Brittney Griner’s Coach : “If This Was LeBron James He'd Be Home, Right?” 😱Faces 10 Years In Prison?
Brittney Griner’s coach lashed out at the star player’s ongoing incarceration in Russia.
Speaking with reporters on Monday, Vanessa Nygaard, head coach of the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, posited that Griner would be back in the US by now if she were NBA superstar LeBron James.
“If it was LeBron, he’d be home, right?” Nygaard asked. “It’s a statement about the value of women. It’s a statement about the value of a black person. It’s a statement about the value of a gay person. All of those things. We know it, and so that’s what hurts a little more.”
Griner has been jailed in Russia since she was arrested at the airport in mid-February and accused of possessing cannabis vape cartridges. In May, the U.S. government determined that she is being wrongfully detained.
Monday, Griner wrote an open letter to President Joe Biden, urging him to take action to secure the release of herself and other American prisoners in Russia.
“Please do all you can to bring us home,” Griner wrote. “I voted for the first time in 2020 and I voted for you. I believe in you.
