Geno shares an anecdote of BG's visit to his hometown in Italy:

"Long story short, BG couldn't get enough of the food and wine. My relatives were so excited at how excited she was to be sampling their cheeses and meats. ... Brittney is a legend in my hometown of Montella, Italy, and will be forever."​

Also included are stories from Dawn Staley, Brianna Turner, Sandy Brondello and Cheryl Reeve.

I'm so confused by your post...

I expressed sympathy for BG and your post seems to display aggression towards my sympathy...

What did I say that ticked you off?
