New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart addressed the WNBA's broad platform as competing rallies outside arenas continue following Sophie Cunningham's controversial statements on transgender athletes.
Ahead of Saturday's game against the Indiana Fever, Stewart emphasized that while public scrutiny is surging, the league must preserve its inclusive environment.
When Fever guard Cunningham revealed her stance on trans athletes participating in women's sports during an ESPN interview, she set off a massive chain reaction across the WNBA.
Demonstrations quickly popped up outside arenas in Seattle, Chicago, and Dallas, and by the time the Fever traveled to Brooklyn to face the New York Liberty, competing rallies were planned right outside Barclays Center.
Historically, Liberty's Stewart has been one of the WNBA's most vocal champions for social justice and a strong ally to the transgender community.
