Brittney Griner's legal team released a statement Thursday on the WNBA superstar's guilty plea in Russia. She 'decided to take full responsibility for her actions.'
Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner shoots during the first half of Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the Chicago Sky Oct. 10, 2021, in Phoenix.. It was her decision informed by discussion with her legal defense team in Russia," her legal team said."Brittney sets an example of being brave. She decided to take full responsibility for her actions as she knows that she is a role model for many people.
Kagawa Colas said."BG’s service as an Olympian and global sport ambassador, caring for those most in need, has always distinguished her; but BG is also a human being whose family misses her. She deserves our compassion, understanding, love and support." "We are so grateful to @POTUS and @VP for the time they spent with Cherelle confirming their commitment to bring BG and all Americans home and hope that out of respect for the sanctity of sport internationally, BG can return home as soon as possible."
WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert added:"Brittney Griner remains wrongfully detained in Russia and nothing that happened today changes that 140 days later. The WNBA continues to work diligently with the U.S. State Department, the White House and other allies in and outside government to get Brittney home safely and as soon as possible.
