Brittney Griner I Never Called Caitlin Clark A 'F***ing White Girl' ... 'Would Never Say That'
Brittney Griner is finally addressing the speculation she called Caitlin Clark a "f***ing white girl" during a game last month ... and she's adamant those words never left her mouth.
On Sunday -- both before and after her Atlanta Dream squad took on the Washington Mystics in D.C. -- Griner was peppered with questions about the viral May 22 incident.
After the game, I asked Brittney Griner if it was possible that she said "f***ing white girl" after fouling out against the Indiana Fever, even though she couldn't remember what she said.

"Luigi: The Musical" premiered at the Taylor Street Theater in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Fran this Friday, and get this -- the show was sold out!
Luigi is the star of the musical -- which makes sense, 'cause the satirical comedy discusses the theme of violence and how it's sensationalized by the media. Not pointing any fingers, of course!

12:48 PM PT -- The Craigslist post has been officially debunked as fake -- Fight Fight Fight LLC via GetTrumpMemes telling TMZ ... they know nothing about it.
An ad posted to Craigslist calling for seat-fillers for the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary parade this weekend -- AKA President Trump's birthday bash -- has gone viral ... but it has all the makings of a total hoax.
Here's the deal ... an ad posted this week on the D.C. website page with the headline "Seat Fillers Needed - June 14th - Constitution Avenue - DC" claims patriotically dressed seat-fillers would be paid a freaking grand -- in crypto -- to show up and cheer their butts off Saturday.
But .. there are some red (sans white and blue) flags with the post ... for instance, the alleged coordinator -- T-Mellon Events -- doesn't appear to exist, so far as TMZ could find while searching for business records. What's more -- on ALL of Craigslist in the U.S., T-Mellon Events only appears on this single listing.
