Cherelle Griner, the wife of WNBA star Brittney Griner, told CNN on Thursday she wants US officials to do whatever they have to do to bring the basketball legend home -- and she needs to see them do more.
In the only interview she is giving on the eve of her wife's trial in Russia, Cherelle Griner sat in the Phoenix Mercury locker room and called for more action.
"It's really, really difficult. This is not a situation where the rhetoric is matching the action," she said. "I do have to unfortunately push people to make sure that the things they're telling me is also matching their actions and so it's been the hardest thing to balance because I can't let up. It's over 130 days and BG's still not back."
Brittney Griner, 31, who has played in Russia during the WNBA's offseason, was arrested February 17 at a Moscow airport. Russian authorities claimed she had cannabis oil in her luggage and accused her of smuggling significant amounts of a narcotic substance, an offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

WNBA and “star” don’t belong in the same sentence.
It’s like being the star of a soup kitchen.
Maybe it’s THC cartridges for a vape thing?
I’m so out of the loop I don’t even know what they’re called. LOL!
Let her rot.
It seems the arrest was legit.
I believe Americans should be caned in countries that have canings for crimes. I believe Americans should be killed for crimes in countries that call for killings.
Why do you believe she did no crime or that Americans should not get punishment for illegal acts they perform?
yep
Cherelle Griner, the wife of WNBA star Brittney Griner, A headline which speaks of a far more serious sin than narcotics.God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified - and only condemned homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47
LOL....
Gonna be tough to ask the Russkies for any favors right about now......
"In the summer of 2020, following the drug overdose by George Floyd, Griner explained that she would be protesting the playing of the national anthem before games by remaining in the locker room. She went on to say that:
“I honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our season. I think we should take that much of a stand.”
OPINION: Brittney Griner Hates America And Deserves To Languish In A Russian Prison
"Brittney Griner “has been out front about social justice causes her entire career,” according to AZ Central. She has been extremely vocal in denouncing imaginary ‘systemic racism’ in our country. And she has adamantly refused to even enter arenas for the playing of our National Anthem, stating:
“I’m going to protest regardless. I’m not going to be out there for the national anthem. If the league continues to want to play it, that’s fine. It will be all season long, I’ll not be out there. I feel like more are going to probably do the same thing. I can only speak for myself.”
America-Hating WNBA Player Brittney Griner’s Russian Nightmare Goes From Bad To Worse
Her wife ? LOL.
wah wah wahmen
cbd oil is exactly that ....sells like tiger balm used to.
if the ruskies say no no, to jail you must go go.
we have no extradiction treaty.
she is a pow.
Which is worse? A russian prison or a turkish prison? She is about to find out.
Every Leftist loves to disrespect America and say bad things about it. Then when they go overseas and get in a jam, they suddenly realize America is not so bad after all.
And the other series featuring drug dealers and users should be required watching for every teenager in this country.
Her wife?
Cue Claude Rains.....I’m shocked! Shocked to find lesbians in the WNBA!
She probably still blames her predicament on the USA anyway. Our country is so bad it makes Russia pick on Americans like her, or some such nonsense. Nothing to do with Russians being corrupt and bad actors.
That said, I think just on principle the Biden Administration should be doing more to get her deported back to the USA, and Russia can bar her from entering their country again. She doesn’t need to do ten years in a Russian prison over possessing some cannabis oil.
