DiJonai Carrington Ejected, Claims Bias
Carrington was ejected for fouling Cunningham, then posted “white privilege” online.
The reporting
Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington was ejected in the first quarter of Saturday’s 90-86 loss to the Indiana Fever after officials upgraded her foul on Sophie Cunningham to a Flagrant 2. Cunningham was attempting a fast-break layup when Carrington came from behind and struck her in the head and neck area. Minutes later, Carrington posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on Threads and tagged the Fever; the post was later deleted. Cunningham said the ejection “has nothing to do with race,” citing her own ejection last season for a similar foul.
Analysis & opinion
Carrington CulpabilityMostly Right
DiJonai Carrington committed a dangerous, ejection-worthy foul against Sophie Cunningham. Her complaint that the ejection reflected “white privilege” or racial bias was wrong and inappropriate.
Media BiasMostly Right
WNBA media and Sports Illustrated excused or justified Carrington’s dangerous hit on Cunningham. That defense showed glaring bias and even validated anti-white hostility by treating the foul as deserved karma.
