Fan claims Liberty altered scoreboard message for Sophie Cunningham

A New York Liberty fan reported that a scoreboard message, thanking XX-XY Athletic’s Jennifer Sey, was altered before the WNBA game against the Indiana Fever on August 22. The fan, Julie Potter, paid $100 for the original message, which included a line implying Sey would 'save the day.' Liberty officials later modified the message for 'positive submissions' without consulting Potter, who received a refund but called it censorship. This incident occurs amid ongoing debates regarding trans issues in women's sports, particularly following comments made by Fever player Sophie Cunningham earlier this summer. Liberty has not commented on the matter.
