Julie Potter explained why she left Sophie Cunningham's name off her submitted scoreboard message.

Julie Potter objected via email after the New York Liberty altered her paid scoreboard message.

“I'd love to go to a Fever game. They gonna make the playoffs, you know? Yeah, I'm already planning on it. I know they've got some great games in September, so yeah, my money shall be directed to where it is welcomed. And if they have a scoreboard, and I can put it up, and Jen gets to roll, I will,”

Julie Potter expressed confusion over which standards her original message had violated.

“Of course it's good for the league. We're women supporting women playing a woman's sport. How is this not good? Every Fever game is selling out,”

Julie Potter emphasized that she does not harbor animosity toward the New York Liberty or its players.

“I said nothing derogatory. I didn't even say, ‘Save women's sports.’ I just said, ‘Shout out to the CEO of a dope company who's changing the world from my perspective.’ That's obviously not their perspective, but is this America? Can we have different perspectives?”
