WNBPA Shares Statement on Brittney Griner, Backs ‘We Are BG’ Petition

The Women’s National Basketball Players Association issued a petition urging people to sign it to help bring Brittany Griner home.

Saturday marks 100 days since the Mercury star has been “wrongfully detained” after Russian Federal Customs Service said they discovered vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage at Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow.

Several WNBA players tweeted the petition that states Griner is a “teammate”, “friend” and “sister.” The 144 players that make up the players association say that by working together, they can make a “world-changing moment” in getting Griner home.
