DiJonai Carrington seems to be digging herself deeper into controversy while attempting to justify her claim of “WHITE PRIVILEGE” after a social media backlash. The Chicago Sky player was ejected from a WNBA game on Saturday following a hard foul on Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham during a layup attempt.
In the immediate aftermath, Carrington took to Threads—somewhat surprisingly still a platform in use—to voice her thoughts:
DiJonai Carrington gets ejected for absolutely clocking Sophie Cunningham in the face and immediately takes to Threads claiming white privilege…

Not stopping there, she also tagged the Indiana Fever team’s account, clearly intending to send a pointed message to Cunningham and her teammates.
