WNBA球星Brittney Griner已经被俄罗斯拘留超过4个月了,但没有NBA球员或球队为其发声。
一开始是美国政府的要求,两个联盟高层与球队一齐缄默,因为他们认为这样有助于带回Griner
但随着美国各地开始游行,目前还没有NBA球星公开参与支持活动。
懒人包
Grindr是WNBA球星,而WNBA是NBA创建的子联盟,至今NBA还是有一半WNBA的股份。
因为WNBA长期的低薪(最高薪为20万美金),导致球星需要去俄罗斯、中国或是土耳其打工(WNBA的球季刚好与以上三者错开)以赚取超过10倍于美国本土的薪水
而Griner为俄罗斯女篮效率的时候,被俄罗斯当局因为持有毒品被逮捕。
而Griner已经认罪,根据当地法律。可能面临超过10年的有期徒刑。

但完整的节目有收录完整的谈话
争议预告内容
James: "I was trying to imagine it and it's hard for me to even put myself into what she's going through. Like she's such a great human being. A great person. Obviously, I've been in her presence a few times. You always feel like, you know, if you're from a certain place, you always feel like they've got your back. And, in a sense, now, how could she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, 'Do I even want to go back to America?' If I've been gone for over 130 days. And I felt like it's
been zero effort."
身为国民,你总会觉得你的国家是你的后盾。
但现在?他怎么会觉得美国现在还是她的后盾?如果我已经130天没有办法归国,我觉得这就像完全无用的努力。

Johnson: "I'm still shocked that we haven't heard more from the State Department and that we're not hearing this more often on the news or Biden. This is a significant kind of name in American sports. I know when it first happened, there was some concern, kinda like 'Could this resolve itself?' Maybe being too vocal actually cause more of a problem for her, but now I think we're recognizing that it's important for us to amplify our voices, to make sure that people know about the situation."
我依然震惊,我们没有从政府或拜登口中听到更多消息。这是美国体坛最重要的事情。我们一开始认为过于推波无助于事态好转,但我现在认为是时候让人们知道更多了,发出我们的声音至关重要。
James: "Literally, as it's going on day by day, I can't not say anything and just try to get more people's ears, people's eyes and as much support as possible."
正如你所说,一天一天过去(却没有进展)我不能再继续不作为,只能倾力让人们听到这些,与看到这些。
