​Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington said that her social media post about White privilege was not about her flagrant 2 foul on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham on Saturday, but about a desire for “consistency across the board” in officiating, an issue that has sparked controversy throughout the WNBA season.Carrington had posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on her Threads account and tagged the Indiana Fever shortly after her ejection from the game. She was whistled for a flagrant 2 foul after her left arm connected with Cunningham’s head and jaw as Cunningham was midair attempting a layup. The blow knocked Cunningham to the floor, but she quickly got up to confront Carrington before her Fever teammate Makayla Timpson pulled her away.“I’ve never once claimed that the assessment of the foul was White privilege (that was your assumption),” Carrington posted Monday on X, in response to commentary from sports analyst Emmanuel Acho, who said that the flagrant 2 decision was accurate. He also called her post “ignorant” and “asinine.”“Furthermore, I’m the LAST thing from ignorant or asinine when it comes to speaking on ‘white privilege’, do ya research on that one,” Carrington continued. “I actually went to school, one of the top universities might I add, to educate myself on this exact subject. I would never use that term as a rhetorical weapon knowing the historical and social weight it holds without having the proper evidence to substantiate it.”Carrington, who played four years in college at Stanford before transferring to Baylor, told reporters before the Sky’s game against the Seattle Storm Monday night that her post was aimed at the league more broadly. She did not address why she tagged the Fever in her post.“I would say that I would just love consistency across the board when it comes to things like that,” Carrington said when asked if Cunningham also should have received a technical by officials for her reaction to the foul.“Whether it’s the foul that I committed, whether it’s the reaction, the retaliation, I would just love it to be consistent across the board regardless of the name on your jersey or your skin color or the score of the game, the stakes whatever, I would love there to just be consistency when it comes to all of that,” Carrington continued. “I don’t think we’re there yet. That’s something that I’ve talked to the league about as well. I think that will eliminate a lot of frustrations that we all have.”Criticism of officiating has been a growing issue for years in the WNBA, with complaints from players prompting the league to create a task force at the end of the 2025 season to examine areas for improvement. But frequent officiating controversies have continued in this season.In her pregame comments, Carrington said she talked with the league about the situation.“No, I don’t feel encouraged,” Carrington said about those discussions. “But that doesn’t mean you’r
