The WNBA star, Dijonai Carrington, has criticized Donald Trump again and asked the League to take measures “against some of the most divisive policies of the president.
The Connecticut Sun player caused outrage last week for using a hoodie of 'F *** Donald Trump' for an unparalleled basketball game before publishing the photos in his account X with the subtitle: 'What he says My sweatshirt '.
Trump began his second term on January 20 issuing an executive order “defending women from the extremism of gender ideology”, which declared that the government will only recognize two sexes: men and women.
Any policy, document or financing that is considered to promote the 'gender ideology' will be eliminated or detained, he said.
Trump then signed another order, “protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation” on January 28, which stops financing and the promotion of the attention affirmed by gender for any person under 19.
It also restored the participation of the United States in two international anti-abortion PACT, including one that reduces family planning funds for foreign organizations if they provide or promote abortions.

Now he has asked the WNBA to “take measures” against some of the president's policies
He restored the policy of Mexico City, which opponents call the “global gag rule” because they say that Silence Defensores.
Established by Reagan in 1984, it has been terminated by each Democratic president since then and restored when a Republican returns to the White House.
Now Carrington has demanded that the WNBA take a position against Trump's agenda.
During a press conference before an unique league game on Thursday, she said: 'We see that some of the policies are already in action and, of course, that means that like WNBA and be at the forefront of many of these movements It is time for us to also take action.
'It must definitely happen as women, women's rights, as, now, LGBTQ rights that are being removed now. They have not yet happened, but definitely in process.
Carrington was involved in controversy that involved Caitlin Clark last season after he pushed her in the eye during the playoffs against Indiana's fever.
Clark had a small amount of bruises from the incident, but laughed, while Carrington was furious for being asked by the reporter of USA Today Christine Brennan if the foul was intentional.
“I don't even know why I intend to hit anyone in his eye,” Carrington told her.
That doesn't even make sense to me. But no, I didn't. I didn't know that I hit her, in reality. I was trying to play on the ball, and I guess I continued and hit her.
Obviously he is never intentional. That is not even the type of player I am.

Clark, on the other hand, never suggested that he thought Carrington set out to hurt her.
'He was not intentional in any way. Just look at the work, 'he said.
But Brennan's question caused a violent reaction from the WNBA players association, who launched an extraordinary statement that said that his question to Carrington was' a shameless attempt to hook a professional athlete to participate in a narrative that is false and Designed to feed the racists, homophobic and misogynist vitriol in social networks.
USA Today defended Brennan, responding with his own statement that said: 'We reject the notion that the interview perpetuated any narrative that is not obtaining the player's perspective directly …
“Christine Brennan is considered a defender of women and athletes, but first of all, she is a journalist.”
