Sue Bird (S10Bird) on Brittney Griner: 'BG spent 10 months in Russian prison, wrongfully detained, but never lost hope, or her sense of humor. She was BG, through and through, throughout her horrible ordeal' TIME100
rittney Griner’s story represents so much. First off, it’s about resilience. BG spent nearly 10 months in Russian prison,, but never lost hope or her sense of humor. She was BG, through and through, throughout her horrible ordeal.
But underneath this story of inner strength is so much more. BG’s wrongful detainment brought attention to issues like the inequities in pay for women athletes, which sometimes compel us to put ourselves in dangerous situations to maximize our financial worth. It brought to light the dozens of Americans wrongfully detained around the world, and BG continues to use her platform as a sports superstar to advocate for their release.
