The sports world remains heartbroken over the developments with Brittney Griner.
This week, the WNBA star's appeal was rejected by a Russian court, meaning she's set to serve her entire nine-year prison sentence, barring a trade with the United States.
Life in a full-time Russian prison sounds pretty rough.
"Brittney Griner will enter a system of isolation, grueling labor and psychological torment when she is transferred to a penal colony, the successor to the infamous Russian gulag, to fulfill a nine-year sentence, former prisoners and advocates say," NBC News reported this week.
Earlier in her prison sentence, Griner was reportedly offered a basketball, so she could play on the prison's hoop.
Heartbreakingly, she rejected the offer, deciding it was too tough to play right now.

In the dictionary, right between sh!t and syphilis.
It was her decision?
Maybe she can get a job with the Wagner Group.
Supposedly she’s a pretty good shot...
“In the dictionary, right between sh!t and syphilis.”
That’s where my Dad always told me that I could find it. :)
All of those sympathetic fans should vote for Donald Trump in 2024 if they want her to have a hope of coming home before 9 years are up.
Just saying.
Is she even a her?

Sometimes I sit and wonder where my little life went wrong
These old jailhouse blues have got me singing this old song
My life is a disaster, Lord and I feel so ashamed
In here where they call by a number, not a name ♪
Somehow I do not think I have gotten the full story.
Pravda could care less about reporting on this, and the MSN narrative has changed so much I have no idea what to think, except possibly.
‘Don’t smuggle banned drugs into foreign countries’
People question that a lot, but she grew up playing in Texas in the 90s and 00s and I don’t think they would have bought into the whole trans deal there and then.
Odd that remark. I was working with two Army vets just before my entry into the USN. They served in WWII. One across France and one across Italy. They told me that and not to worry about my girlfriend while I was gone, that I’d find her just like I left her when I got back. They were right on both counts.
I must not be in the sports world.
“ Griner was reportedly offered a basketball, so she could play on the prison’s hoop.”
She needs an American flag to trash before she can play ball.
We should outsource our penal system to the Russians. The recidivism rate is probably very low.
Please come back Brittney, this is not good for my health. I just know it isn't.
She despises our country. She should be happy to be free of the oppression and racism she endured when she lived here. She has been liberated. /s
And it looks to be spot on with this forum, haven’t seen any yet for her.
BS. This America-hating negro thought she could do what she wants because that ‘ghetto bitch’ mentality causes decent people to bend in the USA. Take your medicine, ho.
Jody must’ve lost her address. Jody made many a tough grunt cry.
WNBA Star.
on an totally unrelated topic, does anybody know what the word oxymoron means?
