Tensions flare in Minneapolis as trans activists confront women's sports advocates supporting WNBA star Sophie Cunningham.

XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey and Kendall Kotzmacher describe facing hostile counter-protesters outside Sunday's Fever-Lynx basketball game.

Sey notes that despite the loud demonstration, over 50 peaceful supporters gathered to show solidarity with female athletes fighting for fairness in competition.

That's how sportswriter Howard Bryant described WNBA star Sophie Cunningham in a Guardian op-ed.

Evidence behind the grade

Editorial voicebody

+5 · 90% confidence

Unfortunately, Bryant never explained that to us.

The sentence states an evaluation in the narrator's voice instead of attributing it to a named source. Its weight is reduced because this article is identified as opinion.

Decision pressurebody

+5 · 82% confidence

However, we suspect he realized, early in his op-ed, that arguing boys and girls should share locker rooms is a losing argument.

The wording urges a conclusion or action rather than only describing the reported facts. Its weight is reduced because this article is identified as opinion.

Sweeping generalizationbody

+10 · 78% confidence

Unfortunately, Bryant never explained that to us.

The wording makes a broad claim that may exceed the evidence described in the sentence.
