The two wore matching XX-XY shirts as women\u2019s sports advocates rallied outside the arena before the game.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether Cunningham\u2019s supporters had received fair treatment from the WNBA, Paxton stopped short of condemning the league.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, I think they\u2019re working on it,&#8221; Paxton told Fox News Digital. &#8220;I have concerns &#8230; but I\u2019m hopeful that things are getting better in that regard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paxton answered a question on whether he would become involved if supporters face unfair treatment, saying he was &#8220;looking&#8221; into the issue. He did not indicate any plans for any formal action.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, we\u2019re looking at it,&#8221; Paxton said. &#8220;We wanna make sure that they are treated fairly&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paxton\u2019s measured response came after Cunningham supporters raised concerns about their treatment at WNBA games in multiple cities. The league recently acknowledged that security personnel should not have instructed a mother and daughter to cover their XX-XY shirts at an <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/wnba\/atlanta-dream\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlanta Dream<\/a> game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/wnba-admits-security-atlanta-wrong-make-fans-cover-shirts-dream-fever-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>WNBA ADMITS SECURITY IN ATLANTA WAS WRONG TO MAKE FANS COVER SHIRTS AT DREAM-FEVER GAME<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This should not have happened,&#8221; the WNBA said in response to that incident.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton showed little willingness to compromise on the underlying issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/sports\/supreme-court-makes-ruling-trans-athletes-womens-sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>SUPREME COURT MAKES RULING ON TRANS ATHLETES IN WOMEN&#8217;S SPORTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Texas, we know what we\u2019ve passed,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have laws here that protect against men in women\u2019s sports and boys in girls\u2019 sports, and it\u2019s pretty important to, I think, the people of Texas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Texas law requires athletes at public schools and public colleges to compete based on biological sex. The state\u2019s laws do not directly control WNBA eligibility. Paxton has still used his office to pursue the issue, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasattorneygeneral.gov\/news\/releases\/attorney-general-ken-paxton-sues-ncaa-protect-womens-sports-and-prevent-biological-men-deceptively?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">lawsuit against the NCAA<\/a> over its previous transgender athlete policy.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton praised Cunningham for publicly opposing the inclusion of biological males in women\u2019s sports. Her comments inspired supporters to hold rallies outside WNBA arenas and attend games wearing shirts promoting sex-based competition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, I admire her,&#8221; Paxton said. &#8220;She\u2019s got tremendous courage. It\u2019s what we need in our country, more courage, standing up for what is right, and actually standing up for young women that want the opportunity to compete in sports.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously, we have these policies where men compete against women, which makes it very difficult for these women to compete in sports.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paxton encouraged Texans to support Cunningham instead of attacking her for expressing her position.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead of criticizing her, how about we admire something of great courage, which is what she has accomplished as a young woman,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Standing up is very difficult. Very few people are willing to do it, and I have a lot of admiration. I hope a lot of Texans have a lot of admiration for what she has accomplished at such a young age.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paxton also addressed former NBA players <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/wnba-commissioner-cathy-engelbert-sends-trans-inclusion-memo-enes-freedom-royce-white-announcements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White<\/a> announcing plans to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft. Both men have described their announcements as attempts to challenge the league to clarify its transgender eligibility policy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/wnba-limited-options-two-men-declared-draft-options-arent-great\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>THE WNBA HAS LIMITED OPTIONS AFTER TWO MEN DECLARED FOR THE DRAFT, AND THOSE OPTIONS AREN&#8217;T GREAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, it highlights the crazy insanity of this whole transgender movement,&#8221; Paxton said. &#8220;When these guys can declare, and it\u2019s under the rules, they\u2019re perfectly within their rights to do it. So I think they\u2019re just highlighting the ludicrousness of what the WNBA is promoting here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what Texas might do if either former NBA player reached a WNBA roster and played in Dallas, Paxton declined to address the hypothetical.