Fox News • • sports
Key Points:
- During a recent WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky, DiJonai Carrington received a Flagrant 2 foul for an apparent clothesline against Sophie Cunningham, sparking widespread discussion.
- The incident drew commentary from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who suggested that such aggressive plays would not occur in Florida, highlighting the state's lack of a current WNBA franchise.
- Florida previously hosted two WNBA teams—the Orlando Miracle (1999-2002) and the Miami Sol (2000-2002)—but has not had a franchise for over 20 years, possibly due to concerns like those raised by Uthmeier.
- The altercation has intensified scrutiny due to Carrington's prior conflicts with Fever players and a controversial "white privilege" post, prompting debate over league discipline and player conduct.
- The Florida Attorney General's office has been contacted for further comment but has not responded as of yet.
