The Worst Coach in the Worst League Is Told to “Get Lost”
Steph White of the Indiana Fever WNBA team is told to resign after standing up for the woman who assaulted her player, Sophie Cunningham.
Dave Portnoy went after White in a rant on social media.
Dave Portnoy ERUPTS on Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White for refusing to defend Sophie Cunningham after being viciously fouled by DiJonai Carrington.
PORTNOY: “This is your team! Do you want them murdered?! Do you want them killed?! That’s what you sound like!”
“When do you ever see… a coach not defend their own players? She hasn’t done it with Caitlin when Caitlin got punched in the throat.”
“This isn’t politics. Your player got assaulted! Defend your player in the press conference!”
“She acts like she’s the coach of the other team… Either defend your players or get lost!”
“This would be like the Bad Boy Pistons playing the Bulls, and they’re killing Jordan. And Phil Jackson gets up there and be like, ‘They’re just playing hard. We have no problem with that.'”
After the game, the player who fouled Cunningham wrote “WHITE PRIVILEGE” on Threads and tagged the Fever.
Sky Coach Taylor Marsh promised to handle his own player after the post. The only coach who defended DiJonai Carrington was the one coaching against her.

The Lt Governor of Indiana has also called for White to be gone –
Indiana Lt. Governor @MicahBeckwith calls for the firing of Fever coach Stephanie White, who defended DiJonai Carrington after an indefensible foul on Sophie Cunningham.

The press is not allowed to ask White about her comments. It’s a game.
This is Stephanie White’s reaction to a rigged softball question that allows her to pretend she was asked a real question. She was never asked about defending DiJonai Carrington over Sophie. The Lt. Governor of Indiana called for her to be fired. No question asked about it. https://t.co/d3jtNflpbs

Seems the white lesbian is angry she ain't a poc. Meanwhile when did the hard foul she is celebrating become part of the sport
Leftist women don't even understand the concept of protecting their own. I expect nothing more from anything run by women.
The W in WNBA stands for Worst
