WNBA player Brittney Griner says she is “shocked” anyone would think she is unpatriotic despite the fact she spent years protesting against the country and refusing to stand for the national anthem.“Everyone has made a mistake before,” Griner said referring to her arrest, conviction, and incarceration in Russia on drug charges.
However, after spending nearly a year in a Russian prison, upon returning to the U.S.A. she changed her tune on the national anthem and in 2023 announced that going forward she would stand for the anthem because it “hit different” once she got her freedom back. “You have the right to protest, the right to able to speak out, question, challenge and do all these things,” Griner. “What I went through and everything, it just means a little bit more to me now. So I want to be able to stand. I was literally in a cage and could not stand the way I wanted to.”
