According to her counsel, Lindsay Kagawa Colas, “Brittney has been imprisoned for 75 days and our presumption is that the White House do whatever is necessary to get her home.” This shows the US government is in support of her
Additionally, according to the WNBA, this season all WNBA courts will have Brittney’s initials and shirt number (No. 42) displayed on the sidelines. The organization also granted the Mercury program compensation cap assistance so they can show the world they are supporting her.
Her wife and most US citizen has put their comments on board which shows they are all in support of her too.
