She was just sentenced to 9 years. Putin is not going to release her unless there is an exchange for a particular Rusdian arms dealer.

I’d be OK with a swap if it also included an American CIA agent/spy.

“I am surprised and disappointed in Blackburn.”

Don’t be surprised. Blackburn helped put Biden in the White House on January 6. She is NOT on America’s side.

In many states, it’s not a crime. In others, likely a modest fine and probation

I know nothing about her. Did you see where she’s coming from politically? Thanks, caww.

If Brittney is an actual woman at birth, well she makes Michelle Obama look like a sex siren by comparison.

As for the comment earlier (not by you) that the Russians are "clean-cut", I had to laugh at that too.

Russian prosecutors asked a court outside Moscow to sentence American basketball star Brittney Griner to 9 1/2 years in prison

Well, that's fair if it's what a Russian would get for the same offense(s).

If the Russians want to torture her all they need to do is play the US national anthem in her cell—loud—24/7.

The WNBA is a joke. I’m under the impression that only lesbians have any real interest in that league.

She's a dike in her relationship with another woman....so likely had breasts removed....at any rate here's a photo of her as a youngster

Only that she supported the Floyd issue and didn't want the National Anthem played before a game to support the protest. Outside of that one instance nothing else.

From all I get about her she's basically pretty much focused on her sport - recently married her lesbo girlfriend - and she plays the guy role. Does take medicinal marijuana via e- cigs....which is what she was caught in Russia with. Being careless has cost her as we now see.

Now she's been convicted they'll go for the prison swap.

Thank you. An America hater who wants America to bail her out. Typical hypocrisy.

Brittney Griner divorced on June 5 last year after a 28-day marriage...aparently domestic abuse.

Rebellion is a lot of fun—until you hit the border of a foreign country that is not amused by such antics.

“divorced on June 5 last year after a 28-day marriage.”

But—I take it the new “marriage” is a “lifetime commitment”...

;-)

(Some of us knew that “gay marriage” was gonna make divorce lawyers rich.)

IF BG was born with female parts and still have that male build and deep voice, then I genuinely feel sorry for her, it is quite a burden to be so different in society....

however, it does not excuse her hatred of the American way, that btw has made her rich....
