Florida AG Ties Flagrant 2 WNBA Foul to State's 20-Year Team Drought

James Uthmeier said on X that Saturday's Flagrant 2 on Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham helps explain why Florida has no WNBA team.
DiJonai Carrington of the Chicago Sky was ejected after appearing to clothesline Cunningham, turning a regular-season game into a broader flashpoint in women's basketball.
The play drew extra attention because Carrington has previously clashed with Fever star Caitlin Clark, and scrutiny may widen to possible supplemental discipline and a social-media post about "white privilege."
Florida has been without a WNBA franchise for more than 20 years after the Orlando Miracle relocated to become the Connecticut Sun and the Miami Sol folded in 2002.
