WNBA Corrects Security Asking Fans to Cover Transgender Rights Shirts

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

The WNBA acknowledged that security personnel at the Atlanta Gateway Center Arena acted incorrectly when they asked at least three fans to cover shirts with messages about transgender women participating in women’s sports. The incident occurred during Sunday’s Fever-Dream game. The league stated Monday that fans should have been allowed to wear the shirts, which read “XX-XY Athletics.”

No reason was given for the initial request by security, but the WNBA’s response indicates a reversal of that decision. Breitbart News reported the incident and the WNBA’s admission. ESPN’s Australian outlet also reported the league’s statement that the fans should have been free to wear the shirts.
