Multiple celebrities and sports stars have spoken out about the release of WNBA player Brittney Griner, but Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys has apologised for his original take on the situation.
Griner has finally been freed from a Russian prison, with the United States sending notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout the other way to force her release after negotiating a prisoner swap. Griner has been detained in Russia since February after she was accused of bringing cannabis oil in her luggage to a Moscow airport, and officials have been trying to free her ever since.
The release of Griner has been celebrated among United States nationals, although unfortunately there are still many citizens that remain trapped in Russia. Parsons touched on this upon hearing about the release of Griner, but has since apologised after he received heavy backlash.
