Brittney Griner has been heckled by an influencer at Dallas Airport, who repeatedly asked her if she 'still wants to boycott America' in the wake of her release from a Russian penal colony.
The WNBA and the her team - the Phoenix Mercury - are reviewing the incident, which occurred as the team travelled home from their latest game in Dallas on Saturday.
In a clip posted to social media by Alex Stein - the YouTuber in question - Griner can be seen walking through the airport while he shouts at her.
'Hey Britt, do you still wanna... do you still wanna boycott America?' he can be heard saying, in reference to Griner's previous comments that the national anthem should not be played prior to games.
The basketball star has since flipped on her previous comments and said 'I definitely want to stand', after returning to America from a Russian penal colony.
