Ohhhhh Lawd.
She's a LESBIAN and an AMERICAN in RUSSIAN. God help her.
Hopefully she will take her prison time to reflect on her behavior both in Russia and in America, and come out a better person.
Entitled entitled entitled they say they hate America but when they need help they cry like babies
It was literally 300 people at that game and they were all giving free tickets lol propaganda as best I wonder why they didn't pan out to the whole stadium 😂😂😂😂
The biden administration needs to give the American people the information that makes them believe that she's be wrongfully detained, otherwise they are lying and this is just a political move to gain the black vote and the LGBTQRWX and sometimes Y vote.
Didn't she state that she hated America lol 😂 now she wants to come back after being caught in Russia with hashish women don't want to be equal they want to be above!
How the f*** are we going to release a Hitman arms dealer for her. Democrats will lose my vote and my family as well if this goes down!
If they do a prisoner trade for her I swear I'm done with Democrats. How are you going to trade a convicted drug smuggler for an arms dealer aka merchant of death/Hitman?
SHE BROKE RUSSIAN LAWS, SHE'S A CRIMINAL..LEAVE HER THERE..OTHER AMERICANS IN RUSSIAN JAILS BEEN THERE WAY WAY LONGER!
She didn’t stand for the anthem for a reason.
Taking things out of context just to not feel empathy for this soul is disgusting.
She didn’t take a knee for country she was born in that has destroyed people with her skin colour.
She brought WEED yall relax.
She messed up and maybe should face Justice…yet 10 years?
Ffs where’s the empathy.
I don’t expect much from keyboards…but just save that “shoulda coulda crap†to yourself.
She’s in danger and has to face a crime that…she is not a criminal at all.
Why do you think joe Biden has come to try and soothe the fears??
She is a national respected decorated athlete. Y’all must be just mad.
Well, know this. She had to go to a different country to still play the game she won and provide for her family.
Being an athlete is tough, a female athlete?? Even harder.
She hasn’t made it easy for herself and maybe should have spoke up for her need for the drug to a doctor.
By the time she is done from her sentence she may not be able to ever play again…
She has to stay focused and keep her head up.
The hate from keyboard warriors…it’s just so ridiculous. Life isn’t fair, but this..this is..just plan old
messed up.
It is a medical plant that greatly reduces the physical and mental impacts of such a competitive environment that she performs in.
If this was a man athlete I swear people would be so fucking quick to defend him.
What does the war have to do with this?
Do you think she’s paying THAT much attention to international news?
She has a job to go to, that can provide for her family.
Confusing the situation with coincidental facts …
Thankfully peoples opinions in the comment section don’t matter.
somebody correct me if I'm wrong but isn't she the one that refused to stand for the national anthem and is talking bad about America and now she wants our help
Should be not guilty she didn't do anything wrong
Marijuana is illegal in Texas where Britney lives marijuana is illegal in Arizona where she plays in the WNBA and it is definitely illegal in Russia I know that for a fact I live in California where it's legal and I've been to Russia many times and I do not take marijuana with me but Brittney griner lives in Texas so she should be arrested in Texas for having marijuana or she should be arrested in Arizona for where she plays in the WNBA and she has marijuana somehow she got marijuana to go to Russia with where it's illegal where did she purchase the marijuana because it is illegal in Texas which would be jail sentence it is illegal in Arizona where it be jail sentence so where did she get the marijuana from where it was legal she don't live in California she is guilty for being ignorant and interest of the law is no excuse
Idky the whole WNBA not speaking more on this. Like posting it all over twitter ig ect
Oh, cry me a river! I hope she gets the maximum time. This will change her self-entitled, America hating mindset.
Nah keep her in Russia
"Miss Grinder" is very manly
If you get caught with drugs in America they'll want to violate the hell outta you. But willing to trade actual major criminals to free a person arrested for drugs. America is a real backwards azz country.
Remember the Olympics when they canned the Russia 15 year old for her headache medicine that was banned
NO ONE CARES!!
Omg! What a serious crime. It's not like she invaded and bombed an innocent country like that piece of sh!t Putin
Russia and China are the major counties you don't F*ck with when it comes to legal systems
Men keep that men in jail Russian jails are literally the worst and toughest I’ll prey for his safety but keep your head up
She's only got 3,652 more days…..
Maybe research laws before going places also their in the middle of a wat
What are they going to trade with him some of our military equipment to help out with the war and Biden called over there and Kamala they might as well gave her to death penalty what the f could he possibly want he stole a super bowl ring now he's got a WNBA star Y'all crack me up.
Make an example out of that thing. Make it rot in prison for the full 10 yrs.
that means the US wouldn't do the swap. they'd rather keep and let an old spy rot than to do the swap
Put himzir in the men’s prison …
Since heshe doesn’t like America any way… North Korea would be more suitable actually…
Simple:
1. don’t bring drugs to Russia
2. Don’t go to Russia during a war
Let the man go. He ain't did nun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPwk8LS30kU
Bet standing for the anthem don't seem so bad now.
On the bright side. She won't be beating up her wife for a while.
Maybe she shouldn’t have plea guilty.
why the hell do they keep saying wrongfully detained???? SHES IN CUSTODY FOR A CRIME!!!!
BLMTF folks,,accidently drug dealers deal drugs..okay..
Goldfish brains struggling with a guilty sentence and hating Russia at the same time
Does she deserve 10 years? absolutely not. But I hope people realize how lucky they have it here in the United States because serving 10 years is ridiculous but you also need to respect that law of the land
keep that batty fish in russia
Lock her up
Whispering like Brandon!
O say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail'd
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
Lookup the cases of Gaylen Grandstaff (whose charges were dropped since it was deemed an innocent error on his part by a Russian judge) and Marc Fogel.
Data published by the Pew Research Center in 2019 highlighted how Federal prosecutors have a 99.6% conviction rate. So the US Department of Justice has a higher conviction rate.
Ordinarily even in the US, she would just serve a mandatory prison sentence for possession and trafficking. Federally controlled substances like cannabis productsâ€â€even very tiny amounts, such as residue in devicesâ€â€are prohibited on most United States flights with anything having more than 0.3 percent THC leading to Federal drug trafficking charges.
The active ingredient THC (0.73 grams of hashish oil concentrate massed out in dried form) from several cartridges of THC Vape oil (E-liquid) she tried to pass through customs was found concealed in her carry on luggage.
Due to a drug epidemic they faced in the late 90's. Russia has very strict drug laws and she isn't the first American or even Russian to fall victim to them in the past few years, lookup the cases of Gaylen Grandstaff (whose charges were dropped since it was deemed an innocent error on his part by a Russian judge) and Marc Fogel.
Brittney Griner has been working, living and travelling to and from Russia for 7 years, during the annual WNBA-off season months earning a multi-million dollar salary (4 times her WNBA annual salary for a few months of training/playing in a private club within their women's basketball league). As an openly gay African American woman with no issues.
