WNBA star Brittney Griner has headed back to Europe for the first time since her notorious Russian detainment in 2022, as part of Team USA’s 12-person roster for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

But that isn’t the only major news Griner is providing prior to these Olympics.

For polarizing superstar made waves in 2020 when she said, “I’m not going to be out there for the national anthem. If the (WNBA) continues to want to play it, that’s fine. It will be all season long, I’ll not be out there.

“I honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our season,” she added.

But an exclusive interview from the Associated Press showed that Griner has since backtracked on that controversial sentiment.

“It means everything to me honestly,” Griner said about playing for Team USA. “For me to now have the honor to wear it again and potentially win gold is icing on the cake for everything.”

“Hopefully, everything goes the way we want it to go and that anthem’s playing,” Griner said of the U.S. hoping to win an eighth straight gold medal in Paris. “It’s going to be way more emotional this time.”

Sounds like Griner’s stance on the National Anthem has completely changed since 2020.
