PHOENIX — Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner tried to call her wife nearly a dozen times through the American embassy in Russia on the couple’s fourth anniversary Saturday, but they never connected since the phone line at the embassy was not staffed, Cherelle Griner said Monday.
The couple has not spoken by phone in the four months since Griner's arrest in Russia on drug-related charges. That was to have changed Saturday, when a long-awaited call was to have finally taken place. But the day came and went without any contact, leaving an anguished Cherelle Griner to wonder what went wrong and to suspect at least initially that Russian authorities had thwarted the call.

“...tried to call her wife nearly a dozen times through the American embassy in Russia on the couple’s fourth anniversary Saturday....”
Stupid wench...it was a federal holiday yesterday...celebrating Juneteenth. Everybody was off for the long weekend.
Or not. Place your bets. /default pronouns
She was caught red-handed trying to bring in drugs into the country. In places like Turkey, they throw you in prison for years and years (see the 1978 film, Midnight Express).
At this point, I would like to see the loathsome pink-haired Rapino sent to Russia. /spit
was it the weekend?
Evil perverts?
Scissor duo.
She will return and be an ungrateful bitch.
The hysterical thing is they’ll blame russia but there was no one in the American embassy to answer the phone
Bullshit. Why don't you go to Mexico and try bringing drugs in or smuggling drugs out and just see what happens to you.
In the case of Russia, whom the United States has been slandering and demonizing since 2016, we can all agree that they (the Russians) are well within their rights to keep the girl locked up -
“Russia doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages”
Shows the ignorance of a lot a of Americans...they assume the freedoms of this country are world wide. I’ve said for a long time people that spend their time bitching and bellyaching about this country need to spend a year or two in other countries and realize how good this country really is.
The sense of entitlement is raging in this one. Oh dear me , I didn’t get to talk to my lesbian wife who is in jail in a foreign country on a weekend
I hope she rots in jail. Maybe she will appreciate this country when she comes back. But probably not.
The person complains about the pay disparity between the NBA and the WNBA. This person is a college graduate. He or she ascribes the disparity in pay between the NBA and the WNBA to "misogyny", I kid you not.
Question, how much longer would one suppose the WNBA will be around? I mean what with all the misogyny and all. Just axin'...
LOL of course she will. The question was begging to be axed though, wasn’t it? :)
I assume this someone is not a business major?…
I also assume this person has never been an executive?…
True dat, nomsayin’?…
Griner has always preached hate against America and love for “socialism.” So why can’t she just accept justice from her comrades?
It be da Juneteenth holiday weekend.
She claims it was planted in her luggage. I can believe the Russian govt. capable of that. They’ve done far worse.
Of course they never connected. Any electrical engineer could explain why.
How do the phone problem is not related to all the sanctions Griner’s 81 million ballot (R)esident placed on Russia, and forbidding US companies to do business with Russia?
Apparently Griner did not learn in school that when you leave the USA, you don’t play by USA rules ... and diversity, inclusion and equity is worth zero, and special status for celebrities means nothing except maybe a higher ransom by one’s captors.
