曾在2020年BLM运动中公开反对赛前奏美国国歌并下跪的Brittney Griner今天在美国女篮夺冠后的升旗仪式上泪流满面。

Griner自从被俄罗斯释放后对美国国歌的态度就发生了改变，去年接受采访时就表示："One thing that's good about this country is our right to protest. You have a right to be able to speak out, question, to challenge, and do all these things. (After) what I went through, it just means a little bit more to me now. I was literally in a cage and could not stand the way I wanted to ... and a lot of other situations. Just being able to hear my national anthem, see my flag, I definitely wanted to stand."
