Part 4/9:
Observers voiced frustration that, despite the media attention generated by Griner’s comments, neither the WNBA nor the player herself provided clarity. Outkick attempted numerous times to reach Griner for her side of the story, yet they received no response.

The resistance to queries from an organization that seeks to investigate, rather than pander, creates a veil of suspicion over the WNBA's actions.
