Go anti-woke, go broke. A planned anti-trans rally outside of a WNBA game in Seattle, of all places, appears to have been a major flop.
The “rally” took place outside the Climate Pledge Arena ahead of the Seattle Storm v. Indiana Fever game. Even calling it a rally is generous though — per a video posted to Instagram by local news outlet The Burner, attendance was sparse. According to ESPN, the crowd consisted of “a few dozen,” who were there to both voice support for Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and for legislation that would bar trans girls from participating in school sports in Washington state.
For me, the average women’s sports game in Seattle is close enough to a pro-trans rights rally that I would count roughly the number of attendees as the size of the counterprotest. I don’t think I’ve been to a Storm, Reign or Torrent game where I haven’t seen a dozen “Protect Trans Kids” shirts.
