Most of Twitter was ecstatic when the news of Brittney Griner’s release from Russian captivity was announced on Thursday. However, there were some who voiced their disappointment that Paul Whelan, a former U.S. Marine, was not a part of the prisoner swap that resulted in Griner’s release.
Cowboys star Micah Parsons was one of those people and caught some backlash when he tweeted, “Wait nah!! We left a marine?? Hell Nah.” Parson’s reaction could be interpreted as disappointment in Griner’s release over Whelan. After a little over an hour, he addressed his tweet and went on to criticize President Joe Biden.
