WNBA player claims 'white privilege' saw her ejected after foul
Chicago's DiJonai Carrington was ejected for a foul on Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham, but stormed off only to post "white privilege" on social media minutes later.
WNBA player DiJonai Carrington has been ejected from a game against the Indiana Fever after being called for a Flagrant 2 foul on Sophie Cunningham. Carrington, a player for the Chicago Sky, posted the words "WHITE PRIVILEGE" on social media minutes after being ejected, tagging the Fever. Cunningham, who is white, claimed the foul was intentional and that Carrington had a history of using such tactics.
Cunningham's coach defended the ejection, stating it was the right call. The play was reviewed and upgraded to a Flagrant 2 after officials observed wind-up, impact, and follow-through. The WNBA rescinded a technical foul assessed to Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark a few hours after the game.
