DiJonai Carrington jabbed Caitlin Clark’s eye during Game 1 of the Sun-Fever series, with angles suggesting it was intentional.
Carrington has mocked Clark for months, and the LA Times initially highlighted this history with the headline: ‘Caitlin Clark suffers black eye. It was caused by player who mocked her in June.’
Despite the context, a familiar media figure stepped in soon after the article’s release.
“If I worked at the @latimes I would be calling/emailing about the people who wrote & approved this headline. If those people aren’t willing to PUT THEIR NAMES BEHIND accusing Carrington of INTENTIONALLY poking Clark in the eye, it’s because they know this is flatout wrong,” Sarah Spain posted on X.
As expected, the LA Times caved, changing the headline to: ‘Caitlin Clark suffers black eye. She says it was no excuse for her rough playoff debut.’
The LA Times removes DiJonai Carrington's history of hating on Caitlin Clark after outrage from Sarah Spain and others.
