Chicago Sky’s DiJonai Carrington was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected in the first quarter after making contact with Sophie Cunningham’s face/head/neck area while chasing her down on a fast-break layup.

Cunningham went hard to the floor; the shot counted. Cunningham got up, confronted Carrington (they grabbed/exchanged words, and she was restrained by teammates/staff including Makayla Timpson).

Officials reviewed the play (initially a Flagrant 1 in some reports), upgraded it due to windup, impact, and follow-through on a vulnerable player, and ejected Carrington.

From the locker room, Carrington posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on her social media and later removed it.

Too late. She should be removed for the rest of the year for blatant racism.

People say oh the evidence the evidence. But they can never show you any and when they do its not real evidence its just cope. Shohei is a piece of shit. Like always people let the "well meaning foreigner" routine fool them.

Every single ounce of evidence for why Ohtani is innocent is public information and people who have never read a single bit of it will call you slurs for not agreeing that he's a degenerate gambler

A Mets rookie jumped, kicked his legs apart, and slapped the grass after his first career strikeout, and half of baseball called it disrespectful to the game. Here's who he actually is, because once you know the story, "respect the game" starts to sound like the disrespectful part.

His name is Jefry Yan. He's a 29-year-old rookie. Read that again: 29, and a rookie, in a sport where most careers are over by then. He signed his first pro contract in 2013, at 16. Then he spent more than four years completely out of affiliated baseball. Out. Not in the minors, not rehabbing, out of the sport. The Miami Marlins rediscovered him pitching in a men's beer league in Arizona in 2021. A beer league. The kind you play in after your dream is supposed to be dead.

From there: Single-A, Double-A, a stint in Japan with the Seibu Lions, the Dominican Winter League, Triple-A Syracuse, and finally, thirteen years after he signed, his major league debut Wednesday night in Cleveland. He struck out the first batter he faced and did the celebration he's done at every stop of that thirteen-year climb.

Now the "unwritten rules" crowd wants him to tone it down. And here's where the whole "respect the game" argument collapses on itself.

The celebration isn't disrespect. It's the most respectful thing on the field, because it's the only honest one. Yan explained it himself: he wants to play like it's a kids' game, like he always has. This is a man who was told the game didn't want him, went to a beer league, and clawed back over thirteen years. The joy is not an act. It's the accumulated release of a decade of being nobody. Asking him to suppress it to look professional is asking him to pretend the climb didn't cost what it cost.

Baseball's "respect the game" ethic has always had this problem buried inside it. The unwritten rules police celebration hardest, and they disproportionately police the players who celebrate the way Latin players celebrate. Yan is Dominican. The flat-affect, act-like-you've-been-there ideal was built by and for a specific culture of the sport, and it has spent decades treating the expressiveness common in Dominican and Venezuelan baseball as a violation. Bat flips got the same treatment until the league finally realized it was marketing gold and started selling the highlights.

Here's the tell that the "disrespect" framing is empty. His own manager, Andy Green, said he doesn't fear teams taking offense, because Yan's reputation preceded him. The people inside the game aren't offended. The offense is almost entirely from the outside, from the guardians of an etiquette that was never really about respect. It was about conformity, dressed up as respect.

And notice what nobody's disputing: the man throws 101. He threw the eight fastest pitches any Met has thrown all year in a single inning. He earned the mound the hard way and the stuff is real. The celebration isn't covering for a lack of substance. It's sitting on top of a fastball that touches 101 and a story most players would have quit on at year three.

So the real question isn't why Jefry Yan gets a pass. It's why we ever decided joy needed one.

The game doesn't get disrespected by a man celebrating the thing he waited thirteen years and one beer league to do. It gets disrespected by pretending that celebration is the problem.
