Shirts, Security, and WNBA Wellness | Wilmington News

At a WNBA game billed as “Wellness & Health Night,” a mother and her 17-year-old daughter were threatened with ejection for wearing shirts supporting biological sex-based women’s sports — one reading “XX-XY,” the other “XX For the Girls.” Security cited the shirts as “offensive” without citing specific rules, forcing them to change mid-overtime. The daughter later joked that the same fan who’d earlier been featured on the Jumbotron — possibly the one who complained — had mocked their new shirts. The incident highlights a troubling contradiction: an event meant to celebrate women’s health and empowerment punished two women advocating for women’s sports spaces, raising serious questions about inclusivity, enforcement, and what “wellness” truly means in this context.
