That is the most cogent summary of Ms. Griner’s situation I have read.
I say, let her rot.
Am I an awful person?
I don’t think you’re an awful person for your anger at Griner. I don’t think she’ll rot anyway, but she needs some quiet time away from the spotlight and her prior above-average, comfortable lifestyle to reflect on her blessings and develop some gratitude and humility. It would be very good for her to have to stay in the Russian prison until she grows into a good American.
