"Last year, most WNBA teams chose to remain in their locker rooms during the national anthem, in a gesture of unified protest against the incongruity between the values the anthem signifies and the realities for Black people in America," Lindsay Kagawa Colas wrote. "This year, as so much remains unchanged, some teams or players may do the same. Others may sit or kneel. Still others, including Brittney Griner, plan to stand up — physically for the anthem itself and symbolically for the rights of their peers to make themselves heard and express dissent loudly and boldly, and in accordance with the proudest traditions of this country, however they see fit."


Kagawa Colas explained that Griner will make a statement on "American freedoms" by standing for the anthem.


"Having been put in a literal cage, too small for her frame, stripped of her essential American freedoms, and deprived of even her most basic rights during a sham trial and unjust sentencing, Brittney, supported by many other players, will make a statement this WNBA season by standing tall for those uniquely American freedoms — the most important of which being the absolute and inviolable and constitutionally protected freedom to stand, sit, kneel, praise, protest, and otherwise make your voice heard," Kagawa Colas continued

Maga ppl don't understand the entire situation. All they see is simple minded logic 'America - Kneel - Lesbian - Black = BAD' fuck those jokers.

She WAS more American than any of these Maga people combined. Until now.

Adorable

Good for her. Seriously.

You okay bro? Griner still a bitch and the world revolves.

I'm fine, pal. It's unlikely anyone on this site is calling Agent Griner a bitch without losing teeth. There's also no evidence that Agent Griner was mistreated in her Russian prison. All evidence points to the contrary. She looked healthier than ever, and she got enough hormone pills to sound like Barry White.
