WNBA Fans Shocked With Brittney Griner’s Ejection
A WNBA game between the Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream on Wednesday quickly turned controversial after Brittney Griner was ejected early in the second half, leaving fans sharply divided over the decision.
The drama started during a routine rebound battle between Griner and Haley Jones. Griner was whistled for a foul, but unlike past instances where players might argue, she actually appeared calm at first, offering a sportsmanlike pat on the back to Jones and helping her regain her balance.

But the moment quickly unraveled. Griner exchanged words with the referee who made the call, drawing a technical foul. Moments later, things escalated when she continued to confront the same official and made contact. Further earning a second technical and an automatic ejection.
The incident instantly set off a wave of reactions online, with WNBA fans split down the middle.
“The second T was so unnecessary, it wasn’t even BG that made contact,” one user posted. Others disagreed, saying the league’s zero-tolerance policy on touching officials leaves no room for interpretation. “Good call, Candice,” another fan commented, backing the ref’s decision.
