WNBA fans recall ejection threat over XX-XY Athletics shirt at Fever-Dream game: 'I was flabbergasted'

WNBA fans Kasey and Annie Thomason discuss being allegedly forced to cover up their 'XX/XY' biological women's sports shirts during a game on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

Kasey Thomason and her daughter Annie recalled on Monday being threatened with an ejection from a game between the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream if they refused to cover up their XX-XY Athletics shirts in the crowd.

Kasey and Annie said on Fox News Channel’s "The Ingraham Angle" that they were approached by a security guard at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta who asked them to change the shirts in favor of a Dream T-shirt. Kasey said that the security guard wasn’t even sure why he was being told to ask them to remove the shirts.

"He didn’t know what was offensive about it," Kasey said. "He said he didn’t even understand but since someone told on us and said that they were offensive, we had to cover up, put on our Atlanta Dream shirts instead of our XX-XY."

Annie added, "I was flabbergasted. It was the first time I experienced anything like that. I just had no words except like who is offended by the T-shirt at this point?"

The WNBA released a statement on the incident earlier Monday.
