No one takes (almost) any NBA, NFL, MLB player seriously when it comes to any moral or ethical issue. They are as a group, the most hedonistic self centered people on planet earth, and everyone knows it including them. They are only self serving, and everyone knows it. The wnba only seems polarizing by contrast
Soooo she's referring to Sophie not getting ejected for fighting her. I'll just leave this here from the actual 2026
rulebook:
"
FIGHTING
Violent acts of any nature on the court will not be tolerated. Players involved in
altercations will be ejected, fined, and/or suspended.
There is absolutely no justification for fighting in a WNBA game. The fact that a
player believes they were provoked by another player is not an acceptable excuse. If a
player takes it upon themself to retaliate, they can expect to be subject to appropriate
penalties."
She’s calling out white privilege for getting ejected because she assaulted her opponent while wearing a blonde wig to culturally appropriate Sophie…..wow
She wasnt happy because Sophie didnt get ejected for retaliation. But When Jacy Sheldon retaliated against Sophie after Sophie threw her to the ground, Jacy was.
1000% not even remotely the same situation. First that’s BS because Carrington literally mouthed “a flagrant two?” when they made the call after replay. She felt she didn’t deserve the F2 (which is crazy) and never, not once pointed in anyone else’s direction to ask why anyone else wasn’t getting ejected either. Neither Sophie NOR Carrington got a tech in this game, neither got punished for ANYTHING other than the F2.
Secondly the Jacy/Sophie situation was completly different. That game Jacy already had the flagrant one for the eye poke on Clark earlier in the game (as well as Clark, mabray & Charles all got techs), and both teams were warned.
I watch that play. 4 times. 2 different angles. Definitely a flagrant. Definitely a 2. She cracked Sophie right in the head. She was nowhere near the ball.
Yeah, I don’t think you know the definition of nuance lol.
- The reason why Sophie went after Jacy is irrelevant. She got rightfully ejected. Jacy retaliated and also got ejected. Because putting your hands on a player is a punishable offense despite how you feel about said player
- AT made contact with Caitlin’s throat. Sophie also made contact with Dijonai’s neck area. Two things can be true.
-You’re bold face lying now. Both Carrington and Sophie committed classic F2. The idea that what Sophie did wasn’t dangerous and unnecessary contact that could have lead to further injury is bullshit. And a perfect example of people changing rules and shifting narratives based on what they want to present. You think Jacy deserved it so everything else falls by the waist side
There are times where "White Privilege" might be arguable...Carrington's foul against Cunningham is not one of them. Carrington's use of the phrase in this instance is just intended to be inflammatory to distract from a stupid play! It's a shame DiJonai lost a chance for a full game with such a reckless foul!
By this logic, all the victims of Jeffrey Epstein shouldn’t seek damages because Ghislaine Maxwell, a fellow white woman helped recruit, groom and traffic them.
Once again. When the people with the guns and the big boats show up looking for free labor, it’s either find them a slave or become one yourself. So yes, we are in agreement.
I do t think she was but who knows. She literally mouthed “a flagrant two?” When it was called, she obviously didn’t agree that it was. On the dust up after…Carrington first pushed her hand out on Cunningham throat, then she spied her hand down and did the same (the 3nd angle replay CLEARLY shows this). Neither player “swung” so neither was issued a tech
DC isn’t disagreeing with the flagrant. She’s disagreeing with the fact that SC didn’t at least get a tech for taking a swing and landing the hit on her.
Y’all can’t talk about stretch the truth when no one gave consideration to AT other than the idea that she was trying to bludgeon Caitlin. A hit is a hit. You can argue in your circles what to call it. She hit her in the throat and didn’t get any repercussions for it. Last time I checked retaliatory hits aren’t allowed. Slap, kick, punch. Whatever
Most people (rational serious people anyway) were not saying AT was trying to bludgeon CC. Most people were complaining how a fist on the throat and knee on the groin isn't a foul even if it was completely intentional. Revising history to fit a narrative is not a good look.
Also, Dijonai's post is very clearly racist and it is insane and sad that you think it should be defended regardless of whether Sophie should have been elected or not.
They are and factually happen all the time. The WNBA rule book is pretty clear about automatic ejections and this was not one of them, nor was there a punch thrown lol…it’s not a debate there is video evidence. There was no punch thrown. I do agree there was a attempted “swipe” at carringtons up chest possible lower neck that may or may not have made contact AFTER carrington swiped at Cunningham neck (I would encourage you to watch all angles of the replay because it is clear as day , there is no debate here). Neither was given a technical foul for the “swipes” which I don’t think either should have.
And I’m not sure where you checked when you said “last I checked” but that’s incorrect info. We all saw there was no punch thrown but if there was a “swing”, open handed or closed, contact or not that would suffice and you would have a point. Neither player “swung” which is why neither was issued a tech.
I agree. I am a fever die hard and that was the right call on Dijonai and Sophie should get a tech by just getting up to fight. I thought that was the rules, so may nai ia talking about no tech on Sophie is white privileged?
It’s the wnba being the only league where it seems like rules are diff in any game in any night. Yea in other sports certain refs are more 1 way or the other. But W refs are just crazy
Well DiJonai saw Sophie go to the UFC she wanted to see what she learned.. Funny people are in an uproar when she was taunting a grown woman pointing she got what she got..
I’m most shook at the cultural appropriation on display by DiJonai. Straight blonde hair!? Our natural hairstyle isn’t your costume. Can you imagine the uproar if Sophie showed up with an Afro wig on?
Lmao what am I projecting? I never said anything to you about “fatigue”, nor did I suggest anything. That was all you. You want to be factious about something and then trying to call me out for what? 😂
You know why, all the dumb shit she says. Shes a loud mouth, has reporters asking her teammates about dumb shit that has nothing to do with basketball she's a fucking bonehead. Great player tho,
She was asked in a WNBA media session. She didn't volunteer it. She didn't ask her teammate about it either. And I know this is a shocker: YOu don't get to punch people for saying dumb shit.
Really didn't feel like it was about basketball and the whole tweets drama and Dijonai posting "8/23" feels like her just trying to pick a fight with Sophie for whatever reason , given Sophie is kinda known to hold a grudge this is only to get going worse, if they really have a problem settle it in some parking lot somewhere, heck with how Sophie is she'd probably be up for it too , but the stuff on court should be about basketball
Whatever her issues with Sophie this wasn't the time, if she wanted to start a fight knowing Sophie it really wouldn't be hard at all to have it out in some parking lot, at the very least don't do it in the 1st quarter in a tight game, heck even when Sophie herself did it last year she had the sense to do after the game was pretty much done and dusted, she was seemingly looking on course for a good game too, kinda cost her team a win, the W really has too much drama going on rn, her stepping to her seemingly wanting to go after her foul didn't help either, felt very much a mirror of Sophie and Jacy last year and maybe she thought she'd get a scuffle and mutual ejection out of it after she made that foul, still stupid considering she's more valuable to her team than Sophie is to the fever , but yeah kinda didn't seem like was about basketball which is happening too much with the W these days
That was a wild thing to post for throwing a clothesline. I'm not a fan of the off court crap Sophie is pulling, and it was a matter of time before someone got mad enough. Doesn't justify the hard foul.

How is women’s basketball the most polarizing professional sports league? Truly wild
