Haunting 4 Word Message From Brittney Griner Troubles Wife and Supporters

The Brittney Griner saga has been going on for a long time now. A tremendous wave of awareness and support has been raised for the WNBA superstar since her arrest back in February this year. Many NBA and WNBA athletes, and other sporting icons have voiced their support for Griner in the past, demanding for her to be released soon.

Recently Cherelle Griner, wife of Brittney Griner, spoke about Brittney’s situation, following her recent appeal getting denied by a Russian court. The rejection means that she may have to now serve out her nine-year sentence in Russia. But a few words said by Brittney to her wife over the phone made her more terrified than anything else.

The WNBA champion also has two Olympic gold medals to her name. She used to spend the WNBA off-season in Russia while playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg. She?earned around $1.5 million just from playing in Russia, and this increased pay structure is what attracts several WNBA to ply their trade abroad.
