The Mercury released a statement saying the team will be working with the league on next steps. “Everyone who was paying attention knew this would happen.” “What BG and all of her PHX teammates experienced today was a calculated confrontation that left them feeling very unsafe,” the WNBPA statement reads. The WNBA players’ union issued a statement Saturday, saying the situation at the airport makes it “quite clear that the matter of charter travel is NOT a ‘competitive advantage’ issue.” It’s past time for charters and enhanced security measures for all players.” We cannot celebrate these women and their leadership without also protecting them. And today’s incident is a clear reminder of that. In doing that, they also become targets for hate, threats and violence. “They are celebrated for the ways their activism inspires positive change. “Brittney Griner and the WNBA players are leaders who inspire hope for a better, more inclusive and less divided America,” Kagawa Colas said. Griner’s agent, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, said on social media, after the incident, that she feels that all teams need to charter flights. Still, Saturday’s incident left many calling for change in flights for the Mercury and teams around the league. This past week, she played two games in her home state of Texas and the team was headed to Indianapolis to face the Fever on Sunday. Griner has been warmly received by crowds at home in Phoenix and on the road. Our Campaign stands with Brittney, her teammates, and the Phoenix Mercury,” the organization said.
“Accosting a recently returned hostage like this is unacceptable, and we urge social media companies to prohibit the monetization of any resulting content. The Bring Our Families Home Campaign, an advocacy group that works to bring home Americans who are held hostage or detained in foreign countries, issued a statement condemning the incident. We demand better.”Ī Twitter user posted a video that appears to show a part of the confrontation where the individual asks questions of Griner about “why she hates America?”

“Our team nervously huddled in a corner unsure how to move about. Mercury player Brianna Turner said in a tweet people at the airport followed the team with cameras “saying wild remarks.” “We remain steadfastly committed to the highest standards of security for players.” “Prior to the season, the WNBA worked together with the Phoenix Mercury and BG’s team to ensure her safety during her travel, which included charter flights for WNBA games and assigned security personnel with her at all times,” the league’s statement reads. The league typically doesn’t allow teams to charter plane because it could create a competitive advantage for teams who can afford to pay for them. WNBA teams have flown commercially during the regular season since the league’s inception in 1997. The league granted Griner permission to book her own charter flights. The thought was that the highly publicized case compromised her and others’ safety.
