After nearly two years, WNBA star Brittney Griner returned to the basketball court with the Phoenix Mercury Saturday and played competitively for the first time since being detained in Russia. She brought with her a newfound appreciation for the national anthem.
The seven-time All-Star said hearing the national anthem before her game on Saturday felt “different” after spending 10 months in a Russian prison. Griner arrived home to the United States in December after the U.S. and Russia agreed to a prisoner swap involving Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer, and Griner, per Deseret News.
“Hearing the national anthem, it definitely hit different,” Griner said, per the New York Post. “It’s like when you go for the Olympics, you’re sitting there, about to get gold put on your neck, the flags are going up, and the anthem is playing, it just hits different.”

She learned the hard way.
Is it opportunistic lip service? Or is it genuine. Leftists will say anything to further the narrative and revolution.
He now learned the hard way that America is not such a bad place after all.
He got to experience a world without America.
Unfortunately soldier that was left behind also learned the hard way. His government doesn’t give a s*** about him.
She’s been mugged by reality but will not become conservative. Maybe at least not anti-American though.
Mugged by the real world. And she learned from it.
I’ve got to ask, is Griner a guy? Serious question, for anyone who has seen the topless hoop shooting video by the pool.
That’s a man, baby!
Oh, no. Those are totally boobs.
Haven’t you seen boobs before?
Everyone who knows agrees that those are boobs.
He’s a man just like Dylan Muvaney.
Gee, that’s ALL it took, huh? /sarc
As a woman who has seen hundreds of women, as well as myself, in various stages of undress at gym or a changing room, I have NEVER seen ANY woman with a concave chest like that. I have, however, seen many young men and older men with the same chest.
Have you heard “her”speak?
Nothing like 9 months in a Russian gulag to make you love the flag. 😏
Tell that dude to STFU
It is unbelievable how ignorant and obtuse some people can be. Democrats in particular.
if genuine, then good for her=- hope her eyes become opened to other lies she has been told and believes too!
Griner is born XX, and remains XX.
SHE is not a he.
