Although she was born a man, definitely being used to keep the masses entertained on & off the courts!
She’s getting 72 month sentence in Russian prison
Griner has played in Russia for several years and did not know she broke their laws or packed those drugs? Oh please, what fairy tale will she tell next? She is really piling on the baloney.
I thought she was an ex WNBA player… She 6'9 and she forgot how to BOX OUT 😱
I see President Joe Biden is a lawyer. Maybe he can argue her case…
She had no choice but to plead guilty she is guilty she broke Russia’s laws
are there even prisons for women with adam-apples in russia?
Good luck in a Russian jail goof ball. Griner hates America.
She's lucky remember midnight express movie they hit the soles of his feet nitely he couldn't walk
BRING HER HOME😇
Lets face facts Griner will NEVER come home. She played in Russia previously, she knew the law she knew it, she broke it, and pleads guilty why because she is period! She and her family could plead from now till the yr 3000 for her innocence she wont get it she shouldnt get it.
Send Lebron to keep her company- they trash this country every chance they get. F then
how dumb are you to bring weed in a airport its her fault
She isn’t well liked. She has openly said she hates America. Leave her there.
She hates USA she must be happy living in Russia.
Why should she get special treatment. She knows what she was doing.
Hope she likes cold Siberia!!!!! you can shoot snow balls and eat soup daily.
Nasty hair gotta stink hashish oil is 10-15 years no matter what give up on him he’s our freakshow we need to keep him
Accidentally brought in illegal vape carts in a vacuum-sealed package mmmmkay lol
She is so arrogant….
She didn't come out of the locker room until our national anthem was finished and demanded that they remove the American flag from her home arena in Arizona. It's common knowledge, look it up. First she says she didn't know she packed the illegal drugs in her suitcase now she says she has a prescription for it. This comes out 5 months after being detained??? Why didn't her family bring it up immediately? She's a a criminal that tried to smuggle illegal drugs into Russia. Hash, hash oil and weed are illegal in RUSSIA….
Bring others first home
She should go to prison. Our government should stay out of it.
She knew that she got drugs with her. Like no one put drugs inside her bag.
Give me my puppy Vlad she isa dumb bitch but she is my puppy give me my baby now
Americans are acting like children. They think they will help in making noise. But russian foreign department's spokesperson declared repeatedly US has to respect russian trial procedure. Let diplomacy do its job and understand that Russians are not impressed neither by american mass media nor by stars of show business.
Come home, Britney!
Just do the time sweetie, it will hopefully give you more respect for the National Anthem. Good luck. Lol
This is racist and transphobic. It's so obvious that Russia is FULL of White Supremacists and she is a dark coloured VICTIM.
Black Lives Matter must do everything possible to bring her home. patrisse cullors is gonna save her!
🎻 interwebs smallest violin playing for ya.
Griner pleaded guilty as a strategy to get home? I thought maintaining ones innocence would be a better strategy if you want the government to work towards your release.
I have this feeling that the Russians will give her a light sentence just to stick another middle finger up to the west. She will go to prison but not for 10 years. Even if she was traveling in the states with this trash, it's illegal. Why is she as a professional athlete/role model smoking drugs? It's a banned substance in the NBA WNBA and every other professional sport and idiots are sticking up for her? She is abusing drugs!
Just give her a deal 5 years instead of 10 for the plea and bring the other soldiers first they get the ticket if I was there family I would go and ask why does she get black privilege it sounds that way
should be wearing a GO BRANDON tee shirt might score a few easy points with the court
10 years
So your life time entitlement did not carry to Russia? So how much do you hate America now? Stay in jail so you can appreciate and respect USA.
Is Brittney kissing Russian Beavers ? LOL 😂
So Lebron knows what it’s like to be stuck in a cell?
OK let's exchange Brittney for lebron I only wish it was lebron Russia 🇷🇺 did what I wanted to do kick these idiots to reality your not special or above the law
LeBron should go visit her if he really cares. Lol
Biden's NOT Going to get Griner home, He Could NOT Care Less!
Biden's Pissed Off Putin So Much?
That Griner will be Lucky to Not get the Full 10 Years!!
Some countries execute drug traffickers…. Just putting that out there
Hopefully they will leave IT over there. American government shouldn’t get involved. It got in this mess
If she had the drugs and it is against Russian law, she should go to jail. She better be lucky it's Russia, if it was another country, she would not get out.
All the other people who have kids stuck in jail for drugs and you worry about one that went to somebody else's country and played them as though their dumb and you can get away with this.
