In a heated WNBA game between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever on Saturday, DiJonai Carrington was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul on Sophie Cunningham. Minutes later, Carrington took to social media, posting "WHITE PRIVILEGE" in reference to the incident. The play occurred during a fast-break layup attempt by Cunningham, who is white, when Carrington, who is Black, made contact with her head and neck. While some argued the foul was intentional, others suggested it was unnecessary and unwarranted. Fever coach Stephanie White defended Carrington, stating that while the foul was hard, she did not believe it was intentionally malicious. Cunningham responded angrily, charging towards Carrington immediately after getting up from the court. The play was reviewed and upgraded to a Flagrant 2 due to windup, impact, and follow-through. Chicago Sky coach Tyler Marsh initially believed Carrington's actions were justified, but later stated he hadn't seen a replay of the play. Cunningham also addressed Carrington's social media post, stating it had nothing to do with race and that she had been previously disciplined for similar behavior. The WNBA eventually rescinded a technical foul assessed to Fever star Caitlin Clark in a separate incident. This latest controversy comes after Cunningham voiced opposition to transgender girls and women participating in girls' and women's sports, sparking protests and rallies at Fever games. Despite the ongoing controversy, both teams remain focused on their quest for victory in the competitive WNBA season.
