Brittney Griner's Harassment at Dallas Airport Sparks Calls for Enhanced Security Measures in WNBA

The WNBA and WNBPA released statements regarding an incident at a Dallas airport involving Brittney Griner and other Phoenix Mercury players. The league called the actions of a social media figure and provocateur "inappropriate and unfortunate" and reiterated its commitment to player safety. The WNBPA urged the league to consider chartered flights for every team to keep players safe. Griner and the Mercury were granted charter flights this season after security concerns, but charter flights are not a league-wide standard.
