Supporters Face Backlash at Game

Well we were just sitting there with our signs

that said like we love Sophie like thank you Sophie

for speaking up and so we were holding on just watching the game

again like we were being super great we hadn't said anything

to anyone else we're being super respectful we're just holding our signs

and cheering for both teams and this lady older lady comes up to us

and she comes up to us and at first I think she's gonna be nice

and then she asked like what are you guys doing

yeah and then it was like Jesus loves everyone that's what she told us

and I was like oh I know like I'm really just like I know I know yeah

and she's like I hope Jesus can forgive you for what sin you've done

and like something like that and then she told us that we were effing insane

and she's like and she went like yeah yeah and stop pulling this yeah

and for you guys I hope God can save you

yeah she said for you to come here and pull this shit yeah

she said the word yeah did she say effing insane or no she's yeah she said the word

nobody around you spoke up for you no no

I will say Annalie when I came over you were in tears yeah

I've never been yelled out like that I mean I've had people hate on me on the internet

but like it doesn't really affect me because it's just people online

but that just took me by surprise because I thought she was gonna be nice

and then she starts like screaming at us and cussing at us so yeah

and so you said she walked away and we thought that was kind of it

but she mentioned something to you about like working for the team

um there was another lady that like like told us like we were able

to have our opinions but we needed to not be political about it

and I tried to explain to her I wasn't trying to be political

I was just trying to support Sophie and support the other team

and you were just sitting there watching yeah we had to interact with anyone

except for like saying excuse me yeah like we were really nice and stuff

and then this lady told us like But you know who that is, and you're like, no, no.

So what was your reaction when I texted you that that is the owner of the team?

It's just sad. We were like, what? Yeah, we were shocked.

It's disappointing, though, too, because she's also a woman, and she just kind of cussed out two 16-year-olds

that were just trying to have fun. We weren't trying to be political.

You're just trying to support Sophie, which I guess maybe that's a lie.

And so overall, because I know that that wasn't the only person who was giving you a hard time, kind of.

I mean, did you feel like they've got their no-hate signs up? And did you feel welcome?

The whole time, we were kind of on edge.

I was like, should we pull our sign out?

I don't know. And the lady was sitting right across from us, and the two people on the side of us were turning their back and trying to sit as far away from us.

Yeah, they did not. Because one of them, when you sat down, did you notice that they had a no-hate in these United States?

I didn't notice it until after she had said something like, Sophie's not actually speaking up for girls, which we all should, because she is.

But anyways. I mean, just in general, like you're at this sporting event

that really is about the peak of female athletics.

And for them, the owner, to treat you in that way for wearing this T-shirt.

I mean, what do you take away from that?

That maybe we're not being very hateful and maybe they should work on being more kind to people, even though our opinions differ.

Because we were being respectful and kind to people.

And I don't care if you think something else is your opinion.

But obviously she was not happy.

All right, girl.
