Before Tuesday’s Seattle Fever game, a small rally takes place in support of Sophie Cunningham following her comments about transgender athletes. According to multiple outlets, a few dozen people gather near the arena to express backing for Cunningham and for state-level initiatives that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports. CBS Sports reports that the Fever organization and Cunningham both say they had “no knowledge” of the rally ahead of time. Yahoo Sports similarly states that the team and Cunningham are unaware of the gathering. The coverage describes the rally as public support linked to Cunningham’s remarks rather than an official team event. Across the reports, there is agreement that the rally occurs shortly before the game and that its participants are advocating for changes affecting transgender participation in girls’ athletics, while Cunningham and the Fever do not indicate they arranged or endorsed the event in advance.
