Brittney Griner, a 10 times there of the WNBA, did not show up for a commitment to speak to be reserved on the outskirts of Washington, DC
The decision of Atlanta Dream Center arose from a note that he discovered near the entrance of his hotel room in the national port, Maryland. Griner planned to speak at the Grow Women’s Leadership Summit on February 17. But, the organizers of the event informed the attendees that Griner took out after seeing “threatening objects and words” outside their hotel room.

The grade in question contained the words “Baby gay jail,” said Wusa 9. Words seemed to be written in a piece of adhesive tape.
The Prince George County Police Department confirmed the launch of an investigation at the National Convention Center of Gaylord National Resort, the conference site.

“Detectives have learned the phrase ‘Baby Gay Prison’ is commonly used as a video game reference,” said a police statement obtained by TMZ Sports. “At the time the tape was, a great convention was being held in The Gaylord that attracts thousands of people, many interested in anime and video game enthusiasts. At this time, detectives have not discovered No link or threat against the guest who located the tape. “

Women Grow is an organization that brings together women with the aim of promoting leadership within the cannabis industry. The executive director of Women Grow, Dr. Chanda Macias, told Wusa9 that the hotel staff said the message was a cruel joke that left a previous guest, which was not finally eliminated by cleaning.
“I don’t know what their protocols are, but I don’t know why the rooms would not be cleaned,” Macias said.
The researchers added that “the detectives are working to determine who placed the piece of tape, when it was done and the intention behind it.”
It is believed that a 2013 interview with Sports Illustrated has marked the first time Griner discussed his sexuality. During the interview, Griner was asked about the differences in public acceptance, since he related to male athletes against female athletes that reveal their sexuality.

“I really couldn’t give an answer about why it’s so different,” Griner told The Outlet at that time. “Being one who is out, it’s just being who you are. Again, as I said, I just know who you are.” Griner added that he did not prioritize what others thought of his personal life.
“Do not worry about what other people are going to say, because they will always say something, but, if you are faithful to yourself, let that shine. Do not hide who you really are.” She said.
Griner, a twice defensive player of the WNBA year, has been married to Cherelle Griner, since 2019. The couple welcomed their first child together in July 2024.
Griner spent the first 11 seasons of his career in the WNBA with the Phoenix Mercury. She signed a contract with the dream in January.
