Connecticut Sun guard DiJonai Carrington unleashed a race-hustling tirade against rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, claiming the Indiana Fever guard\u2019s name is being used to \u201cjustify\u201d racism and homophobia against black lesbians in the WNBA.<\/p>\n
\u201cDawg. How one can not be bothered by their name being used to justify racism, bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia & the intersectionalities of them all is nuts,\u201d Carrington whined Thursday on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all see the s***. We all have a platform. We all have a voice & they all hold weight. Silence is a luxury.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carrington\u2019s meltdown occurred shortly after Clark diplomatically stated that her main focus is playing basketball \u2014 not being pulled into divisive culture wars<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a reminder, Carrington was booed<\/a> by fans in attendance at a Sun home game on Monday after bumping Clark, and then openly mocking her.<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/VaXFTFEP2Z<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Zaksheske (@RealDanZak) June 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Despite that reality check on Monday, Carrington persisted in airing out perceived grievances on Thursday:<\/p>\n WARNING: The following post contains language that some viewers may find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Dawg.

Everything on the outside, I can\u2019t control that so I\u2019m not going to spend time thinking about that,\u201d Clark added.<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cPeople can talk about what they want to talk about, create conversations about whatever it is. But for myself, I am just there to play basketball. I\u2019m here to have fun. I am trying to help our team win, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n These low life race hustlers, like @JimTrotter_NFL<\/a> will not stop until they can get her to say something they can use against her (probably call her a racist) \u2013 or say something they can twist for their own sick political ideology. pic.twitter.com\/YIHK9PPibv<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 piercheney (@LVpolitic) June 13, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Also on Thursday, The Athletic\u2019s James Boyd asked Clark how she feels when people \u201cuse your name for racism, misogyny, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n Clark once again responded deftly to the loaded question by making a blanket condemnation of anyone who uses her to push their own divisive agendas.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s disappointing,\u201d she said. \u201cEverybody in our world deserves the same amount of respect. The women in our league deserve the same amount of respect. People should not be using my name to push those agendas. It\u2019s disappointing. It\u2019s not acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cJust treating every single woman in this league with the same amount of respect is just a basic human thing that everyone should do. Just be a kind person and treat them how you would want to be treated.\u201d<\/p>\n Woke sports media are so shook by Caitlin Clark that now they are arguing her name is being used to promote racism and homophobia and questioning her about it.
