So many questions I have: Does she still think we are the repressive country? Does she still hate the US? Do the Russians care if she takes a knee or feels offended? Why do so many Americans even want her back (including some freepers)?

Actually it doesn’t seem like anyone has done anything for her. She made poor choices.

” Why do so many Americans even want her back”

Lesbian. Stoner. Person of color.
She’s the trifecta of cool under popular standards.

Some prisons offer educational opportunities. Maybe Griner could learn to code. That would give her a marketable skill when she gets out of stir in about 10 years. She could even earn a degree.

I don’t care if it is 8 months or 8 years. It knew what the law was before it violated it. It said to itself,” I don’t give a damn what the law is. The law means nothing to me. I will do as I please and they won’t do anything about it.

Deep State might.

If they want to try to goose minority support at the polls, betcha Deep State ransoms her right before Election Day.

If they wait that long to do it, any info coming out about the deal likely won’t see the light of day til after the midterms.

Popular here. Black privilege doesn’t work in Russia.

I cannot imagine traveling to a foreign land with anything north of an aspirin for fear that I would be wrongfully detained or prosecuted in some third world (bleep) and wind up in the circumstances this dull witted athlete finds herself. I’m sure it’s no fun and traumatic for her family but is most certainly not a cause célèbre or a reason to upend diplomacy between Russia and the US. She should shut up, serve her time then find a new country to live in since we’re oppressive and Russia isn’t fair.

Is ‘she’ really a man? I don’t know. But seems to me it’s very possible in this woke day and age.
