Brittney Feared

When the hype was young for Brittney Griner.

Think about what you’re saying about Brittney Griner. Yes, she cleaned someone’s clock recently. No, that’s not clean play. But before you go off on her — the most physically gifted 19-year-old woman ever — try to remember what it’s like to be 6-8, female, and dominant at the game basketball. That’s right, you can’t.

    someone test him/her. its the only possible solution to this debate. i personaly think the person who i shall refer to as B until gender is proven is a guy.

    So you are making fun of her. And here I thought you were simply pointing out an unbiased observation rooted in emperical truth, not sexist in any way. You just fell on your own sword, Jukai. Checkmate. Oh, and my arguments are only bizarre to one who cannot connect more than one idea at a time. I’ve wasted so much time having to backpedal and explain things out to you, that it is starting to get stale. So, to end on a note of humiliating reinforcement of your own emasculating inferior intellect, checkmate. Checkmate, b**ch.

    Making fun of Griner eh? And here I thought this whole time you were simply making an empirical observation rooted in undeniable truth, and not the least bit sexist. Looks like you fell on your own sword here Jukai. Checkmate. I didn’t expect you to slip up and freely admit your own bias just like that. And by the way, my arguments are only bizarre to one who can not connect more than one idea at a time. I’ve gotten tired of having to backpedal and explain everything out for you, I’m glad this is finally done for. Oh, and just to reforce your own emasculating intellectual shortcomings, I’ll end on this. Checkmate, b**ch.

    I am a women basketball fan, and against sexism… we know many female athletes look and behave like men(stereotypically),yet we know and we dont question their gender. But Brittney Griner is just different. If you see “her” move and play, you just cannot help but doubt… but until she wins a championship, no one will seriously dare ask for a gender test(its a very sensitive issue in this country which worship “privacy rights”).. But most of us who see her have the same question about her yet we pretend we dont see it,or we just keep quiet… I think its wise to have her gender confirmed before it blows out of proportion… or,i was thinking, if she is really a he, then for all the trouble he/she was doing for sports fame, then shall we just let her/him get away with it..in case

    She has the physique of a guy. Has she been tested for testosterone levels? Y chromosome? Something is not right.
