Ever since Brittney Griner was released from Russia in a prisoner swap, there have been a whole lot of speculations surrounding the Phoenix Mercury star. The netizens have a tonne of questions. Questions about her release from the Russian prison to whether she deserves to be back home after what she said about the US’s national anthem. While some are raising eyebrows over her sexuality, to other bizarre questions regarding the WNBA star.
The 8x All-Star was one of the first woman sportspersons to come out openly about her sexuality. She has expressed her sexuality openly, coming out as the first Lesbian WNBA player. Griner has also been a strong advocate for the LGBTQ community. While she was in the process of her release, photographers didn’t miss out on any opportunity to get a photo of the WNBA star.
A photo of Brittney Griner where she is being escorted by a female officer is doing rounds on the internet. The same photo was shamelessly edited by someone by adding a beard on her face to further ridicule the WNBA star. Fans have continued their disrespect towards the WNBA star by claiming she was born a man. This is not the kind of thing that should be questioned. You can express your feelings about the decision to bring back the basketball sensation instead of a Marine, but this certainly crosses the line.
Fans raise eyebrows at Brittney Griner’s sexuality in a disappointing act
With the release of Brittney Griner, it was no surprise that a lot of questions arose. Questions were raised about her professional life, personal life, and her past with domestic abuse. However, the photoshopped image doing the rounds on the internet has shocked the NBA community.
Some are even taking advantage of that by spreading false information about the WNBA star, while others have been brave enough to stand up for the 8x All-Star Brittney Griner.
Why do people want Britt to be a female so bad they’ll argue to the end of earth for him ? It’s a damn guy. Good lord. 🙄 No wonder America is so lost.

Just a PSA on trolls, I check my new followers. One this morning had a feed of nonstop lies and hate against Democrats & Biden. And personal attacks on Brittney Griner including a photoshopped picture of her with a beard.
Fortunately the block button still works.

It is one thing to be angry that a professional basketball player was brought home and not a former U.S. Marine. Protests were made when Brittney was released and not Whelan. An agreement was reached with the Russian authorities on who should be brought home according to reports. However, it is completely unethical, and out of the topic to raise questions about her personal life and make these ugly remarks.
