Police report details Brittney Griner incident at Dallas airport



A YouTube personality tried to push his way through Phoenix Mercury security personnel to get to Brittney Griner while she and the team were at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Saturday morning, according to a police report obtained by ESPN on Monday. Alex Stein, whom the WNBA described as a "provocateur," approached Griner while team members were walking on a concourse to catch a flight to Indiana for a Sunday tipoff following two games against the Dallas Wings.Officers were dispatched at approximately 9:38 a.m. The security guard told officers that Stein "seemed aggressive and made some inappropriate comments" to Griner, the report stated. While the passenger never got physical with Griner, the Mercury security guard told officers the man was physical with him, but that he did not want to press charges.

Brittney Griner stars for U.S. in exhibition game at Tennessee


Fans of the Tennessee Lady Vols never forget where someone played in college, especially not a player that beat their beloved team. On Sunday night, they roared when Brittney Griner was introduced as a starter for the U.S. women's national team before an exhibition. The only other player to come close to a similar ovation was five-time Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi despite her playing in college at UConn, the biggest rival for the No. 11 Lady Vols. Sunday night marked Griner's first time playing a game with "USA" on the front of her jersey since celebrating winning her second Olympic gold medal in August 2021 at the Tokyo Games.

Griner was arrested in February 2022 at a Moscow airport when customs officials said they found vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage. She was convicted and sentenced to nine years in prison in August before being released in December as part of a prisoner exchange. Griner wasn't available to reporters after the U.S. beat Tennessee 95-59. She made clear Friday how happy she is to be representing her country once again. She said she had a bit of a moment Thursday night realizing that she was back with the national team and putting on that "USA" jersey again.

Subject: Cease and Desist - Disruptive Behavior


Dear Charles (@blackfoot NAP ; @C-40)

I am writing to address the persistent and disruptive activities that have become synonymous with your presence at TROLL KINGDOM. Your continuous posting of articles without any meaningful engagement, the incessant updating of threads with copied content, and the blatant use of "sock" accounts to manipulate post interactions, are detrimental to the community.

This letter serves as an explicit demand for the immediate cessation of these disruptive behaviors. TROLL KINGDOM is a space intended for substantive and meaningful discussions; your actions are not only counterproductive but actively detrimental to the community's atmosphere.

Your current online conduct reflects poorly on your own character and undermines the quality of interaction for genuine members seeking valuable discourse. It is evident that your approach deviates from the communal spirit TROLL KINGDOM strives to uphold.

I strongly urge you to reconsider your online conduct and recalibrate your approach to align with the ethos of TROLL KINGDOM. Failure to comply with this demand will leave me with no option but to escalate the matter further.

I trust that you will take this communication seriously and act promptly to rectify your online behavior.


Sincerely,
