Whoopi Goldberg, a renowned actress,
television host, and political
Commentator, has once again made
headlines with her outspoken support for
Brittney Griner, the celebrated American
basketball player. In a recent episode of
“The View” Goldberg passionately
defended Griner against the pervasive
racial biases and criticisms that have
surrounded her career.
Goldberg’s
message was clear: “DON’T JUDGE HER
FOR ‘SKIN COLOR, LOOK AT HER
Brittney Griner, a two-time Q Olympic
gold medalist and WNBA star, has faced
a barrage of criticism and prejudice
throughout her career.
Despite her
impressive achievements on the court,
Griner has often been subjected to undue
scrutiny, much of which is rooted in her
race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Goldbergs defense of Griner highlights a
critical issue in the sports world and
beyond: the need to recognize and
celebrate talent irrespective of an
individual’s background.
