Griner has previously kneeled for the National Anthem and demanded the WNBA remove American flags from basketball arenas

WNBA basketball player Brittney Griner was sentenced to 9 years in a Russian prison on drug possession and smuggling charges today after she pleaded guilty to a Russian court last month. Griner was arrested in February when entering Russia to play for a women’s basketball team after authorities found THC vape cartridges in her luggage.

Wouldn't matter if she was the greatest American patriot who ever lived - she went to another country and violated that country's laws. Her decision, and now she can face the music. I don't appreciate our senile president offering to free imprisoned criminals from Russia to get Griner out of a Russian prison.

A better question is who in their right mind brings marijuana to Russia?

It would be nice if she does all nine years. She can learn a second job skill before she is returned to America. She can “start a new life” here and put bouncing balls behind her.

IDTS. Like Seminova based on the Adam’s apple, male voice & physique, she/he probably had ambiguous genitalia at birth & was mis-assigned. When puberty hit her/his internal (undescended) testes started producing the normal complement of male level testosterone.

Russians don’t like lesbians and they like black people. She’s in for a rough time.

“To trade her for the Russian we are holding would be a joke.”
I agree, they should have to take Rapinoe and Klapperdick, along with the “merchant”.

Well at least she/HE doesn’t have to worry about hearing the US national anthem.

Those who have been pampered and isolated, legally-pampered and protected.

They feel they are entitled, and no one in their circle has ever treated them otherwise.

They expect the privilege of their US protected-class status to work OCONUS.

They wear a “how dare you?!” chip on their shoulder.

They have never faced consequences for bad actions.

Do Russians have parole or early release for good behavior?

Is her sentence in line with others?

Did the court find aggravating or mitigating factors?
