Skip Bayless’ latest comments will make Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White angry.
DiJonai Carrington dropping a ‘white privilege’ comment immediately after being ejected from the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game led to a massive WNBA controversy.
Carrington was ejected for a hard foul on the Fever’s Sophie Cunningham. Despite knowing that, head coach Stephanie White has tried to defend Carrington over her own player.
This led to Fever fans demanding White’s resignation, but the coach recently dropped a fiery response. The new response has apparently helped analyst Skip Bayless figure out the true meaning behind Carrington’s social media jab.

Skip Bayless says DiJonai Carrington has Stephanie White privilege
In a recent X post, Bayless dropped a simple explanation for Carrington’s ‘white privilege’ comments after the Cunningham controversy.
“I don’t know. Maybe when DiJonai Carrington immediately tweeted ‘white privilege’ after her Flagrant 2 ejection, she meant Fever coach Stephanie White likes and protects her more than White does Sophie Cunningham,” Bayless wrote on X .
Due to White’s lack of a clear defense of Cunningham, Bayless has tied Carrington’s ‘white privilege’ comments to her.
After being massively called out on social media, White did address it before the Fever’s recent game against the New York Liberty.
She defended her stance by claiming she did not watch the replay of Carrington’s foul on Cunningham. Fans are still split even after her explanation.
