A crowd of critics and supporters of Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham\u2019s stance on transgender participation in women\u2019s sports gathered around and inside Target Center on Sunday as the Fever faced the Lynx in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wore a light blue shirt under her jacket that said, \u201cTrans kids belong\u201d as she directed her team \u2014 the top team in the WNBA \u2014 to a 108-100 win over the Fever. There were fans in the stands wearing T-shirts that read, \u201cTrans kids belong in sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s the third straight Fever game that drew a rally after Cunningham recently voiced support for barring transgender girls and women from girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports in an ESPN article published last week.<\/p>\n

Before the contest, Cunningham and Reeve held a conversation at midcourt. Reeve didn\u2019t want to share the exact nature of their talk.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of us understand that we have platforms and we both talked about wanting to, more than anything, educate,\u201d Reeve said. \u201cThere are some things that we have in common, and maybe some things you differ on, just like any issues. I think it\u2019s how you handle things. It was nice to be in person, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cunningham was booed by the crowd on her first touch of the game and throughout.<\/p>\n

Outside the arena, dozens of fans gathered near the entrance. A person using a loud speaker repeated over and over, \u201cProtect trans women.\u201d There were signs held up that read, \u201cLove is truth\u201d and \u201cThank you Sophie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked how she and the team are navigating the outside conversations, Caitlin Clark said after the game, \u201cI think we\u2019re excellent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s for leagues and governing bodies to work with their athletes to find solutions,\u201d Clark said. \u201cOur focus is on basketball. That\u2019s what we talk about and how we can get wins and obviously we didn\u2019t do that tonight. So we need to find an area to improve in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any reaction?<\/p>\n

\u201cI just answered,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n

Cunningham said Friday in Portland that she wasn\u2019t concerned about rallies against transgender participation in women\u2019s sports becoming a distraction for the Fever.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI think everyone who knows me personally, they know that I\u2019m full of love. I\u2019m bubbly. I love the people around me,\u201d Cunningham said Friday. \u201cI love basketball. I love inspiring the next generation and doing that in a positive light. And so that doesn\u2019t even cross my mind. Doesn\u2019t cross my teammates\u2019 minds.\u201d<\/p>\n
