"WNBA star Brittney Griner and her fiance arrested for domestic violence"


          

http://espn.go.com/wnba/story/_/id/12747571/brittney-griner-phoenix-mercury-arrested-assault-disorderly-conduct


GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner and her fiancee, fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson, were arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct after an argument in the home they recently purchased together became physical.

The two 24-year-olds were each arrested Wednesday on counts of assault by recklessly causing physical injuries and disorderly conduct for fighting. They were booked into the Maricopa County Jail in downtown Phoenix and later released.

An attorney for Griner said "the last few months have been an extremely stressful time for Brittney and Glory."

"They will continue to work through these hardships together and ask that the media respect their privacy as they handle this family matter," David Michael Cantor said in a statement released to the media. "Glory and Brittney sincerely apologize for the distraction this has caused their families, respective teams, the WNBA, sponsors and fans."

Griner told police that she and Johnson had been arguing every day and got into each other's faces Wednesday afternoon in the home they had bought two days earlier after Johnson said Griner "disrespected" her, according to a police report.

Johnson told police Griner had gotten too close, so she pushed her back to get some separation and began talking to her sister, Judy Johnson, when she was pushed in the back of the head by Griner. Glory Johnson turned around and the physical altercation began, with both fighting on the floor for 4 to 6 minutes. The entire episode lasted about 20 minutes, according to the report.

Griner had a laceration on her right wrist and a tooth mark on the middle finger of her right hand after it ended up in Johnson's mouth, according to the police report.

Johnson, who plays for the Tulsa Shock, had a cut on her lip and Julio Trejo, a friend of Griner's, had a cut on his neck after trying to break up the fight. All three declined medical attention.

Griner also said she broke a dog bowl after throwing it against a wall during the argument.

Griner told police the fight was caused by weeks of stress, including buying a house, planning a wedding and their relationship. The pair announced their engagement late last summer and expected to get married next month.

The WNBA and the teams said in statements that they were looking into the situation and did not comment further.


so... how does ESPN treat this? What will Stephen A. say about it? Fines and suspensions or act like nothing happened?

Can we have an honest discussion about the violence that goes on in lesbian relationships? That shit is REAL. I watched a bartender fight her girlfriend while she was on the clock. I know a good 3 or 4 more who talked about being in abusive relationships.

CIAA a few years back a fine woman was eyeing me down while in the passenger seat, her GF was driving and turned to her and screamed "bitch, turn your head around or I will punch you in your fucking face"

But it happens in the NFL and people are crying about it non-stop.

The Lesbians in the WNBA are always in some domestic violence.

Why would the WNBA need to make billions of dollars when the NBA seem all too happy to keep subsidizing it?

Usually two black chicks- sometimes white. Just had a co-worker go thorough some crazy lesbian marriage and insta divorce recently. Not sure how combining that much estrogen is a good thing (I could say the same for testosterone as well).

They're not touching this with a 10 foot pole. It's easier to make incredulous statements about African-Americans on First Take than it is to confront this issue. Stephen A and Skip are smart to avoid this topic.

It's easier to discuss domestic violence in general terms than it is to speak on it in a specific context. Is America ready to face this issue head on?

That shouldn't be the case, obviously.

I've never heard about it being a common problem. Gimme the scoop.

she said the locker room culture was a gauntlet...

players screaming from across the room.. "yeah, I'm gonna get me some of that"

straight full court press trying to turn her out.

not sure if she was THAT good but she was built like it.

Are for lesbian couples. I forget how we got on that convo, but yeah... He told me that a lot of squabbles they get called out on were for lesbians.

Tow truck driver also told me his cousin is a cop out in either Gilbert or Mesa, AZ. Told him the same shit, lotta them relationships are volatile as hell.

I did see a "stud"/"butch"/whatever the PC term is these days get into it with her woman at a Walmart. Snatched her up and started yelling shaking the shit outta her for something. Chick's voice was so deep people started thinking it was a dude at first and started to intervene but when they realized it was two women they kinda just walked away and watched it unfold.

10. "Mutual DV? Seems kinda weird. *resumes giving zero fucks*"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The WNBA is still a thing? Does it make any money or still need to be subsidized heavily? I resent that they put the ABL out of business, not that I cared too too much about that either.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

If you don't think this is significant enough outrage, though, maybe you can help increase to what you think is an acceptable level.

55. "the fact that there is no "outrage" is a fault of Patriarchy."
In response to Reply # 16


  

          

people don't even label women as aggressors, or violent, or capable of force. THAT is a male driven narrative, because those are things we always have tried to attribute to ourselves, for CENTURIES.

So now when a story like this happens, our brains catch a "does not compute" error and the reaction is diffused because we haven't been battered with an onslaught of images and propaganda with a way of quantifying their actions. It gets seen as a victim vs victim face off instead of 2 aggressors.

Main stream media/society is operating under the umbrella of patriarchy, which is why women will be seen as defenseless and in need of saving. In all honesty, the proper reaction to this, in the realm of equality, would be disappointment in the unfortunate circumstance of all this, not outrage because "when guys do it, they get way more coverage and punishment."

It's our own fault.

it would be like me talking about white supremacy, and a white person saying "damn, yall have run that term into the ground" as if they didn't ram the practice down our throats for theee longest.

Call it what you want, but by whatever name it stems from the male-dude-bro-man-centered prioritization of literally everything for centuries.

it's our own fault.

In response to Reply # 0


          

like a year or so. Crazy that they fight at that level and even felt comfortable enough to fight like that in front of other people. Hopefully they'll get some counseling to figure out if they really need to be getting married and/or where the anger issues are coming from.

I heard Holdsclaw in a panel discussion a few years ago and she said that as she worked through her issues with a therapist after her DV situation they discovered that she was bi-polar.

I have lez friends who've been in domestic violence situations and it always shocks me but i have heard its pretty common and totally underreported. I'm really fortunate to have never gotten into a relationship that went that way.

but honestly, these women love that type of attention because she keeps 2 or 3 in the stable.

this girl used to pimp back in the day so she knows how to find women who are broken.

she does a great job making sure she is never in a good relationship. She had a good dude one time and she beat the shit out of him. When he finally slammed her on the ground she was turned on.

truly fucked up.

want to partner up with for life. Blacking out like that to the extent that cops had to be called is crazy. I know stress for couples increases leading up to a wedding, but to black out like that is just fascinating to me. To *snap* and this person is no longer your partner/priority etc but a competitor.

It just makes me curious how much of a foundation there was to begin with.

In response to Reply # 46


  

          

'drama' up to and including violence, for some.

i have friends who say they don't trust a relationship where there's no drama - they don't stand for violence (they claim) but if there's no shouting and mad feelings at least every once in a while they're looking at the front door. i assume it's b/c they've been abused (probably by parents) and don't understand how to love or be loved w/o abuse.

fuck you.
