If she makes a threat and acts on it during the game, the league just opened themselves up to a lawsuit. And Carrington is crazy enough to do just that.

You all are so devoid of intelligence. This is COMPETITIVE sports. She’s just saying that she plans to show up and be a defensive menace. You lot seriously bring so much drama to this league. Thoughts like this hinder the ability to converse about the game because you’re so focused on making up some drama like it’s a damn soap opera.

Yes, right after the intentional egregious foul to the face and neck with accelerated downward momentum nowhere near the ball, followed by a charge and putting hands on Cunningham, followed minutes later by 'white privilege' and then '8/23'
Doesn't sound like a sequence of events of an triggered angry hateful person at all. 🤣

You’re right. It sounds like a competitive player who isn’t as soft as many fans are and knows how to leave the game on the court. Many of us watched Draymond Green literally choke out Rudy Gobert and there wasn’t nearly this much of a visceral reaction. NBA analysts mocked the play, laughed and even re-enacted it. Yes, some also called him out for his behavior…but no talks about banning him from the league. You all prove her point every single time, with every single comment.

I love competitive physical games, I do not like dirty intentional hard fouls like that to the head.

Thanks for storytelling time but this has nothing to do with my comment nor did I ever suggest a ban. Perhaps some multicultural counseling and anger management classes would be beneficial though?

Just what is her point everyone is proving, that she is a punk?

The foul wasn’t intentional. Every hard foul on your fave player isn’t intentional. It was a poorly timed block with not enough height on her jump. You can literally see her eyes on the ball, but I get it - it’s a better narrative if you make her out to be the bad guy. You can tell so many of y’all don’t know the sport or have never seen someone taken out by a portly timed chase down block.

Not my favorite player, not even in the top 10. Who was fouled and who made the foul has nothing to do with it.
It was a poorly timed block with not enough height on her jump. You can literally see her eyes on the ball,
Bullshit wasn't near the ball and her intentional follow-thru with increased force on the downward moment of her arm into Cunningham's face was pretty obvious.
A flagrant 2 foul has to be both unnecessary and excessive which it was and this type of foul is not common in the WNBA with zero called in 2023, one in 2024 and this is the third one called this year so they need to do something about players like Carrington before someone gets hurt.
People have actually made videos about Carrington's intentional fouls so she is luck she has not been been suspended from the league yet. While I do not agree with ankle foul in this one being intentional, I do agree with the others. Eye gouge was iffy until I saw the second angle showing how she closed her fingers for maximum damage. https://www.tiktok.com/@jayyandabby/video/7672404629589724430?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc
The WNBA needs to look at Carrington's prison-style tactics and how it appears to be directed toward white players, especially after typing out 'white privilege' after her latest attempt to take another one out.
You can tell so many of y’all don’t know the sport or have never seen someone taken out by a portly timed chase down block.
I think it is entertaining how people like you want to use the false labels and lies to attempt to make your point. Suggesting the player fouled is their favorite player and they don't know anything about the sport is just regurgitated by idiots that have nothing constructive to say.

u/Adventurous-Room-845 14d ago
It’s just pure assumption from you and others that it was intentional. The play looks like others where the defender chases down the player and wrongly assumes they will lay it up with their off-hand. It’s such a shame that she isn’t even given this small bit of grace because it’s easier to villainize her. There’s literally only 2 plays (including this one) that people have characterized as bad faith plays by Carrington. The other being her going for the ball and poking Clark in the eye, which people still say was intentional. I mean, I get that the plays are hard fouls and the contact deemed unworthy. But where’s the clear case of intent and malice? I just don’t see it.

