DiJonai Carrington appears determined to make this controversy even messier as she tries to explain what she meant by invoking “WHITE PRIVILEGE” after being ejected from Saturday’s WNBA game.

The Chicago Sky player was tossed after a hard foul on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, clotheslining Cunningham as she drove toward the basket for a layup. Officials assessed Carrington a Flagrant 2, which meant an automatic ejection.

Not long afterward, Carrington took to Threads — yes, Threads is apparently still a thing — and posted about “white privilege.” She even tagged the Fever’s official account, making it pretty difficult to believe the timing was just some wild coincidence or that
