Is Brittney Griner Receiving Her WNBA Salary While in Russian Jail?

The simple answer is that her bank account should be in decent shape. The WNBA announced in May that Griner would be paid her full salary while she remains in Russia, and the money would not count against the salary cap for the Phoenix Mercury.

Maybe 9 years in a Russian prison, he’ll make it clear that he’s a man to some of those lonely Russian prisoners.

Brittanys “wife” is probably spending any joint account cash on unsupervised shopping sprees.

I'm reminded of that movie about Turkish prisons called "Midnight Express". A guy got busted for smuggling drugs in Turkey.

If I remember right the prisoner dressed up as a woman to escape.

Griner has that part nailed already so there's some hope. Oh wait. I think the Russians are already on to that ruse.

Let's get one thing straight, she got caught with an illegal substance in a tough country that doesn't let your skin color determine your guilt or innocence,

I have 2 questions and if answered honestly by britney, it could make me more simpathetic towards her.

1. How long before boarding the plane to Russia did you use your vape pipe?

2. What were you planning to do with the vape pipe and THC oil once you got to Russia?

It could be worse, she could be dead if she'd been caught in the Philippines!

Nine years is a long time, nine years in a Russian prison is a very long time, but as someone once said “this too shall pass.”

The question is will this break her or will it make her stronger?

Unfortunately I don’t think her life to this point has really prepared her for what she now faces and I fear she will be broken while in prison assuming she serves the full term.

If the Russians let her out early she will become a celebrity and continue on with her life not worrying about the consequences of her words or action.

Well, on the bright side she won’t be subjected to our National Anthem, so she’s got that going for her.

I wonder how much the Russian prison warden would charge us for playing the American national anthem over the prison PA system for at least once a day during the entire length of Brittney’s stay.

Prison must suck.

I guess that’s why folks don’t break the laws that will result in them getting put away.

How stressed are all those in prison who Kamala Harris prosecuted for marijuana possession?

The same Kamala Harris who laughed when asked if she smoked marijuana despite prosecuting others?

Too bad we don’t imprison people who break our laws, like the BLM rioters.

We are supposed to feel sorry for her but not the Jan. 6 persecuted innocents.

Is Griner being housed in the Men’s prison or Women’s prison?
