The Seattle Storm apologized Wednesday for an exchange that took place between one of its co-owners and two fans during the team's 105-95 loss to the Indiana Fever. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
The Storm did not elaborate on the nature of the incident and did not say which co-owner was involved. The team said in a statement: "We are aware one of our co-owners made comments to two fans in attendance at the July 28 game. We take this matter seriously and apologize for this incident."
During the game, fans waved signs referencing Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and showed support for Sophie Cunningham following her comments on transgender athletes. One fan held a "trans people belong in sports" sign.
