Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 29, 2026 —
The Seattle Storm has issued an apology following an unspecified exchange between one of the team’s co-owners and two fans during a recent game. The incident took place during the team’s matchup against the Indiana Fever.
In a statement released by the team, the Seattle Storm acknowledged the interaction but did not identify the co-owner involved, nor did they provide specific details about the nature of the exchange with the fans. The team emphasized its dedication to fostering an inclusive environment where all supporters feel valued and respected.
The apology comes amidst a broader context, as the incident occurred on the same evening that a protest was held outside the arena. This protest was reportedly related to a statewide ballot initiative that seeks to prohibit transgender students from participating in girls’ athletics.
The Seattle Storm organization has not offered further comment on the matter.
