The Indiana Fever have been at the center of what has seemed like one controversy after another throughout the 2026 season. Most recently, teh discourse surrounding the team has been dominated by a hard foul that Chicago Sky guard DiJonai Carrington had on Sophie Cunningham.
In the aftermath of the foul, which led to all sorts of outrageous responses, White said that she didn't feel Carrington had any malicious intent behind what was an admittedly reckless play.
"Look, it was a hard foul," White said. "It did happen, and I thought it was the right call. One of the things about [Carrington] is that she's going to play her ***** off, man. She's going to compete. ***** ody's going to go walking in for a layup. I don't oppose the hard foul, but I also don't think that she intentionally went for the neck."
In the aftermath, many, such as Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, called for White to lose her job for not properly sticking up for Cunningham in their eyes.
"This isn't politics; your player got ***** aulted. Defend your player in the press conference. Be like, 'Yeah, that was a dirty play; she should've hit the showers.' She acts like she's the coach of the other team. I don't care if she's the best Xs and Os, which she's not, get her the ***** out of there. Either defend your players or get lost."
