Disgusting Seattle Storm Fan Spits in Face of Indiana Fever Fan After Loss [VIDEO]
Seattle Storm fan spits on Fever supporter.
A Seattle Storm fan was caught on video spitting in the face of an Indiana Fever supporter after the Fever’s 105-95 road victory in Seattle.
It was an emotional game at Climate Pledge Arena with Sophie Cunningham in the house. Before the game, a “Support Sophie Cunningham” rally took place. Activist groups organized it to celebrate the Indiana Fever guard’s recent public opposition to transgender athletes participating in women’s sports.
Disgusting Baseline Assault Triggers Outrage Over Fan Behavior

During the game, prominent courtside signs held by fans—including two teenage girls—read “Thank you, Sophie, for speaking up for girls” and “WE LOVE YOU, SOPH.” These supporters wore chromosome-themed “XX XY Athletics” shirts to back Cunningham’s view that transgender women should not compete in women’s sports.
Positioned directly adjacent to the pro-Cunningham fans, local Storm supporters raised signs reading “NO HATE IN THE UNITED STATES” to counter the demonstration.
That wasn’t all that happened between fans in the arena.

During the highly intense basketball contest, tensions boiled over completely between rival groups of spectators sitting near the court. An aggressive woman wearing home team gear escalated a verbal argument into physical assault.
The viral footage appears to catch a hostile Seattle Storm fan intentionally spitting water directly at an unsuspecting Fever supporter. Consequently, the shocking lack of sportsmanship immediately triggered immense disbelief and vocal condemnation from nearby arena onlookers.
While passionate rooting interest remains an integral part of professional hoops, crossing the line into physical harassment creates serious safety hazards.
Ultimately, this explosive baseline incident marks a critical tipping point regarding the enforcement of professional sports fan codes of conduct. The online pushback has continued to escalate, as basketball communities demand swift accountability for the viral incident.
According to the official fan behavior guidelines outlined on the WNBA Official Site, teams must maintain a safe, respectful environment for all ticket holders.
We can only hope this Seattle Storm fan is caught and dealt with.
The Indiana Fever defeated the Seattle Storm 105-95 on Tuesday night.
