An article from Fox News's OutKick accuses the WNBA of double standards after it took no visible action against Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington, who cited "White privilege" on Threads following her ejection for a flagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham. The piece contrasts this with the league's swift 24-hour suspension of Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello over a separate comment that, the article says, was not explicitly racial, arguing this shows inconsistency in how the WNBA disciplines players and coaches.

Carrington was ejected for a flagrant foul that saw her clothesline Cunningham in the face, a play Carrington has since said was not intentional. More than two days after her original post, the WNBA had not commented publicly, and Carrington played against the Seattle Storm as scrutiny continued; former NFL players and commentators have also criticised her remarks, while Carrington has since responded but left the intended meaning of her comment unclear.
