Glad she made it back home….

[@Joerideabike]

Jeez, so many people wanting to hate on somebody. Just listen to the words, look at the calm demeanor. Yes you may be confused, by the depth of voice, but that is not the issue. This person has gone through a lot, is admitting fault, and was the victim of Regime wanting to exploit an American citizen. I hear a person happy to be home with her partner and family. Jeez, so many sit-at-home haters; jeez. 3:42

[@troydanielboy]

An amazingly strong and beautiful human who has endured so much. I certainly don't believe that I would have survived this and still been able to be interviewed intelligently. Nothing but peace now, nothing but peace. Kudos to our modern day SuperHero.

What's crazy is that Griner is treated worse by her own countrymen than she ever was in Russia.

[@jddII]

Truly. I may not have agreed with what she did but I’m glad she is home.

[@MrAl158]

Treated worse? She got traded for a literal war criminal and here she is on mainstream TV having her book promoted. You call that worse? How good is your life Mr. Steinberg?

There seems to be something making the person’s voice sound masculine, unless the person is actually a man.

Brittany Greiner is 6’9” tall, so her voice box is in the same scale, just like a small child with a small voice box has a high voice, a person who is 6’9” has a large voice box creating a lower voice.

What’s “exclusive” about this interview? Griner is doing the rounds of all sorts of media to promote her book.

[@winstonsmith6607]

It's pretty sick to get the Merchant of Death released and then exploit all of this with a book. I was gonna check and see if she's donating all the proceeds to a charity (perhaps victims of gunviolence or something like that), but I don't think I'll waste my time. I already know the answer.

"She"? LOL

[@greeneyedlady5580]

Are you capable of comprehending that the arms dealer had already served most of his sentence, and was going to be freed from prescription in a few years anyway? If we made him serve out the rest of his sentence, then the US would have gotten nothing at all for him. The value of him for a trade was decreasing every year. It made sense to trade that POS now, and get back a 2 time Olympic gold medal winner and WNBA star.

[@bullcrap9409]

Exactly. Stupid athlete in return for an evil arms dealer.

Woman don’t all have high voices. Men don’t all have deep voices.

[@lesliehohenfeld1]

She is 6’9” so her voice box is larger and in scale with her frame. Go watch some great women’s basketball, and stay for the interviews, just like men, the taller the women are the deeper their voice is because the voice box is in scale with their frame.

[@chipdouglaschipdouglas]

I mean no disrespect towards this accomplished basketball player. Was Britney Griner born a male or female? I only ask because she has a manly voice who stands at 6' 9".

Male...just google it and click images

She was born a female. She's a cis gender woman, who was gifted with unusual height and extraordinary skill at basketball.

🤫 Do you want to know the real reason WNBA players believe they should get paid as much as NBA players. 🧐 Women's Collegiate/WNBA players have trained a lot of NBA players over the past two decades. ♟️✌️ NBA players that like to run through a defender, euro-american step, the wrong hand layup, and the 3. oops 🤣 Transition of Authority, not power.
