A mother and her daughter paid $1,000 apiece for tickets to Monday’s Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
They came specifically to watch Sophie Cunningham, the only player in the woke WNBA with the courage to speak biological truth out loud and stand against men invading women’s sports.
They showed up wearing XX/XY shirts in open support of that stance. The back of the daughter’s shirt delivered a simple, unambiguous message: “For the girls.”
They say arena staff confronted them over their clothing and gave them two choices: Cover their shirts or leave, according to Adam Francisco. They were handed oversized shirts to throw on over their own clothes like they were the problem.
Outkick reporter Jon Root said, “During OT, a security guard told them they had to put provided Atlanta Dream shirts over their shirts or they would be escorted out…”

Get this: earlier in the same game, a woman wearing a “Protect Trans Rights” shirt was put on the Jumbotron for the entire arena to see. Only after that free stadium advertising did staff finally tell her to cover up.

“This mother and daughter paid $1,000 per ticket to attend today’s Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game at State Farm Arena, specifically to see Sophie Cunningham — a woman they respect and admire for taking a clear stance against biological men in women’s sports. They wore XX/XY shirts in support of that same message. The back of the daughter’s shirt simply read “For the girls.”
Arena staff gave them two options: cover the shirts or leave. They were handed shirts to put on over their own.
Earlier in the game, a woman wearing a “Protect Trans Rights” shirt was prominently featured on the Jumbotron. Only after receiving that stadium spotlight was she also told to cover her shirt.
A women’s league run by women decided a shirt saying “For the girls” was too offensive and controversial to wear. Meanwhile, State Farm Arena will put a pro-trans message on the big screen — but won’t allow a shirt that states a basic biological truth.
The WNBA and stadiums like State Farm Arena continue to be a national embarrassment.”
