Dang it I liked Sophie before this. That was easy. No more support there!

You shit yourself lol

Wow you sound like a monster. Where can I report you?

Reported

Like ideally, I as a Jew in Weimar shouldn’t know that you’re going for the Roma after me. I as a socialist in Weimar shouldn’t know that your next move is going after the trade unionists, it makes it easier to defend trade unions against your attack.

It's so cool that WNBA games are being Nazi Barified

"WNBA likes money, hates minorities"

*burying. y'all know what I meant. 10/10 reporting!

"Well what do you expect from a bunch of chicks?" said the (imaginary) CEO before going on a fifteen minute cliche ridden monologue about how women can't drive.

If you can’t stand the heat, don’t be a transphobic snowflake

They should have had a sign saying pedophiles because they are the ones actually molesting little girls.

free celeste

Seattle Storm leadership needed to have their co-owners back and not apologize to bigots.

The Nazis did it in Germany… hitler used the Olympic Games to spew hate. MAGA using their playbook

Me, too, at least as far as I even could as someone who's never liked watching basketball.

I'm honestly getting the exact same message from them as a genderfluid generally transmasc guy. Even if I ever WAS into pro basketball, why would I as a trans person want to give any of MY precious money to a league that openly doesn't even want me at their games?

It’s clear Rep. right wingers & Project 2025 are encouraging this divisive crap to further their plan to get rid of women’s sports. It’s the same idea with pushing gender testing of girls in kindergarten for sports.(with the bonus of them having access to little kids genitalia)

The NY Times needs to go out of business.

Sadly, this seems to be working out exactly as intended. The news coverage has been appalling, and the assholes trying to deny the civil rights & dignity of fellow humans are being portrayed as innocent victims.

more writers like this please

love u defector

Suspended? For being ‘rude’?!? Is this some sort of joke @wnba.com?

The leopards are quite famished, you know...

You shat yourself.

what a silly opinion

Seems like a bad business model for a WNBA franchise in Seattle, but I'm no expert

Time to ban Seattle 

When the fuck will the WNBA, etc. get it through their thick skulls that, no, you CAN'T ensure EVERYONE feels welcome in the exact same shared space (at the same time)!? Ensure that the people who feel welcome are the ones who DIDN'T choose whatever about themselves makes others not like them!

Bigots should never feel welcome.

V finds this claim only partially true. The owner was suspended for screaming at fans; while the fans held signs supporting anti-trans views, sources do not state the fans themselves made transphobic… Real-time fact-checks on your feed: https://veratify.ai Errors or comments: info@veratify.ai

I don't want transphobes feeling safe going grocery shopping, let alone polluting our recreational activities with their filth.

Yep. American sports leagues.

Yep, sure sounds like it. 😒 REALLY not fond of how it seems the WNBA's let the growth of US interest in women's basketball go to its head & make it forget it only lived long enough to see this rise bc it was supported by people also support stuff like trans rights | acceptance.

THIS. This is why not only is it okay to punch bigots, it’s actually an excellent idea.

THANK YOU for the absolute correct framing here!

Traditional sex ethics??? wtf does that even mean

Lmao a small group of weirdos was correct.

Did you think you signed into your X account? Most people on this app understand biology, genetics, and recognize bigotry and hatred.

The girls *said* she had told them that after we already know that anti-trans activists lie and exaggerate. That otherwise unsubstantiated allegation alone was enough to earn a fine and a suspension?

The WNBA can go fuck itself
