WNBA's DiJonai Carrington Draws Criticism Over Anti-Trump Hoodie

Carrington's pre-game outfit referencing a 2016 tour reignites debates about her on-court and off-court behavior.

DiJonai Carrington, a WNBA player for the Connecticut Sun and the Unrivaled league's Mist, wore a hoodie featuring an explicit anti-Trump message before a game in Miami, Florida.
The hoodie referenced rapper YG's 2016 'F--- Donald Trump Tour,' and Carrington shared photos of the outfit on social media, sparking backlash from conservative figures, including Riley Gaines.
Carrington has faced controversy previously, including accusations of intentionally poking Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark in the eye during a 2024 WNBA playoff game, a claim she denies.
Carrington has been outspoken on social media, criticizing Clark's fans and calling out racism and prejudice in the league, which has further polarized opinions about her.
Riley Gaines, a conservative influencer, has repeatedly criticized Carrington's actions and statements, framing them as part of broader cultural and political debates.
