Brittney Griner has gone through a lot in the past few months. She was detained on drug charges in Russia and was finally released in late 2022. The WNBA superstar is now back and preparing for another season.
Griner recently held a press conference for the Pheonix Mercury, answering various questions. However, a lot of basketball fans were surprised by her voice and some of them even claimed that she was a man, which was very unusual.
This is nothing new for the Mercury center, who's dealt with a lot of criticism and hate her entire life, but some social media users may have taken it too far.

Brittney Griner's voice was deep, which is why many social users criticized her
Growing up, Brittney Griner has never been like other kids. She was much taller and looked different from other girls, which is why she wasn't accepted as the others. Unfortunately, things haven't changed since she's become a WNBA superstar.
During her press conference on Thursday, Griner answered many questions, including a question regarding trans athletes in sports. Videos of her press conference have gone viral and have received many comments. However, most of the comments were about her voice.
Griner's voice certainly sounds deep, but this has always been the case.

However, the WNBA superstar has received a lot more popularity since returning to the United States, which is why some basketball fans recently heard her talk for the first time.
The 32-year-old star has been criticized many times and was even called a boy in school. Due to this, some comments are not new to her.
Some men on Twitter claimed that Brittney Griner's voice was deeper than theirs.
The Mercury star has always been the same. However, some people claim that she's changed and that her voice wasn't that deep before, while others point out the obvious.
Some users looked at the more positive side of Griner's press conference. Instead of focusing on what her voice sounded like, they were just happy to hear the WNBA superstar.
Fortunately, some of Griner's fans defended her and did not like the fact that she's received so much criticism.
Back in February, the 8-time WNBA All-Star resigned with the Phoenix Mercury, securing a contract for next season. She's been working on returning to basketball and we expect to see her play in a few weeks.