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ll just have to see,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We don\u2019t know how the WNBA is gonna handle this. But we certainly, we in Texas, we are promoting no boys in girls\u2019 sports because it\u2019s completely unfair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brooke Slusser\u2019s mother, Kim, also attended the game. Slusser, a former San Jose State volleyball player, became a national advocate for women\u2019s sports after saying she was required to share living and sleeping spaces with a transgender teammate without initially knowing the player\u2019s sex.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that they are the epitome of what real Texans are about,&#8221; Paxton said of the Slusser family. &#8220;Fighting against, you know, a young woman that\u2019s supposedly have to live with a man, and it\u2019s ridiculous and ludicrous. And the fact that she had to go through that is awful and appalling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But look, I admire her for her stand, that they\u2019re standing up and fighting back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Paxton also made clear that the night was about more than politics. He said he looked forward to spending time with his daughter and watching the game, which Dallas won 91-85.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton\u2019s appearance came as he campaigns for a promotion from the Texas attorney general\u2019s office to the U.S. Senate. Paxton defeated four-term incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the May Republican runoff, winning about 64% of the vote after receiving President Donald Trump\u2019s endorsement. He will face Democrat state Rep. James Talarico in November after choosing not to seek another term as attorney general.<\/p>\n<p>The debate over women\u2019s sports has become a prominent part of Paxton\u2019s record as attorney general. Texas adopted laws requiring athletes in public K-12 schools and public colleges to compete based on their biological sex. Paxton has used his office to defend and enforce those laws while targeting athletic organizations with policies that he believes undermine sex-based competition.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton sued the NCAA in December 2024, accusing the organization of violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by marketing events as women\u2019s competitions while allowing biological males to participate. After the NCAA changed its policy in February 2025 to restrict women\u2019s competition to athletes assigned female at birth, Paxton argued the organization still needed a system for verifying athletes\u2019 sex.<\/p>\n<p>A state judge later denied his request for a temporary injunction requiring sex screening, but the ruling did not resolve the underlying lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton\u2019s office also secured an agreement with the Dallas Independent School District requiring compliance with the state\u2019s girls\u2019 sports law. He later pursued investigations involving U.S. Masters Swimming and the Texas branch of the United States Tennis Association.<\/p>\n<p>Those actions have helped Paxton present himself nationally as one of the Republican Party\u2019s most aggressive legal advocates for sex-based athletic categories as he seeks a seat in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>That record has placed Paxton alongside the growing network of athletes, parents and advocacy groups that have rallied around Cunningham. Some of those supporters have reported hostile treatment after bringing their message inside WNBA arenas, prompting the league to discipline one team executive and acknowledge that its own security personnel acted improperly in another incident.<\/p>\n<p>The first major confrontation occurred during the <a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/sophie-cunningham-fans-allege-storm-players-exec-heckled-girls-game-support-womens-sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fever\u2019s July 28 game in Seattle<\/a>. Two teenage girls sitting courtside held signs thanking Cunningham for &#8220;speaking up for girls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.com\/category\/sports\/wnba\/seattle-storm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seattle Storm<\/a> minority co-owner Celeste Keaton allegedly approached them, used profanity and called them &#8220;f\u2014ing insane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Storm apologized, and the WNBA later suspended Keaton from five home games and issued an undisclosed fine.<\/p>\n<p>Another controversy followed during the Fever\u2019s Aug. 16 game against the Atlanta Dream. WNBA security personnel told at least three fans to cover shirts containing messages about transgender participation in women\u2019s sports. Two wore XX-XY shirts supporting sex-based athletic categories, while another wore a shirt supporting transgender participation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/link.podtrac.com\/fearless_article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>STAY &#8220;FEARLESS&#8221; ON THE GO! TAKE TOMI LAHREN WITH YOU. DOWNLOAD THE TLIF PODCAST NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A mother and her 17-year-old daughter said security brought them Dream shirts and instructed them to cover their XX-XY clothing or leave the arena.<\/p>\n<p>The WNBA subsequently admitted that security personnel were wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This should not have happened,&#8221; the league said, adding that the fans should have been free to wear the shirts. The Dream said its employees had no involvement in the decision and that the actions by league security &#8220;fell short&#8221; of the team\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/outkick-sports\/texas-ag-ken-paxton-sends-message-wnba-amid-concerns-treatment-sophie-cunningham-supporters\">Source &#8211;
