Summary
Dallas hosted the 8th "Sophie Night" rally on Wednesday, where Kim Slusser joined Texas Values outside American Airlines Center before the Wings-Fever game to back Sophie Cunningham and the "Save Women's Sports" campaign.
Kim Slusser tied the protest to daughter Brooke Slusser's 2024 experience at San Jose State, saying the family was thrust into a media storm after Brooke joined Riley Gaines' lawsuit against the NCAA.
Sophie Cunningham's support has become a wider flashpoint for the league, with Kim Slusser saying she could support the Wings and WNBA if they "focus on the women" rather than ideology.
Since the first Seattle rally in July, the demonstrations have spread into a season-long controversy, drawing league statements, scrutiny of coaches and a co-owner suspension while keeping the transgender-athlete debate centered on the WNBA.
