The WNBA has suspended Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson

http://deadspin.com/the-wnba-has-suspended-brittney-griner-and-glory-johnso-1704744483

The WNBA has suspended Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson seven games each for an April 22 domestic-violence incident in which Griner pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct (Johnson’s case is still pending). They will also have to independently attend counseling. Griner and Johnson married on May 8.



I actually think it should be more for both. They should have gotten suspended at least 1/4 of the season.

I think they should be suspended for the whole season or even banned. Why does sports take a priority over something like violence? Americans are so in loooovvvvvve with their sports and forget about other important things. Domestic violence is even hard to keep track of. When it is found out it's more important to send a message. Enough already. Zero tolerance.
