Brittney Griner and Whoopi Goldberg are considering leaving the United States, citing dissatisfaction with how talent is undervalued in the country. Griner, a WNBA champion, and Goldberg, an entertainment icon, have both expressed frustration with the lack of recognition and support they’ve received in their careers.
Griner’s experience during her detention in Russia has given her a new perspective on how other countries treat their talent. Goldberg, on the other hand, has long been critical of the creative industries in the U.S., arguing that artists are often overlooked and undercompensated. Their potential move abroad has sparked a broader conversation about the systemic issues facing athletes and entertainers in America.
While their plans remain unclear, the possibility of their departure highlights the growing trend of American talent seeking opportunities overseas. As the U.S. grapples with these concerns, Griner and Goldberg’s voices add urgency to the need for change.
