Brittney Griner plays in first game since detainment, says hearing national anthem 'definitely hit different'
Griner spent nearly 10 months in a Russian prison

By Joe Morgan | Fox News

Seven-time WNBA All-Star Britney Griner returned to game action on Friday for the first time since being arrested in February 2022 at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport after authorities discovered vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage.

Griner spent nearly 10 months in a Russian prison after she pleaded guilty to drug charges, and she returned to the United States in December after a prisoner exchange.

On Friday night, Griner played in her first competitive game since the 2021 WNBA Finals, scoring 10 points for the Phoenix Mercury in a preseason game against the Los Angeles Sparks.

It was the Mercury's final preseason game before the regular season opener on Friday.

Prior to the tip, Griner and her teammates stood for the national anthem, and the No. 1 pick of the 2013 WNBA Draft received a loud ovation from the home crowd as she was introduced.

"Hearing the national anthem, it definitely hit different," Griner said. "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.

For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16

With a voice that low you'd think she uses a 3 legged stool.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Remember what Russia got in return for a basketball player?

“Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer dubbed ‘Merchant of Death,’ walked out of a U.S. jail in a trade w/ Moscow for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner. Now he is back in business, trying to broker the sale of small arms to Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis.”
