The Minnesota Lynx coach, Cheryl Reeve, made a statement of support at the Indianapolis Fever game on Sunday, wearing a "Trans Kids Belong" T-shirt.
The game featured players Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, who have been at the center of a recent controversy over women's sports. Cunningham has been vocal in her defense of women's rights in sports, stating that young girls should not have to compete against biological men.
Clark's comments sparked a backlash from some in the radical left, with accusations of "hate" and "transphobia." However, Cunningham has remained steadfast in her defense of women's rights, refusing to back down from her statements.
The controversy has hit a nerve with some in the WNBA, with several angry lesbians speaking out against Cunningham. However, the support for Cunningham has also been evident, with two young teen girls attending a recent game wearing signs thanking her for standing up for female athletes.
One of the girls, who attended a Fever-Storm game with a friend, reported being approached by Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton, who launched into a profanity-laced tirade against them. Keaton was later suspended for several games following the incident.
Reeve's decision to wear the "Trans Kids Belong" T-shirt on Sunday was seen as a show of support for the trans community, as well as a nod to the ongoing controversy surrounding women's sports.
