Everyone made the same observation after WNBA star center Brittney Griner revealed her national anthem decision.
Griner, who is representing the United States women’s basketball team at the Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France, will stand this month when the anthem plays before games at the event.
The Phoenix Mercury star expressed as much in an interview with the Associated Press, expressing how happy she is to have the opportunity to wear the Team USA jersey following her harrowing ordeal in a Russian prison.
“It means everything to me honestly,” she told the publication. “For me to now have the honor to wear it again and potentially win gold is icing on the cake for everything.”
