Is there a reason she should not serve her entire term?

“She refused to come onto the basket ball court when the National Anthem was playing. Gee, maybe the U.S. isn’t such a bad place after all.”

If released what country would she go to? Certainly not the US, that much we know.

Maybe, although doubtful, Griner is protesting the medical tyranny, surveillance state slash national security state that the US has become. For that, I would kind of be with her on that.

I’ll bet she was shocked to learn that, unlike the U.S., the race card, celebrity card, and LGBT card doesn’t work in Russia.

Good. Not our problem as the crime she did was in Russia. She was convicted and sentenced. Let her now complete her sentence.

Timing is everything. She picked the wrong time to break Russian law. Joke Xiden’s puppeteers aren’t going to run their foreign policy over a basketball bouncing celebrity who enters Russia with illegal drugs. Maybe when the Russians want to retrieve certain US imprisoned intelligence assets, they’ll make a deal with whomever is in the WH. But that is not foreseeable, not happening with Joke Xiden anytime soon.

What she does have is celebrity status and a demonkkrap media machine that keeps her name in the news. There must be a lot of other lesser status people who are in the same predicament there and have no such privilege, advantage. Look how her attorney gets right in the news, right now, and it is publicized. Why is her attorney talking right now? When she does return to the US, I wonder if she’ll change her reported perspective on what a terrible country the US is. I hope she does, and tries to work for defending what makes the US the greatest country ever. The media will turn on her and you’ll never hear from her again if that happens.

She complained she wasn’t read her “rights.”

The moronic little kneeler didn’t realize all the rights she had here were rare globally and historically.

More kneelers should visit foreign countries and explore their treatment there.

Quit whining toots ... it’s only nine years. Most likely you will be far more mature and wiser than when this all started. You may even fit into society and find something to contribute to the common good.

Evil Putin refuses to recognize black privilege....

Hmmm—maybe we could learn something from him.

Why is she worried? She is perfectly safe from the National Anthem there.

Oh well. Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.

You do the crime, you do the time.

Anyway, the Ukrainians have bigger Russian problems on their hands. As do the Europeans.

But when all the problems pertaining to the war and the economy are sorted out to everyone's satisfaction, I'm sure the world will gladly focus their attention on Griner's woes.

A least Griner now has plenty of time to spend in the prison library. And good news for her, Russian novels are really thick.
