Black WNBA Player Clotheslines Sophie Cunningham – Gets Kicked Out – Claims “White Privilege”
Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham had a breakaway layup in today’s game and put it in, but was clotheslined by a Chicago player in the process. Cunningham nearly had her head taken off on the play. The play looked very dangerous. Cunningham was’s lucky she didn’t have severe injuries after the play.
Cunningham got up and went after Dijonai Carrington, from Chicago, but was held back by a teammate.
After she was removed from the game for the foul, Carrington tweeted “White Privilege” apparently from the locker room.
Black WNBA player clotheslines Sophie Cunningham on a lay up attempt. Gets ejected. Tweets “White privilege” from locker room to argue she was ejected because of racism. Identity politics destroys everything, even sports.

Here is the text from Carrington.
Seems like Dijonai Carrington posted this on threads after being ejected for what was a very dangerous play. @CathyEngelbert do you have any control over this League? Imo you’re such an embarrassment! Suspend her please ! That was such a dangerous play! pic.twitter.com/AGHiXYx2Xm

Carrington nearly took Clark’s eye out in Clark’s rookie season with her long fingernail.
DiJonai Carrington is the ultimate privileged princess. She poked Caitlin Clark in the eye during a playoff game and no flagrant was called. She has been dirty for years. Now she is paying victim when she is finally called for a flagrant 2 against Sophie Cunningham. https://t.co/3WL2Nlugzc pic.twitter.com/bRQ6sj5m49
