In an unexpected twist, basketball stars A’ja Wilson and Angel Reese have publicly criticized Cherelle Griner, the wife of WNBA star Brittany Griner, for her decision to join the prestigious Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (AKA). This bold move has raised eyebrows, sparking a mix of support and backlash among fans and fellow athletes alike.
Cherelle Griner, known for her unwavering support of her wife during Brittany’s time imprisoned in Russia, has become a widely recognized figure in her own right. However, her recent announcement that she would be joining the ranks of AKA, one of the oldest and most distinguished sororities in the U.S., has sent shockwaves through the basketball community.
While many have congratulated Griner for her achievement, A’ja Wilson and Angel Reese did not hold back in expressing their disapproval. The two players, known for their outspoken personalities, took to social media to voice their opinions, with Wilson stating that it was “disappointing” to see Griner’s wife make such a move at this time. Reese echoed these sentiments, suggesting that Griner’s wife was more focused on personal ambitions than supporting causes that truly matter to the community.
Their comments have stirred up a frenzy online, with supporters of both Wilson and Reese applauding their boldness and calling out Griner’s wife for being out of touch with the issues that matter most to the WNBA and its players. Critics, on the other hand, argue that Griner’s wife should be entitled to pursue her own interests and that her decision to join AKA should not be a source of contention.
In the midst of this controversy, one thing is clear: the relationship between the Griners and some of the WNBA’s biggest stars is now under a magnifying glass. Whether this situation will escalate or fade into the background remains to be seen, but for now, the basketball world is buzzing about this unexpected clash.
