WATCH: CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil covers the suspension of the Seattle Storm co-owner for yelling at young Sophie Cunningham fans wearing XY gear. The Media Hall Monitors will seethe. MATT GUTMAN: Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is making news off the court tonight for her recent comments about transgender athletes in women's sports. Cunningham's views helped build her fan base, but now a WNBA team co-owner is in trouble for confronting some of those very fans. CBS’s Jan Crawford reports. ANNOUNCER: Up the floor. Cunningham! Paint it! CRAWFORD: At Tuesday night's WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Seattle Storm, the focus was on the sidelines. Two teens holding signs thanking Fever guard Sophie Cunningham for speaking up for girls and wearing t-shirts made by a company that advocates for same-sex sports. They were confronted by a Storm co-owner. YOUNG FAN: Yeah, and she's like, “I hope Jesus can forgive you for what sin you’ve done” and like, something like that, and then she told us we were acting effing insane. CRAWFORD: The WNBA fined and suspended the co-owner, Celeste Keaton, five games. The team said it respected the league's decision and the team's majority owner apologized. Cunningham, known for fearlessly defending teammate Caitlin Clark on the court, is the first active professional female athlete to speak out against transgender females in women's sports. In an ESPN profile earlier this month, Cunningham says girls in sports shouldn't have to go against biological men. SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM: I said what I said. I think it's kind of common sense. And I think I'll always believe in that. CRAWFORD: When asked if her words could be seen as anti-transgender, she said... CUNNINGHAM: I have never once said I hated the trans community. Like I said, I think there's space for everyone. CRAWFORD: Before the game, Storm player Stephanie Dolson made her feelings clear with a t-shirt saying, "Trans rights are human rights." Outside the arena, Cunningham supporters like advocate Julie Lane said they hope the moment is a turning point. JULIE LANE: So we’re not stopping. We really hope that other people will join in and just say what’s out- say out loud what is common sense, just like Sophie did. CRAWFORD: They plan another rally before the Fever's next game in Portland. Jan Crawford, CBS News, Washington.
