In a recent WNBA playoff game between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever, Dijonai Carrington found herself at the center of attention for more than just her on-court performance. Following a heated moment in the game, Carrington directed a taunt towards her opponents, sparking immediate controversy and backlash across social media.
The incident occurred during a crucial playoff matchup, where emotions ran high as both teams battled for a spot in the next round. After a play that intensified tensions on the court, Carrington unleashed a provocative gesture towards her opponents, which quickly spread online and became a focal point of discussion among fans and analysts alike.
Amidst the backlash, Carrington responded in a manner that further intensified the controversy. Rather than apologizing or expressing regret, she defiantly asserted, “I do what I want, I see nothing wrong here” – a statement that polarized opinions even further.
Email Sent To Dijonai Carrington Sparks Swift Response From The WNBA
Dijonai Carrington remains in the spotlight in the wake of Wednesday’s win over Indiana.
The Connecticut star shared a threatening email she received from someone, taking to her Instagram Story to reveal as much. The message contained a racial slur and a threat of sexual assault.
The WNBA wasted no time in responding.
“While we welcome a growing fan base, the WNBA will not tolerate racist, derogatory, or threatening comments made about players, teams and anyone affiliated with the league,” the league said in a statement. “League security is actively monitoring threat-related activity and will work directly with teams and arenas to take appropriate measures, to include involving law enforcement, as necessary.”
Carrington didn’t speak about the shared email after the Sun’s win, but her teammate Alyssa Thomas blamed Fever fans for most of the abuse players have received this season.
“It’s been a lot of nonsense. I think in my 11-year career, I’ve never experienced the racial comments (like I have) from the Indiana Fever fan base,” she said. “I’ve never been called the things that I’ve been called on social media, and there’s no place for it. Basketball is headed in a great direction. But we don’t want fans that are going to degrade us and call us racial names.”
