Dennis Rodman says he's going to Russia to help Brittney Griner

WASHINGTON — Former NBA player Dennis Rodman said he plans to travel to Russia to help Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison earlier this month, according to NBC News.

"I got permission to go to Russia to help that girl," the 61-year-old told NBC News on Saturday. "I'm trying to go this week."

Rodman was vague about what kind of permission he was granted to visit Russia. Currently, the State Department has a travel advisory that strongly urges Americans to avoid visiting Russia.

"Do not travel to Russia," the State Department advises, listing factors such as "the unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine," the potential for "harassment against U.S. citizens by Russian government security officials," and "the singling out of U.S. citizens in Russia by Russian government security officials."

I would advise Dennis to check his luggage carefully before leaving.

I actually hope he succeeds.

He should bring rocket man with him and form a true coalition of kooks. Force their media to cover the side show, kinda like what we have here.

Putin should agree to release Griner—in exchange for the US releasing the J6 political prisoners.

I’ll have to disagree with you; I hope he comes back empty-handed, at least for now.

The American-hating player needs to be there for long enough to truly understand the freedoms America was founded on. That being said, by the time her sentence is up, America may look more like the old Soviet Union than Russia does...

That would certainly result in some interesting dialogue.

> I actually hope he succeeds.<

We all know what Brittney Griner is about. And when you’re in another country, you follow their rules. Etc., etc.

But Grainer didn’t try to smuggle in a brick of heroin, or anything like that. So I kinda agree with you.
