Brittney Griner sheds tears during national anthem after US women win gold

Brittney Griner once suggested that the WNBA shouldn't play the national anthem. She also walked off the court before the anthem was played during a 2020 game.

But Griner spent nearly 10 months in prison in Russia after being arrested on drug charges in February 2022. She was released in a prisoner exchange after serving time in a gulag.

Since his return, Griner appears to have softened his stance on the anthem's meaning.
