A mother and daughter from Georgia attending the Indiana Fever's victory over the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, Aug. 17, in Atlanta say they were "made to cover up" their T-shirts by league security staff at the arena.
Video captured inside State Farm Arena and posted on social media shows Kasey Thomason and her daughter Annie covering up their XX-XY shirts with shirts provided by the Dream.
XX-XY Athletics, which bills itself as a brand "here to protect women's sports and ***** es," was founded by former gymnast and former Levi Strauss chief marketing officer Jennifer Sey. XX-XY has also organized rallies around WNBA games this season in "Support of Sophie Cunningham" after the Fever star made comments about transgender athletes participating in women's sports.
In a statement provided to USA TODAY Sports, the WNBA said the fans shouldn't have been made to cover their clothing.
"The WNBA is aware of interactions at last night's game in Atlanta in which fans were asked by league security to cover their shirts," a league spokesperson said. "This should not have happened."
