The remarks come amid a turbulent period for Griner, who was detained in Russia for several months in 2022 before being released in a high-profile prisoner exchange. Griner, a prominent WNBA player and Olympic gold medalist, has faced significant challenges and scrutiny following her return to the U.S. and her ongoing efforts to resume her professional career.
Mulkey’s call for Griner’s removal has sparked a wide range of reactions. Supporters of Griner argue that her experiences abroad and her subsequent return to the U.S. should not disqualify her from representing the country. “Brittney Griner endured a harrowing situation and deserves our support, not criticism,” said one advocate. “Her contributions to the sport and her resilience should be recognized, not used as a reason to push her away.”
