Soccer star Rapinoe tributes detained Brittney Griner at White House
US soccer icon Megan Rapinoe paid silent tribute Thursday to a fellow sports star -- basketballer Brittney Griner, who is detained in Russia -- during a White House awards ceremony. Griner, who has been imprisoned in Russia since February, pleaded guilty to drug smuggling charges earlier Thursday in a case that has further inflamed tensions between Moscow and Washington.
