Now we aren't here to talk numbers, but they will help you see the big picture that is going on when it comes to the return of Brittney Griner. Thanks to https://www.spotrac.com/wnba/phoenix-mercury/brittney-griner-29940/ I was able to get a full understanding of how much she is worth and open the question to why she was the only player left from the WNBA in Russia. Granted she was allegedly detained for carrying an unknown amount of cartridges filled with "hashish oil". But this woman just signed a contract on February 14, 2022, in the amount of $664,544.00 American dollars. In comparison to the $500,000 that an average player can gross as a player for the WNBA in Russia. Now Brittney Griner is far from average solely based on the fact that she was the #1 first-round draft pick back in 2013. Not to mention she is a 2 time Olympic gold medallist.
But here we are a whole 30 days later and according to https://www.tmz.com/2022/03/16/u-s-congressman-brittney-griner-ok-hopeful-she-doesnt-become-putin-pawn/ Brittney Griner is considered to be "missing". If someone could explain to me logically how an individual can disappear while under custody in a war zone I'm here for the whole conversation. But at this point, the only thing that can be asked for is a safe return as soon as possible. It's not fair to her family or the communities that care for her life to be lost over a senseless act that she has nothing to do with. We're sending nothing but prayers of peace and strength for you and your family Brittney Griner.
