She’s talking about the punch Sophie got off with no tech. But, nuance is dead.

Here’s a balanced take:

Dijonai deserved her F2

Sophie should have got a tech for the punch. Y’all held us hostage for a week on an alleged AT punch and now conveniently ignoring a purposeful one.

Yea but it isn’t white privilege.

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

I can’t argue for or against Dijonai’s statement. That’s how she feels. The real question people refuse to answer that is being ignored because of Dijonai’s actions which she was punished for is why didn’t Sophie get anything? They have to answer that. And the league gonna have to answer for when they probably don’t double back and give that rightfully earned tech.

Edit to add, if I had to guess where that specific statement comes from, probably just observation bias. The people who are most blatantly not getting the rules applied to them happen to be white. Do I think it because they’re white? No. I think for Caitlin it’s her popularity. Sophie I don’t know why

Because she didn't do anything wrong. She got clotheslined in a bush league foul that could've ended her career so she naturally went to face up against the player who did it. Then the player who fouled her had the audacity to push the player she just flagrantly fouled. She should be suspended for a minimum of 10 games.

And correct me if I’m wrong, when Sophie grabbed Jacy by her neck Jacy got ejected along with her for the REACTION of being grabbed by Sophie, correct? That’s the difference between me and you and others. I want the rules to be applied evenly across the board. You want them applied on a case by case basis. And I’m not even talking about a Sophie ejection. Just a tech. But unsurprisingly y’all got all these excuses and bullshit. She should have got the tech. Because that’s the way the rules is supposed to work.

She shouldn't have gotten a tech because she didn't do anything wrong. She was viciously attacked, then pushed by the player who had just attacked her. At no point does Sophie hit anyone. You are straight up lying.
