I watched the video from outside Barclays Center on Saturday more than once because I wanted to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing.
A crowd showed up to support Sophie Cunningham and a pretty uncomplicated proposition: girls deserve locker rooms and sports of their own.
Another crowd showed up to oppose them.
And based on what I watched, some of the descriptions of the demonstration don't look much like the video. I'll trust my own eyes on this one. This wasn't some overwhelming counter-protest drowning out a few lonely people carrying signs. The women's-sports crowd had a substantial presence outside that arena.
