Brittney Griner and why WNBA travel is this way | WNBA Podcast

Host Jackie Powell is joined by the one and only Ari Chambers. The pair discuss how what happened to Brittney Griner on June 10 in the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport informs us on why the WNBA’s travel situation is the way that it is. How are WNBA teams and the Players Association trying to make traveling on commercial airlines a little bit less stressful for players and what exactly is JSX? What are its benefits and its drawbacks? Jackie and Ari also question, why does it have to be this way.
