Brittney Griner Deserves Ticket Back To USSR For Comment About Transgender Athletes, Says Its A Crime For States To Ban



Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who spent 10 months in Russian detention and was released after Joe Biden traded an arms dealer for her, said it should be a crime for states to prevent transgender athletes from playing women’s sports. She also said she would never go play overseas again.

She said: “I’m never going overseas to play again unless I’m representing my country at the Olympics. You know, if I make that team, that would be the only time I would leave the U.S. soil.”

“That ranks high on the list of things I’ll be fighting for and speaking up against,” Griner said when asked by an ESPN reporter about advocating for transgender athletes. “Everyone deserves the right to play.

“Everyone deserves the right to come here, sit in these seats, and feel safe. And not feel like there’s the threat, or they can’t be who they are, or like it’s just all eyes on them.

“I think it’s a crime honestly to separate someone for any reason. So, I definitely will be speaking up against that legislation and those laws that are trying to be passed, for sure.”

When asked about how she stayed resilient during her time in the gulag she said:

“Just digging deep, honestly.

“I know this sounds so small, but, you know, dying in practice and hard workouts. You find a way to just grind it out. 

“Just put your head down and just keep moving forward. You know, you can never stand still.”

“It made me a little bit more comfortable,” she said of the support she received back home. 

“It made me a little bit, have hope, which is a really hard thing to have. 

“It’s a dangerous thing to have. 

“Because, you know, when it doesn’t work, it’s so crushing.”

“I think that’s a big reason why a lot of people go overseas. That’s why I was there,” she said of the low pay here. 

“As much as I’d love to pay my light bill for a love of the game, I can’t.”
