The Atlanta Dream and the WNBA are in the hot seat after security staff at Sunday night's game in Atlanta had a confrontation with two women wearing XX-XY Athletics shirts.
The much-anticipated game brought the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark to Atlanta to face Angel Reese and the Dream, ending in a close 95-91 Fever overtime win.
But much of the heat appeared to happen off the court as a Georgia mom and her daughter were told by security staff to cover the shirts or be escorted out of the game with two and a half minutes left in overtime, the family told Fox News. They were told the shirts were offensive to other fans.
Sunday's game was marketed as "Wellness & Health Night," complete with shirts for fans. State Farm Arena policy also prohibits "clothing, garments or signs displaying explicit language, profanity or derogatory characterization of any person(s)."
In a message on social media, the Dream said the decision to intervene was made by WNBA security, and not the team.
