Bringing out the best in people

Wow, that’s a good look.

Storm apologize after co-owner berates teen girls supporting Sophie Cunningham

Yes how dare teenage girls support teenage girls who don’t want boys in their sports. Teenage girls are supposed to submit without asking a single question! And by the way so are women!

The Seattle Storm issued an apology statement Wednesday, one day after one of their co-owners verbally accosted two teenage female fans with expletives because they were holding signs supporting the views of ​Indiana’s Sophie Cunningham during a home game against the Fever.

The teenagers each had a ‌sign, one saying “Thank You Sophie for speaking up for girls!” Cunningham recently went to bat for the protection of women’s sports and keeping them female-only.

Independent journalist Brandi Kruse reported that minority owner Celeste Keaton told the girls they ​were “fucking insane.”

Isn’t that nice? Adults telling teenage girls they’re fucking insane for not wanting to lose everything to boys invading their sports? So enlightened, so progressive, so kind.

    That’s better reporting than the one you posted later; it is more clear what they are wanting – no males in female sports.

    I agree! Reuters wrote the report in this thread, and they amazed me by giving their level of visibility to this incident.
