Interesting last six weeks apparently............all in six weeks. Bought a house...got married....announced partner Johnson is pregnant.....and filed for annulment. Add on a few weeks before that...domestic assault charge....and sitting out 7 games this year. Wow.
This is a very interesting story on several levels.
I remember Glory Johnson from when she played at Tennessee and thought she was a fairly attractive well spoken woman. Suddenly she became part of this story a few months ago, which surprised me. I found a NYT article on their courtship, that revealed that Glory Johnson, prior to this Griner episode. had never been attracted to women or considered herself to be a lesbian.
I suspect that Glory Johnson hooked up with some guy, which was not a departure from her normal history and ended up getting knocked up. When Griner found out the S## hit the fan, although the fight a few weeks ago might have been part of this. as Griner might have found evidence of Glory's return to her interest in men.
The comments about "artificial" insemination form Glory Johnson were probably cover to make this issue go away, since Griner claimed recently she knew nothing about any pregnancy plan.
Considering Glory Johnson's background, this whole story is very strange, almost to the level of a Tonya Harding type situation.
In fact the whole issue of disproportionate lesbianism in the WNBA is odd, and the case of Sheryl Swoopes in particular is relevant. Swoopes was married and had a son, then at some point "became" a lesbian after a few years in the WNBA. Swoopes later renounced her lesbianism and is now head coach at the Loyola-Chicago. Her comments about her experience are very interesting and will piss off left leaning, gay agenda focused types.
Sheryl Swoops and her story are for certain not politically correct, and this Glory Johnson situation is very similar.
