Stewart and Xargay Face Threats Amid WNBA Finals
Breanna Stewart, a star player for the WNBA's New York Liberty, and her wife, Marta Xargay Casademont, received a threatening and homophobic email following the team's loss to the Minnesota Lynx in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals. The email, sent to Stewart's personal account, included death threats against Xargay Casademont and was linked to an address known for other hateful messages. The incident has been reported to the police and the WNBA, highlighting the broader issue of increasing online harassment towards WNBA players. Stewart emphasized that fan engagement is appreciated, but threats and harassment are unacceptable, calling for more proactive measures from the league. Both the league and WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert have condemned these acts, expressing a commitment to inclusivity and player safety. The Liberty are currently tied in the Finals series with the Lynx, underscoring the intense public scrutiny during high-stakes games.
