Rapinoe had the initial’s BG and a rose stitched on her jacket for the occasion. Her fiance, the basketball star Sue Bird, was wearing a “WE ARE BG” pin. 

Last month there was a large Free Brittney rally in Houston. And BG will be front-and-center at Sunday’s WNBA All-Star game.

Griner is an honorary starter for her eighth All-Star selection. And she will be notably absent and missed by her fans and friends.

“Obviously she’s part of our family and our No. 1 priority is getting her home,” All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale said. “She shouldn’t be there. She’s been there too long. So obviously we’re going to talk about her any chance we get.”

“We talk about ‘We are BG’ and what that means to us,” All-Star guard Skylar Diggins-Smith explains. “Just trying to embody her spirit, carry her legacy on, and just stay alert for her as far as what we can do in our efforts to help bring her home and really get that message out there.”

Admission of guilt doesn’t mean she’s guilty

A Russian law expert says that an admission of guilt is not the same as a guilty plea in the US.
