WNBA star Brittney Griner's wife has posted to Instagram about the Phoenix Mercury player's detention in Russia.
Griner was detained after Russian officials said they found vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis in her luggage at the Sheremetyevo airport near Moscow.
The offense could carry up to 10 years in prison.

I’m being serious about my question because I simply don’t know. In this kind of relationship, are both individuals a wife, or is one a hubby? How is that determined?
That happened to me once in Mexico. I inadvertently had a full mag of 38 Super Auto JHP. Luckily I literally had a book on the life of Pancho Villa in my bag, right on top, and Mexicanos like Super 38, and a Mexican Army Lieutenant decided I must be ok guy for a gringo. Let me go, didn’t ask for a bribe, even gave me back the mag and ammo (which I disposed of post-haste, as soon as I was outta sight)
The Mexican Army sure did right by me, that’s all I’m gonna say.
I feel like I used up a lot of good luck and karma that day.
Apparently, WNBA stars can make more money in Russia than in the US. (Yeah, I don’t get it either).
got to thinking the other day, why do we have to replace knees....shouldn't we be FIXING knees instead....all of our technology and multi billion dollar health industry, and surgery is all they can think of.
Black, lesbian, tranny?, woman?,…she has all the right stuff to be a heroine in today’s USA….
They used to be called “partners”, which was less offensive.
That’s not a bad point you got there.
She should assert her black privilege.
and playing the queer/race card doesn’t work there
you do know that there are a lot of female bb teams playing in Russia and Russia paid the likes of Diana Tuarasi a million dollars to NOT play in the wnba one year.
Dang, my opinion of the Russians just went way down.
Her arrest predated the Ukrainian invasion.
A hilarious comment over at Zero Hedge:
“The Russians just wanted to join the international celebration of Black History Month”
some ex wnba player got in social purgatory for saying that there is a definite bias against hetersexuals.
Some of the Russian oligarchs treat US female basketball stars as exotic objects for their collection, sort of like lions and tigers.
She was playing for one oligarch’s team in the boonies in central Russia.
She will appear on that TV Show “Locked Up Abroad” soon. Should be an exciting program as the Biden “Lack-of-Administration” administration seek to get their beloved homo friends released by the mean ole Soviets. Lucky it was not Red China. You could get the death penalty or life over there for drugs.
“Yekaterinburg, with the populace of 1,493,000” is where BG plays.....thanks to Bald, I’ve learned that there is a whole lot of Russia that we Americans do not know about....they have actual cities and parks and universities.
Big Bald and Bankrupt fan here, too. I learned so much about that area from him.
I'm guessing the Russians are unlikely to be persuaded by that argument. Maybe they'll let her go if they think they can get some concession or propaganda victory out of it.
