Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton has been suspended from the team's next five home games due to an altercation with two fans during a game against the Indiana Fever. The incident occurred during which Keaton made an aggressive statement towards the young fans, who were sitting courtside wearing merch and holding signs supporting Sophie Cunningham, a prominent female athlete who has spoken out against transgender athletes in sports. The league announced that Keaton will be fined an undisclosed amount and that the team respects the league's decision. There are currently no openly transgender players in the WNBA and in over half the states in the US, transgender kids are banned from competing on sports teams that align with their gender identities in both public and private schools.
