DiJonai Carrington posts a sketch that catches Caitlin Clark's eye

Last month, Sun guard DiJonai Carrington dug her long fingernails into Caitlin Clark's eye during a WNBA postseason match.

For months, Carrington had posted vicious tweets about Clark, her fans and white people in America. Different angles of the incident I suggest that Carrington deliberately poked Clark in the eye.

While doing her job as a journalist, USA Today reporter Christine Brennan asked Carrington if she had intended to devalue Clark (which she had already done earlier in the season).

Carrington scoffed at the question in her usual condensing tone, claiming she didn't even know she'd hit Clark in the eye. The WNBA Players' Association responded with USA Today calls for discipline Brennan for asking the question.

(The WNBA union was more concerned with protecting Carrington from a question than with protecting Clark from being poked in the eye.)

The usual suspects in sports media used Brennan's question to further support their longstanding claim that black women were being harassed on Caitlin Clark's behalf, including Elle Duncan, Jemele Hill, Chiney Ogwumike, Monica McNuttjob and Andraya Carter.

But the narrative they are pushing is simply not true.

In fact, players like DiJonai Carrington, Angel Reese and Chennedy Carter have entered the national conversation this season because of their petty — and sometimes violent — behavior toward Caitlin Clark.

Simply put, they are targeting Clark; people respond online; and then the women scream victim and racism. Rinse and repeat.

Case in point: Carrington's latest social media post.

This week, Carrington and her lesbian lover recorded a video making fun of the Clark incident. In the video, Smith pokes Carrington's eye, to which she responds, “You poked me in the eye.”

Carrington grins, “Did you do that on purpose?”

Carrington gave Clark a black eye. She could have seriously injured her. It is dangerous to stick a long nail into an eyeball. And again, multiple video angles suggest she did it on purpose.

Apparently she doesn't feel the slightest remorse. Like Angel Reese, Carrington hopes to make her one-sided rivalry with Clark a social media star.

Hatred of Caitlin Clark has become an entire industry supported by Black Twitter. And it's lucrative.

Remember when Carrington and her media minions rant about the criticism of her new little skit. She once again placed herself at the center of the discussion by making fun of Clark.

This is accompanied by a precise examination.

A self-imposed exam does not make you a victim. Getting stabbed in the eye by a deranged mean girl makes you a victim.
