Sophie Cunningham said she is not involved with the anti-trans caravan that is now going city to city with the Fever
Sophie Cunningham spoke today and tripled down on her comments about transgender women playing sports that align with their gender identity
Very sparsely populated “With Love Is Truth” rally outside the Moda Center today ahead of the Portland Fire game against the Indiana Fever
Portland Fire coach Alex Sarama on the transgender community and how they have been affected by recent comments made in the WNBA space
Portland Fire coach Alex Sarama pregame on the recent increase in right wing attention on the WNBA and the anti-trans rally about to take place outside the Moda Center
It is interesting that this was part of the pregame email today. But it’s also just part of the Moda Center policy all the time. These rules are not special for today’s game. www.modaportland.com/rules/
Apparently there’s also a Sophie Cunningham fan rally outside the Target Center on Sunday. Don’t know who is organizing these but it’s obvious they are just feeding the same poster into an AI bot. The image of her is clearly the same… but also different
Here was the final play from the Fire’s loss to Dallas tonight. 1v1 with a veteran, Azzi Fudd just locked it down.
A temporary shot clock has been set up everything’s great at the Moda Center
The home side shot clock is off. The game has been delayed… hopefully for just a few minutes.
After quadruple OT Portland Fire, spending the night with the @cherrybombsfc.bsky.social
All the allergens flying through the air. I’m always amazed Eugene is able to host any spring activities 🤧
Sports talking heads have done irreparable damage to sports journalism as an industry
3 minutes into the game, Sarah Ashlee Barker checks in to roars from the Moda Center
Shoutout to USPS for folding my son’s official birth certificate so there’s a big fat crease vertically down the middle. Really appreciate that
Meghan, please tell me more on how you think my position as a sports reporter & editor at The Oregonian overlaps with video surveillance and security cameras. Please spare no detail
BREAKING: Kai Masato Streng joined us late last night. Your boy is going on leave for a minute ✌️
The Moda Center cleared out after the Portland Fire’s second round pick. I guess fwiw it’s a Monday night and it’s now 6pm so maybe they needed to leave. But selecting 2 international players that most people here have never heard of was a tough pill to swallow.
