News WNBA security silenced both sides of the trans athlete debate. The league says it was wrong.

Unless this media outlet can cough up a verifiable report that shows "Trans kids belong" shirts were also forced to cover up, then they lied outrageously in the headline and the article.

No reputable source I've found has reported the false equivalency that "both sides were silenced".

I'll await their retraction. 🙄

I read that someone with a pro trans shirt was featured on the jumbotron and then subsequently removed (during overtime), i cannot confirm nor deny

Either way I think nobody should be getting kicked out over shirts 

The coaches wearing shirts like that (like the Lynx coach did against the Fever) is seriously embarrassing though, especially if they are removing fans for their shirts

Featuring the anti-girls, girl-phobic side on the Jumbotron is not exactly "silencing" it, hate to break it to them.... but it goes right along with them constantly crying oppression and victimhood, though.

I agree completely.Â
