As our own Grateful Calvin reported on Sunday, the WNBA's Sophie Cunningham was clotheslined on the court by opposing player DiJonai Carrington, resulting in a Flagrant 2 foul and Carrington's ejection from the game. Carrington posted to X from the locker room, "WHITE PRIVILEGE #indianafever." The incident was covered for Sports Illustrated by Kristen Wong under the headline, "Sophie Cunningham Got a Bitter Taste of Karma After Drawing Flagrant Foul in Fever-Sky."

Clay Travis is back to let us know that Sports Illustrated has updated the headline for its piece. 

Outkick reports:

Citing "karma" as the reason behind Cunningham taking a hard foul while she's received constant backlash for stating that men do not belong in women's sports came across, to many, as a pointed effort from Sports Illustrated.

The story, written by breaking news writer Kristen Wong, was later updated with the following title: "Sophie Cunningham's Enforcer Role Gets Reversed Onto Her With Hard Foul in Fever-Sky."

As MAZE pointed out with a collage of headlines, Wong "definitely has a thing for" Cunningham and her Indiana Fever teammate Caitlin Clark.

It's true that at most major media outlets, the writer of a piece usually doesn't write the headline. Still, Wong's animosity is clear.

Sports Illustrated obviously felt enough of a backlash that they went back and changed the headline. We're sure they still stand by the sentiment, though.
