Seattle Storm co-owner suspended after allegedly cursing at fans of Sophie Cunningham

Date unknown Background
Sophie Cunningham took a public stance regarding the protection of women's sports.
During a game, Seattle Storm co-owner Keaton allegedly called two teenage Sophie Cunningham fans 'f---ing insane' for wearing XX-XY Athletics gear. The girls had worn the gear to celebrate Cunningham's support for saving women's sports, according to reports.
Sophie Cunningham addressed the incident in an X repost of Fox News Digital's report, calling it 'truly embarrassing' and stating it 'unfortunately shows the type of leader she is.' This public criticism was seen as aligning with her known stance on protecting women's sports.
A subsequent rally outside Climate Pledge Arena celebrated Cunningham's recent public stance, though the Indiana Fever organization distanced itself, saying neither the organization nor Cunningham had any knowledge of the demonstration.
