The Toronto Tempo, an expansion WNBA franchise, unveils a new non-binary mascot duo in an in-arena reveal at the Coca-Cola Coliseum. The event features the Indiana Fever in attendance, alongside player Sophie Cunningham, as the team presents its mascots to the league.
Both outlets describe the moment as drawing attention from the crowd. Newsweek reports that some fans boo Cunningham during the ceremony, while Yahoo Sports focuses more on the reveal itself and the presence of the Fever. Yahoo Sports also notes the broader context that the Tempo’s first season of WNBA play is scheduled for 2026, framing the mascot launch as part of the team’s preparations for that debut.
The two accounts differ mainly in emphasis—one highlights crowd reaction, while the other spotlights the league-facing unveiling and who was present. However, they agree on the core facts: the Tempo is introducing new mascots, they are non-binary, and the Indiana Fever attend the reveal at the Coliseum.
