On Saturday, a YouTube influencer shouted questions at Brittney Griner while recording his ambush at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
The Phoenix Mercury adjusted their travel plans after All-Star player Brittney Griner was confronted by a"provocateur."
"No one should be a victim of targeted harassment," Phoenix Mercury Coach Vanessa Nygaard said in a briefing. She added that as a coach, she just wants her team to be safe. Phoenix Mercury Forward Brianna Turner called for player safety on Twitter, adding that the team"nervously huddled in a corner" after the incident.
Player safety while traveling should be at the forefront. People following with cameras saying wild remarks is never acceptable. Excessive harassment. Our team nervously huddled in a corner unsure how to move about. We demand better. The Women's National Basketball Association has been flying commercially since 1997. While NBA players travel in luxury private flights for games, WNBA players deal with flight delays and cancellations.
