Don't blame the buffoon who harassed Brittney Griner. Blame the leadership of the WNBA. [View all]

Mike Freeman

I don't blame the buffoon who harassed Brittney Griner. This is what buffoons do. Buffoon gonna buffoon. And don't expect me to mention the name of the buffoon. He will get enough attention from the weirdos and trolls who make up the buffoon economy.

No, I don't blame the buffoon for Griner, who is an American hero and patriot, being harassed at an airport. I blame the WNBA who doesn't seem to get that WNBA players, all of them, need charter flights for their protection.

Video was posted of Griner and her teammates being followed and harassed at a Dallas airport on Saturday. Griner getting harassed was extremely predictable. The WNBA said in its statement that Griner is provided "charter flights for WNBA games and assigned security personnel with her at all times."

But what about other WNBA players? The harassing of Griner and her teammates highlights why charter flights are needed for WNBA teams, and it demonstrates why the WNBA has failed in protecting all of its players by not securing them.

Alex Stein is a garbage person, but all other sports leagues would protect their players from such garbage people
