Brittney Griner is finally back on American Soil after being wrongfully detained for 294 days in Russia. The last ten months have been a battle for her and now she is finally back home and happy. Many aren’t a fan of the exchange which brought her back. As the Biden Administration had to give away “Merchant of Death,” Viktor Bout to bring Griner back.
This prisoner swap deal has divided the internet as many around the globe and guys like Andrew Tate, Donald Trump and Ben Askren aren’t a fan of the trade and are referring to it as a bad deal for the nation. But nothing can be changed now as Brittney Griner is back home and happy. She recently got released from the Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas. Eight days after she was exchanged for Viktor Bout.
After leaving the medical center she spoke out for the first time. As via her personal handle on Instagram, Brittney Griner sent out a statement for everyone. Everyone who was around her journey during the past ten months. In the statement, BG thanked everyone rooting for her. Some of the special mentions were: Cherelle Griner, her family, Vince Kozar, her Russian legal team, President Biden, the Biden-Harris administration and many other organizations too.
Thanking everyone Brittney wrote: “It feels so good to be home! The last 10 months have been a battle at every turn. I dug deep to keep my faith and it was the love from so many of you. That helped keep me going. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone for your help. I am grateful to each person who advocated for me…”
Brittney also had a special message for President Biden who got her back as she wrote: “President Biden, you brought me home and I know you are committed to bringing Paul Whelan and all Americans home too. I will use my platform to do whatever I can to help you. I also encourage everyone that played a part in bringing me home to continue their efforts to bring all Americans home. Every family deserves to be whole.”
BG as of now is returning to her hometown to spend some time with her family. And, adding to all of that she has also mentioned about her return to the league. Where she’ll be again hooping and dominating for the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA.
