Hmm . . .
Brittney Griner will stand for the national anthem this season after spending nearly 10 months locked in a Russian cage.
Griner — an advocate of “speaking out, standing up, sitting in, taking a knee” — had a sudden change of heart, claims her agent in a TIMES op-ed.
The article says Griner views the anthem differently since Joe Biden exchanged a Russian arms dealer, named Viktor Bout, for her return to the United States.
“Hearing the national anthem, it definitely hit different [sic],” says Griner.
“‘It’s like when you go for the Olympics, you’re sitting there, about to get gold put on your neck, the flags are going up … being here today… it means a lot.'”
Brittney Griner will stand for the anthem Friday night in her WNBA return against the Sparks.
