Brittney Griner Is Leaving The United States: ‘If You Don’t Respect Me, You’ll Lose Your TALENT

You’ll Lose Your TALENT

“I have no plans on going out of the country right now,” says Griner, 33. “Even coming to New York [from Phoenix] was hard. I kind of broke the first time I came back [to New York] because it’s the last place I was before I left.” (Griner had a layover at John F. Kennedy airport in Feb. 2022 before flying to Moscow, where she was arrested.)

 

 

<p>Miguel A. Negron/US Army</p> Brittney Griner steps back onto U.S. soil in San Antonio on Dec. 9, 2022 after 293 days.

 

 

 

“In the hotel, I was just pacing, kind of frantic. It’s better now — way better now.”

Before her imprisonment “But pro women hoopers often work year-round. We earn about 250 times less than NBA players and have a hard cap on our salaries. In the WNBA that year I made around $220,000. Overseas, I earned a million plus. That pay gap is why I was in Russia in the first place.”

 

Tired of missing home, holidays Griner had already decided — before her Feb. 2, 2022 arrest at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport for possession of two vape pens containing a combined 0.7 grams of hash oil — that it would be her final season with UMMC Ekaterinburg of the Russian Premier League. But since her return in December 2022, the idea of international travel has been a source of anxiety.“My wife and I [used to enjoy going] down to Mexico for a bit,” says Griner, “But now I’m just like, ‘Nah, I can’t do it.’ We can go to a beach in America. There’s plenty of beaches here. There were countries I wanted to visit before, but [not] now.”
