How are they gonna deal with this new controversy now?
> While Curl is respected for her on ice play, there are concerns related to her off-ice support for transphobic and anti-LGBTQ+ messaging online. A large portion of the PWHL’s fan base and athletes are members of the LGBTQ+ community, and Curl’s support for bigoted messaging including social media posts referring to initiatives supporting the transgender community as “perverted”, and attacking inclusive language related to transgender individuals, meaning her actions could become a significant issue for the PWHL and whatever team selects Curl. In other circumstances, Curl liked online posts spreading conspiracy theories related to COVID-19, and posts questioning police brutality against Black people. It’s a difficult pathway for PWHL Minnesota to follow after the controversy the team has experienced this past week following the dismissal of general manager Natalie Darwitz.
