DiJonai Carrington grew up the daughter of an 8-year NFL safety who played in two Super Bowls. Her mother was the athletic director at her private Christian high school and also her head coach. Her father coached alongside her mother. Her sister was on staff too. She went straight from that private school to Stanford.
Sophie Cunningham grew up in small-town Missouri, in a working-class family, and built her way up through hard work not a household with an NFL pension and a private-school tuition already covered.
So when Carrington threw a forearm across Sophie's head and neck, got ejected, and posted "WHITE PRIVILEGE" it's worth asking who actually grew up with more advantages here.
Privilege was never really about skin color. It's about what door you were born walking through. And by that measure, this one isn't close.
π Comment YES if the "privilege" here runs the opposite direction of what she claimed.
