Brittney Griner
Brittney Griner is undoubtedly a generational and unique talent in WNBA’s history. She is a champion and has a stacked resume with multiple personal records, achievements and honors registered under her name. She also has a list of achievements for the time she spent overseas playing basketball. But still, life is not and was never easy for Brittney Griner. As she was never really accepted by the society for her body and size and gender identity and always had to live with insecurities. She is a part of the LGBTQ community and is proud of it. But she and millions of others like her deserved none of those unnecessary looks, takes and actions of the people just because of their sexuality. But still, even BG had to go through all of them even though she is a decorated athlete.
Life was rough and tough for her since her childhood as she was unique with different tastes and choices. Brittney Griner was always odd and left out from the society but once she knew that at the end of the day it’s about being yourself and comfortable she changed it all and became an inspiration for millions of others. On 15 April 2013, Brittney Griner was drafted first overall by WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and at that particular moment, she became the most prominent openly gay basketball player in the world. Brittney Griner always wanted to be her and identify herself and her gender with pride and that’s what she did from that particular day as she has made it.
But still, not many things changed for her as she was still insecure about her body frame and gender. As often the society would punish her for being her even though she was a star now. But the freedom Brittney Griner got has made her take some major steps not worrying about others. As she is spending a bright life with her wife Cherelle Griner and has also become the first openly gay athlete to be endorsed by Nike. She has suffered a lot in the past years but has paved the way for other athletes like her and supported the LGBTQ community a lot. At the end of the day, there’s no doubt about the fact that she is proud of herself and her sexuality.
But right now, she is having the worst time of her life in Russia as she is behind the bars and stuck in there. As she is a political prisoner in Russia for months and now even pleaded guilty for the drugs smuggling charges (officials found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage) which have got her booked for 9 years.

When will Brittney Griner return to American Soil?
Brittney Griner should have been back on American soil long back ago. Even efforts were made to bring her back but none of those worked. Joe Biden though has promised the country that he’ll get her back on American soil as soon as possible since even he was furious at the sentence announced for BG and called it unacceptable and demanded immediate release. But that’s not how things in Russia work so the two countries right now are negotiating a prisoner swap deal. But the Vladimir Putin government has brought in an unreal demand. Russia has requested U.S.A to add convicted murderer Vadim Krasikov in the deal for the prisoner swap of Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan along with Viktor Bout. Those are some seriously big names who are also a threat to world security. So predicting or even claiming her return is not possible yet.
