Brittney Griner’s Bold Statement
“I have forgiven. I have been silent. But if they continue to push me into a corner,
I will have no choice but to leave,” said WNBA star Brittney Griner,
shocking American sports by declaring she may leave the U.S. unless treated with respect.
Russia vs. America
After 10 months imprisoned in Russia for carrying cannabis oil, Griner says,
“At least they didn’t pretend to support me and then turn their backs.”
Back home, she faced media attacks and political ridicule:
“They freed me to be a hero for a week, then treated me like I was a burden to the nation.”
Olympics Uncertainty
Griner is expected at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but sources say,
“Griner has expressed her frustration several times…we are not sure she will continue.”
Public Reactio
Fans defend her: “She was real, she spoke up, and they hated it.”
Critics argue, “She should thank America for saving her.”
Griner’s case highlights challenges faced by icons who don’t fit traditional molds.
