Even though both players are adamant that it was not on purpose, one Indiana Fever fan in attendance on Wednesday night did not agree. The length of Carrington’s nails makes the woman look absolutely ridiculous. All of the outlandish discourse began during Clark’s first-ever playoff game on Sunday evening. She finished the game with a black eye after an unfortunate play early in the first quarter. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> During a WNBA playoff game on September 22, 2024, Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark was inadvertently poked in the eye by Connecticut Sun's DiJonai Carrington, leading to Clark falling to the ground and developing a black eye, though no foul was called during the incident. <a href="https://t.co/5TmZK07rV7" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/5TmZK07rV7 </a> — Mr Makiri (@MrMakiri) <a href="https://twitter.com/MrMakiri/status/1837971898694881796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> September 22, 2024 </a></blockquote><script async charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> Carrington poked Clark in the eye.

Even though there is no bad blood between them, a large number of Clark supporters tried to make the eye poke something that it is not. They, and others, also tried to make it about race. I am not going to do that. However, one woman in attendance at Game 2 is being labeled (by others) as racist for her outfit— which is the entire focus of this article. Her shirt was taped to read “BAN NAILS.” She also wore fake paper nails. <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> I had the misfortune of sharing a row with Lady Misogynoir at tonight’s <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ConnecticutSun?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> #ConnecticutSun </a> game Photo descriptions: a woman in a blue shirt that says “BAN NAILS” with long paper mocking acrylic nails that are commonly worn by Black women and notably by Sun player DiJonai Carrington <a href="https://t.co/VufQyIOi6Z" rel="nofollow"> https://t.co/VufQyIOi6Z </a><a href="https://t.co/2yo90eyyf0" rel="nofollow"> pic.twitter.com/2yo90eyyf0 </a> — Chanda Prescod-Weinstein (@IBJIYONGI) <a href="https://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/status/1839153122893009254?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow"> September 26, 2024 </a></blockquote><script async charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></figure> Carrington poked Clark’s eye with her left hand.
