Griner was imprisoned for carrying illegal drugs to Russia and this has brought harsh punishment upon her. However, many celebrities have called for her to be returned to the US, instead of letting Russia punish her there.

Navratilova’s take on Twitter

The 18-time Grand Slam champion is an avid Twitter user. She expresses her political and social views on the platform. In an old interview, she focused on the power of Twitter.

Navratilova wished Twitter was there during her younger years so that she could use it to raise her voice and engage with a bigger audience.

On the other hand, Navratilova does not seem to like the prevailing conditions of the social media platform. Mainly because of the owner of Twitter, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk; she has made her dislike for him clear, on more than one occasion. Whatever the case, Navratilova is still actively using the platform to raise pressing issues that concern the world.
