There are democrats, there are feminists, there are republicans. It’s everyone who believes in fair competitions for their daughters.“And the WNBA is just stuck five years ago, and they are beholden to an ideology, and they have an agenda that has nothing to do with basketball.”After that incident at the Indiana Fever game, though, it appears the WNBA security have now been informed that the XX-XY shirts are fine for fans to wear.A security guard was filmed speaking to fans before the recent Valkyries vs Lynx clash, and he told them: “The chromosome shirts are not offensive.”Read more:Fan suggests the WNBA are not enforcing their rule on the national anthemLynx coach Cheryl Reeve doubles down on trans stance in the WNBAFan gets destroyed on social media for saying hating Angel Reese is ‘infuriating’
