Brittney Griner plays in first game since detainment, says hearing national anthem 'definitely hit different'

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Well, well, maybe she did learn just a little something from her experience after all.

"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.

"Being here today ... it means a lot."

In July 2020, as social justice protests were occurring around the country, Griner said she didn't feel that the anthem should be played during the season, adding that she didn't mean any "disrespect to our country."

Digging turnips for your supper will do that.

I'm surprised that Ms. Griner is playing at all.

You would think that with her massive boost in publicity over her adventures in the Russian Federation, she'd be working on commercials, a TV movie and an episode of "Locked up Abroad". Those kinds of projects would seem to pay a lot more than girls' basketball, I would think anyhow.

Maybe ALL woke, lefty loons should be sent to Russia for a few months, so they can get a real feel of why America should be treasured instead of trampled under foot.

We should have let Putin keep the useless freak.

So is this Griner's convoluted way of saying that she doesn't hate America as much as she used to? ...

Sorry bout that,

1. Get real, it's a dude.
2. Be smarter, demand the truth.
3. I do truth as a birth right, you should too!
