The Story in Brief
Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington has clarified her social media post that read "WHITE PRIVILEGE" after her ejection from Saturday's game against the Indiana Fever. Carrington insisted she never claimed the flagrant-2 foul on Sophie Cunningham was influenced by racial bias. "I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon," she wrote.
Former ESPN anchor Linda Cohn mocked Carrington's clarification, replying that at least she has support from Fever coach Stephanie White. White defended Carrington's hard foul but called the call correct. Hindustan Times reports the incident occurred when Carrington contacted Cunningham around the head during a fast break, leading to the ejection.
The Indian Opinion
Some US media are spinning Carrington's post as a premeditated accusation against referees. Whether the flagrant foul was an accident or excessive is for the WNBA to decide. The real test is simple: does the league find evidence of racial bias in officiating? Numbers, not posts, will settle that.