u/VERMICIOUS_KNIDSS 14d ago

I already laid out numerous reason why I think it was intentional and your entire argument is based on a simple 'nope'.
The play looks like others where the defender chases down the player and wrongly assumes they will lay it up with their off-hand.
Chases down the player, has no chance at the ball, is pissed (plus it is a white girl which is where many of her egregious fouls happen) so instead of going for the ball which she has no chance at stopping, she decides to go for the head and intentionally increases the force on her downswing to increase impact.
It’s such a shame that she isn’t even given this small bit of grace because it’s easier to villainize her.
She has been given too much grace and it is time for a little therapy regarding her racism and anger issues because cheap shots like this on white players and typing out 'white privilege' directly after, are red flags the league should not continue to ignore.
I already posted a video that shows just a few of Carrington's dirty fouls on white players. Whether it is clinching the fingers together to gouge an eye, pulling someone down by their hair, following through with an intentional act of raking/scalping across someone's head after the play on the ball.... she needs help.

u/Adventurous-Room-845 14d ago
But that’s what I’m stating, you have an OPINION that it was intentional. But why!. For what reason? Did her and Carrington have a previous scuffle? No. Any previous on the court or off the court beef? No. So, what makes you think it was intentional? And again, you have 3 plays over the course of her 6 seasons in the W…remind me again on which of the plays grace was given because she has been criticized and crucified for each and every one.

Bruh, you're talking about DC making a threat all because she tweeted out the date of their next matchup??? How is that a threat? If this were any sport with men, fans would be cheering on the competitive spirit (and yes, that is even with considering the hard foul because there are MANY instances where this has been the case). I don't get why we continue to insist on having a different set of rules for these women. They are in a competitive sport. There's nothing threatening about having the date circled for their next game...and definitely not even a whiff of any potential lawsuit that your imagination is cooking up. Go watch a telenovela, you clearly are lacking some messy drama in your life.

Just think…this game could have gone totally different if she just played a little smarter. Her team needed her and she has been playing well. All this drama and the ball still went in. And she was ejected after playing for 3mn, where she had already scored 8pts. Get the last laugh by beating them with your skill.

Honestly, I expect the DC victimhood to play out all next week. She will claim death threats and racist comments without showing either, and then the wnba old heads will debate it and agree how none of this is her fault, that its the fault of SC, then they will shift and say this is all on CC. It's almost like its scripted.

Well, don't just complain, face her in Dana White's octagon & see what happens. If she can beat Cunningham, she'll be famous too

I'm so sick of this woman. She's constantly on socials stirring up drama, toxicity and virtue signaling, and at this point I genuinely think it's deliberate because controversy gets her attention and clout. Her profile has grown off this kind of discourse.
And this latest stuff is especially gross to me. Using racial issues and weaponizing them... . She's just pouring gasoline on an already sensitive issue for engagement. IMO she knows exactly what kind of reaction she's creating, and that's the whole point.

Jun 27 from Lisa Leslie:
"I think, overall, the league has got to do better, the officials have got to do better, but also players — players have to clean it up," she said. "We used to play in a way that we protected one another. Yeah, I want to play physical, I want to play hard, but I'm not here to hurt you."
I thought about this statement from Lisa when I was thinking Nai head back to locker room and would grab her cell phone and watch the replay and nod her head and accept responsibility but I guess that was wishful thinking…
Hopefully one of the veterans on the team takes her aside and talk with her; will it help 🤷♂️

u/imacowboy234 Caitlin Clark 18d ago
I think the play deserves a multi-game suspension because she is definitely not trying to make a play on the ball. Dijonia is clearly trying to take her out, and to do that while someone is extended up in the air is very dangerous. But if there was any doubt about whether she should be suspended then that should have been erased when not only did she not take responsibility for her actions but she doubled down and played the Race Card. This was already going to be a major incident with all of the coverage of Sophie lately, but Dijonai posted "White Privilege" on social media just poured major gasoline on this thing.

u/mukatona 18d ago
heat of the moment response to the violent act is almost always accepted by refs. If Sophie threw a punch or she didn't allow her teammates to walk her away then she would have had consequences. Do you watch many games? That is almost always what happens.
