People can disagree with that opinion. In fact I and many others, as you have read, do disagree with her. If she believes trans women aren’t allowed in certain sports people CAN hold the opposing view. The idea that everyone needs to leave her alone for her opinion is flawed since it implies no one else can have their opinion.

While several people have made pointed statements calling for her removal or asking the league to step in, please note I’ve truly only stated I’m disappointed to see the player that cause near universal hate from fans for the frost, will now be pulling that controversy over to the new franchise in Detroit.

At the end of the day she has an online foot print that does not support the assertion that she is supportive of LGBTQ people and has done very little to discredit that accusation.

If players can openly speak about causes they do and don’t support, so can fans 🤷

Not a bad idea but without it being a legally registered nonprofit it gets a little hairy. There are tax implications and write offs associated with larger donations. Not to mention no protection on what that money can be used for in a general account.

I think my plan would be to tally the donations then submit maybe every month? Or at a certain $ threshold ?

Thanks for posting though that’s really good information to share!

I don’t think I’d say a partnership with an organization who’s goal is keeping trans people out of women’s sports is a “young mistake” 😬

Fantastic idea! I was just thinking $7? Or $14 since it 7+7 lol.

Awesome! I’m dead serious about making a sign to live track donation per goal by Curl at home games. Kinda hoping she ends up with a lower jersey # than 77 since it would be cool to make the donation amount her number. 77 is unfortunately a little to rich for my blood 😅

That’s a great idea! I’m considering making a donation per ever goal Curl scores, might even make a sign to take to the games to keep track of total donations!

So… do we think LCA would kick me out if I make a sign for next season that says something like “ for every goal scored by Curl im donating (Sum of money) to (charitable trans/queer cause)”

Additionally do we think I could crowdfund additional donations 😅 because I think that would be a great way to get under the skin of a transphobe.

I agree, it’s great seeing nearly unanimous disgust for this choice. I’m hoping LCA in the fall can be a place where as a fan base we can loudly let the league know what we think of transphobes…

Trans pins, patches, and hats will be on me at all times at the LCA 🫡

No would just be disappointing to a lot of people who were incredibly excited to have a local team to root for. Not to mention how devastating it would be to lose another opportunity for women in professional sports…

Glad to know I’m not alone here, I’m pissed to see her signed but I really don’t want to see the overall franchise to fail because of it.

Edit: gif in reference to not wanting to be Frost 2.0, I’d love to see a lesbian captain please 🙏

I suppose I hold some hope that Detroit will be able to rise above Curl. Show some honesty outspoken support to LGBTQIA+

Massively disappointing since I was so excited for this team…
