Summary
Outside Minneapolis' Target Center, trans activists shouted through megaphones, hurled slurs and confronted supporters gathered before the Indiana Fever-Minnesota Lynx game.
The rally was the third organized for Sophie Cunningham after the Fever guard said young female athletes should not have to compete against biological males.
Video showed one counterprotester waving a fan bearing a slur, while another became physical with a supporter, prompting security to step in.
The Minnesota clash followed similar protests in Seattle and Portland; the WNBA previously fined the Storm and barred minority owner Celeste Keaton from the next 5 home games over a separate confrontation.
Cunningham has said she will not back down, underscoring how her comments on women's sports have become a widening flash point around Fever road games.
