#Queer #basketball #player #BrittneyGriner #honoured by #BaylorUniversity.

The faculty retired her #No42 #jersey on 18 February at a #pregame #ceremony on #campus to #honour her #sporting #legacy — one of the highest #honours for an #athlete, usually reserved after a player has left the #team, #retires from the #sport, or #dies.
