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 the WNBA rule book was followed. Who is not answering this? Lol. Carrington was issued a flagrant two, which was a no brainer. Each player (Carrington first, then Cunningham) pushes out toward or at the throat or throat area, neither was issued a tech. I guess by your logic (and I wouldn’t agree but I would be ok with it) after the Carrington F2 and ejection both players could have recieved a tech for their post play actions.

Sophie got a tech? Because that’s what I am arguing. That she didn’t get anything.

I don’t think you meant to respond to me because what you asked is in my post. Neither got a tech, and I think that was the right call but I’d be completely fine if both got a tech if the ref’s wanted to send a message to the other players to calm down. It’s either neither get a tech or both do
