In this segment, we delve into a recent video posted by Black and White Sports on YouTube, which tackles questions surrounding Brittney Griner, the WNBA star. Known for their candid discussions on sports-related topics, Black and White Sports has recently addressed a topic that’s stirred curiosity in some sports circles: Griner’s personal identity and her request to be called “Pops” by her child.

In the video, the hosts discuss a recent interview Griner gave following the birth of her son with her partner, Cherelle Griner. In the interview, Griner expressed excitement about the birth and her new role as a parent, sharing her preference to be called “Pops” rather than “Mom.” This choice has raised some eyebrows, as it breaks from traditional gender expectations, but many fans view it as an expression of individuality.

The speculation addressed in the video about Griner’s gender identity and voice reflects ongoing conversations about gender roles and expectations, especially for athletes in the public eye. In Griner’s case, she’s been open about her journey as a WNBA athlete and her personal identity, embracing her unique voice both on and off the court. Her journey has also included advocacy work for the LGBTQ+ community and support for breaking down stereotypes, especially for women in professional sports.

As Black and White Sports fans weigh in, it’s clear that Griner’s story resonates with many—both as an athlete and as someone who continually challenges traditional norms. Her choice of the name “Pops” illustrates her comfort with herself and her willingness to redefine what it means to be a parent in her own terms, serving as a reminder of the diverse identities present in the world of sports.
