Skip Bayless alleges Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White may be the source of DiJonai Carrington's post-ejection comment referencing 'white privilege.' The incident occurred during a game between the Indiana Fever and another team (unspecified in the provided text). Bayless believes White instigated the remark to deflect from officiating concerns.
DiJonai Carrington made the ‘white privilege’ comment immediately after being ejected from the game. According to Bayless, this was not a spontaneous reaction but rather a pre-planned statement orchestrated by Stephanie White. He suggests that White is attempting to frame any criticism of the referees as racially motivated.
Bayless stated, “Stephanie White will make Skip Bayless angry,” implying White’s actions are intentionally provocative and designed to elicit a response from him. The core of his argument rests on the belief that White planted the idea in Carrington's head to preemptively counter potential complaints about the officiating crew. He believes this is a strategic move by White to control the narrative surrounding the game and protect her team from scrutiny.
