Phoenix Mercury make travel ‘adjustments’ following airport incident with Brittney Griner

quote:

One day after Mercury center Brittney Griner was confronted by a “provocateur” at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the two coaches and a handful of players suggested more charter flights could help prevent any future run-ins with outsiders.

“We will ensure that our players and our organization and our staff are safe,” she said. ”We will be making (travel) adjustments that maybe should have happened before, but right now we’re going to prioritize the safety of our players and we’ve seen that the organization has supported us.”


quote:

Nygaard echoed those comments during a 75-second pregame statement in which she offered support for Griner and concern about everyone who made the trip to Indy. She also said Phoenix already has adjusted its plans for future road trips though she declined to provide details, citing league policy and team safety protocols. The controversy stems from a 93-second video posted Sunday by Alex Stein, who was shouting at Griner. He questioned Griner on topics ranging from whether she hated America to whether the trade for a Russian prisoner was a fair deal to obtain her release from Russia. Griner was released in December after being detained in Russia for nearly 10 months on drug charges.


My feels were hurted!

So special considerations will be made for her due to her own f up? We all know the wnba is not a profitable organization so probably time to make a cash-call to the NBA

She's black, gay and female. That's like a super hero to progs.

This is what this is really about. They want all of the NBA perks without making any money as a league.

WNBA can't afford charter flights. Who do they think they are kidding?

I watched the video. The only person breaking any laws was the short, fat, M'effer putting his hands all over the guy asking the questions. He was assaulted multiple times.

I'm sure the team isn't complaining about flying charter but it is what it is.

I'd feel hollow AF if I had a job that didn't create any value.

Being heckled doesn't mean she's unsafe. I guess when other athletes get heckled they're going to get a private jet huh?
