Hostile Valkyries fans verbally attacked women’s sports activists at WNBA Finals Game 1 in San Francisco

Women wearing XX-XY shirts, including former gymnast and activist Jennifer Sey, said they were verbally abused by some fans at the WNBA Finals opener in San Francisco. The incident adds to ongoing disputes over how supporters of the “Save Women’s Sports” campaign are treated at WNBA games.

Sey said the atmosphere with nearby spectators was initially friendly but became contentious, and that security asked her group to leave their seats after a complaint. She described fans shouting insults and making obscene gestures as they walked up the stairs; the supplied article ends mid-incident and does not provide the league or arena’s account. It also refers to earlier disputes at games in Atlanta and Seattle involving people wearing the same shirts.
