The Mercury star was recorded and berated with questions by conservative vlogger Alex Stein.
“The safety of Brittney Griner and all WNBA players is our top priority,” the WNBA said in a statement. “Prior to the season, the WNBA worked together with the Phoenix Mercury and BG’s team to ensure her safety during her travel, which included charter flights for WNBA games and assigned security personnel with her at all times. We remain committed to the highest standards of security for players.”Brittney Griner was detained for 10 months in Russia.
“The safety of everyone comes first,” Tarausi said. “You know basketball is secondary to all that. People have families, kids. To be put in that situation really is disrespectful, to not only BG, but to our team, to the league.”“I would say yesterday was a huge disappointment,” Turner said. “I don’t blame the league. Obviously, no one could have predicted this. But at the same time, I think more measures could have been in place.
