Dozens of people gather outside the WNBA arena in Seattle ahead of the Indiana Fever’s 105-95 win over the Seattle Storm, as demonstrations center on Sophie Cunningham’s transgender sports stance. Multiple outlets report that “save women’s sports” activists hold signs outside the venue and rally to support Cunningham’s position. Other demonstrators also show up, including a counterprotest, with Fox News describing the rally as drawing opposing groups at the same location. Footage referenced by Fox News shows crowd members taking part in the outside demonstrations, while Yahoo Sports and The Independent describe the presence of dozens of demonstrators before the game. The reporting ties the protests specifically to public discussion of transgender participation in women’s sports and Cunningham’s comments and support for related policies. The game itself ends with the Fever defeating the Storm 105-95, with the demonstrations occurring before tipoff and reflecting wider debate around eligibility rules and inclusion in women’s leagues.
