The disconsolate situation of Brittney Griner
Since the Phoenix Mercury selected Brittney Griner in the first round of the 2013 WNBA Draft out of Baylor University, she has been a crucial part of the team. The 31-year-old is regarded as one of the biggest and best players in league history and was picked as one of the top 25 WNBA players in history in 2021. She began her professional career in 2013 with the US women’s national basketball team, and since then, she’s won a WNBA championship and two Olympic gold medals. She won the national collegiate title and the Player of the Year Award in 2012. In 2013, she became the first lesbian athlete to get a sponsorship deal with Nike.
Since her detention on February 17 at Sheremetyevo International Airport on the grounds that she was in possession of hashish oil-containing vape cartridges, which are illegal in that nation, the Russian government has been keeping an eye on Brittney Griner. Like many other female basketball players, Griner competes overseas during the WNBA summer season to increase her earnings and improve her expertise. Griner was delayed in her attempt to join the UMMC Ekaterinburg team in the Russian Women’s Basketball Premier League. Griner acknowledged packing unwillingly and having a prescription for cannabis oil, but she denied knowing how the item ended up in her luggage.

Cyber bullying faced by Brittney and her father
On Fathers Day, Griner shared a picture of herself with her father on Instagram where the caption was subtle. Griner, who recently revealed in her ESPN article that she often reads the messages of love and hatred that people give her on social media, was confronted with a lot of hate from the world, and she seemed to have had enough. She then replied stating: “Why don’t you try to get a life and stop being a sorry individual that has nothing to do but be a horrible demon! You need to look and [sic] the mirror and se what u are!!! Get a life!.“
After that, Griner shared a different Instagram picture illustrating the daily dosages of online abuse she receives. She has regularly been one of the WNBA’s top performers despite the criticism. Sadly, Griner’s father and other family members also face hostility as a result of their relationship with the Phoenix Mercury star. However, now that the WNBA star’s return to her hometown has greater national backing, several players from other sports leagues and fans around the world have also stepped forward to support the cause.
