Newfound Gratitude: Brittney Griner Cries During National Anthem at Olympics – (VIDEO)
Guest Post by Miriam Judith
Nothing makes you appreciate American freedom more than being locked away in a foreign prison for nearly a year.
Case in point Brittany Griner.
The formerly outspoken critic of the national anthem was seen with sentimental tears streaming down as the Star Spangled Banner was played during the medal ceremony at the Olympics.
In 2022, Griner spent almost 10 months in a Russian prison after being arrested for drug charges. The WNBA star was set to serve a 9-year sentence until being released during a prisoner exchange between the U.S. and Russia where a high-profile Russian arms dealer was traded in return.
