The WNBA Players’ Association has released a statement on the Brittney Griner airport incident.
A “provocateur” confronted Griner and her teammates at the airport on Saturday. The man, Alex Stein, was loudly asking Griner about her thoughts on the United States, following her return from imprisonment in Russia.
The WNBA Players’ Association has released a statement.
“What BG and all of her PHX teammates experienced today was a calculated confrontation that left them feeling very unsafe. Everyone who was paying attention knew this would happen. We could have and should have been more proactive,” the statement reads.
Allowing teams to fly charter is ONLY about player health and safety, and until the league and teams take this issue seriously, situations like this will continue to occur.
Every commercial flight forced upon our players is a threat to their health and safety. We implore the league and the teams not to wait another day to change the rule regarding travel.”
