During the Minnesota-Indiana matchup on Sunday, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wore a shirt that expressed support for transgender athletes. On the ESPN broadcast, play-by-play commentator Ryan Ruocco acknowledged the message and context of Reeve's shirt.
"We see Cheryl Reeve wearing a shirt today in support of trans kids. 'Trans kids belong' [is] on the shirt. This is in the aftermath of Sophie Cunningham's recent comments."
For the past several days, the WNBA community has been buzzing about Cunningham's remarks about protecting the rights of female athletes in sports where they "shouldn't have to go against biological men."
After Ruocco called attention to Reeve's shirt, which expresses a view different from Cunningham's perspective, color **** yst Rebecca Lobo came in with a suggestion.
"I would encourage anyone to go and listen to Cheryl Reeve's comment. Incredibly thoughtful, easy to find online."
