Sports World Reacts To Brittney Griner's Announcement Thursday
The Spun ^ | Apr 26, 2023 | KAMERON DUNCAN

Posted on 04/27/2023 10:37:04 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

Brittney Griner addressed the media for the first time since her return to the United States on Thursday. The seven-time WNBA All-Star spoke on her experience after being detained in a Russian penal colony for 10 months last year.

She also made a very important announcement.

Griner said that - barring playing for the United States in the Olympics - she would not go overseas to play basketball again, as she had done in Russia before being detained......

Brittney Griner on whether she plans to go overseas to play basketball in the future:

“I’m never going overseas to play again unless I’m representing my country at the Olympics.”

Maybe she'll be proud of her country now. Good thing she specified the United States to avoid any confusion.

Mexico isn’t overseas. He might decide to play for the Mexican national team.

Understandable. Brit learned the hard way that: (1) she can’t get her drugs through customs in other countries; and (2) those countries don’t necessarily coddle stoners like we do here in the good ol’ U.S. of A. She won’t make these mistakes again.

One presumes he will “come out” as a trans (i.e. fake) woman, now that the coast is clear. It appears that he’s been stealing a woman’s roster spot for over a decade now, without proper recognition.

“I’m never going overseas to play again”...

But she’s still a “citizen of the world”, right?

Remember when the speculation was going around that Michelle Obama was trans? Well on this Griner, she is supposed to be a female lesbian playing basketball correct? Really an honest question, this trans gay stuff often confuses me. Anyway there are some solid pictures out there that show she is actually a GUY who is still so or has made the transition. Look carefully there is no sign of mastectomy scars…at all. I can’t believe how far this country has fallen…and it’s happened so FAST. In under 10 years we have declined tremendously.
