Brittney Griner's detainment in Russia has reached its 100th day. The seven-time WNBA All-Star's arrest over drug charges has caused a heartbreaking situation. Her fellow players have routinely spoken out about her arrest and are now establishing more ways to do something about it.

The Women's National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) has begun a campaign to get the attention of the White House and President Joe Biden and demand action for Griner. The players' union has set up a petition and urged other athletes to enact a blackout on their social media feeds.

The message touts the number 144, which represents the number of players on WNBA rosters, to signify its commitment to bringing Griner back home. The league has had a long history of speaking out against injustices. For the past few months, that has included the detainment in a foreign country of one of their own.

Griner's wife previously looked to obtain Biden's attention in order to free the WNBA All-Star. Having the players union behind her should help those efforts. The Biden administration has reportedly considered swapping prisoners with Russia that would bring Griner home in exchange for convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout.

Griner was arrested in a Russian airport with a vape and cannabis oil in her possession. Since 2015, she has spent her offseason from the WNBA playing for Russian club Yekaterinburg UMMC. Part of the WNBPA's efforts included the emphasis on a dialogue around unequal pay, which forces female professional hoopers to play overseas.
