A Georgia mother and daughter say they were told to cover up XX-XY Athletics shirts during an Indiana Fever vs. Atlanta Dream game at Atlanta’s Gateway Center Arena. According to their accounts, arena security intervenes during overtime and threatened them with ejection if they did not comply.
The outlets describe the shirts as tied to an ongoing public debate about sex and gender. Fox News and the New York Post both frame the incident as occurring during an Atlanta Dream home game and center on the request to cover the shirts after staff engaged with spectators. The reports differ in how they characterize the shirts’ perceived offensiveness and what the broader dispute is about, but both rely on the mother and daughter’s statements and describe the same basic sequence: security asks the pair to cover the shirts or leave the venue.
