The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington was ejected for a flagrant foul 2 after hitting Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham in the face in a 90-86 Sky loss. Carrington later denied the foul was intentional and called it unfortunate, while declining to explain her subsequent social media post reading “WHITE PRIVILEGE.” In Seattle, Carrington said the post was about more than the play and received loud applause before the Sky’s next game. Fever coach Stephanie White said divisiveness around WNBA coverage “will not win.”
