The sports world remains heartbroken over the developments with Brittney Griner.
This week, the WNBA star's appeal was rejected by a Russian court, meaning she's set to serve her entire nine-year prison sentence, barring a trade with the United States.
Life in a full-time Russian prison sounds pretty rough.
"Brittney Griner will enter a system of isolation, grueling labor and psychological torment when she is transferred to a penal colony, the successor to the infamous Russian gulag, to fulfill a nine-year sentence, former prisoners and advocates say," NBC News reported this week.
Earlier in her prison sentence, Griner was reportedly offered a basketball, so she could play on the prison's hoop.
Heartbreakingly, she rejected the offer, deciding it was too tough to play right now.

According to the Texas birth index, she’s a she.
The narrow window of a deal for a trade is long gone. Biden and the neocons wanting a war killed all negotiations. She has now been forgotten by the Biden and the State Department regardless of the Lip Service the White House is giving, she just is now worth nothing. Trump probably could get her and ex Marine out as Putin might do it just to totally embarrass the Biden and his administration. But that will never be allowed no matter what, although after the Midterms Trump may try it.
Heartbroken? Me? Nah...I’m not. I’m more heartbroken that Ryan Blaney missed the Championship 4 in Phoenix next week...I’m heartbroken over the lousy season Green Bay is having...
Being sent to a Penile Colony in Siberia is the worst kind of punishment. Pretty much slave labor. The brutal conditions of winter are unreal. Been watching some history of Stalin and the Easter Front War and some stuff on those sent to Siberia. The brutality of what happened to those sent there is unimaginable. Not sure how much improvement there has been there, probably not that much, you can’t change the brutal conditions of confinement and the work demanded outside in the elements.
Will she be sewing WNBA jerseys?
To all questioning whether she is male of female, The russkies know for sure and she is in a women’s prison.
‘male OR female’, that is.
Nah - sewing uniforms to help in their war effort I suppose.
This Griner gal just may make something of herself someday.
Correct. The Russians don't play into the transgender foolishness like we do over here so I'm sure they have her shipped off to the proper prison for her gender.
does anybody know what the word oxymoron means ...... I always though that Billie Mays was the perfect definition of oxi-moron

Who has ever heard of a court system that has no special treatment of athletes?
