WNBA team reveals new ‘non-binary’ turtle mascot to taunt Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham

Post by Voltron »

The Toronto Tempo are standing up to Sophie

The Toronto Tempo debuted a new “non-binary” mascot ahead of their WNBA matchup with the Indiana Fever in an apparent swipe at controversial star Sophie Cunningham.

The Tempo revealed Dez, a butch, non-binary Borealis Blue Snapping Turtle who uses she/they pronouns and “has a fondness for soft shell tacos,” the team said in an Tuesday announcement unveiling the new mascot.

Dez also has a partner in crime, anthropomorphic arctic hare named Dot who uses standard she/her pronouns.

Dez is a Taurus, the team made sure to include in its announcement.

Sophie should wear an "xx/xy" shirt during warm ups of their games
