DiJonai Carrington Clarifies ‘White Privilege’ Post but Leaves Its Meaning Unclear
Carrington said she never meant her post to suggest the foul call was about race after officials upgraded the play to a Flagrant 2.
- On Saturday, Chicago Sky's DiJonai Carrington was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul against Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham, later responding to criticism regarding her 'white privilege' post.
- Referees upgraded the play to a Flagrant 2 foul after determining there was 'windup, impact and follow-through' on the hit to Cunningham's head and neck during the fast-break layup.
- Following her ejection, Carrington posted 'WHITE PRIVILEGE' on social media and tagged the Fever, drawing criticism from former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho over her reaction.
- Carrington wrote that she 'never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was white privilege,' defending her knowledge of the term's historical and social weight.
- The WNBA has not announced additional punishment for the hard foul, and the Sky visited the Seattle Storm on Monday night as the season continues.
