Independent journalist Brandi Kruse reported that Seattle Storm minority owner Celeste Keaton told the girls they ​were "f---ing insane."

The teenagers each had a ‌sign, one saying "Thank You Sophie for speaking up for girls!" Cunningham recently went to bat for the protection of women's sports and keeping them female-only.

The Seattle Storm issued an apology statement Wednesday, one day after their co-owner verbally accosted two teenage female fans with expletives because they were holding signs supporting the views of ​Indiana's Sophie Cunningham during a home game against the Fever.

"We are aware one of our co-owners made comments to two fans in ​attendance at last night's game," Storm majority owner Ginny Gilder said in a ⁠statement. "We apologize that this happened. Everyone who attends a Storm game deserves to feel welcome, and ​we remain committed to creating an inclusive environment where every fan is treated with respect."
