She hated it here anyway. This is like a vacation for her and that mean old flag will leave her alone now.

Yes, maybe her wife can move to Russia so she can visit Griner in prison.

And this thing went to Baylor? Frickin’ Baylor, where they probably didn’t allow students to drink beer at one time.

When in Russia - do as the Russian's do.

She should be thankful she wasn't in a country that would have summarily executed her for the drug charge.

Russian judge sentences Brittney Griner to 9 years in prison
Griner reacted to the sentence with little emotion. She listened to the verdict with a blank stare on her face.

Do the crime, do the time, Brit. In the long run, the Russkies are doing her a favor, keeping her off the wacky weed.

And off the streets of San Francisco as well.

Griner said Yekaterinburg, a city east of the Ural Mountains, had become her “second home.”

“I had no idea that the team, the cities, the fans, my teammates would make such a great impression on me over the 6 1/2 years that I spent here,” she said. “I remember vividly coming out of the gym and all the little girls that were in the stands there waiting on me, and that’s what kept making me come back here.”

Maybe they should take Griner to the "House of Special Purpose" there.

While I think this is a political sentence so was the 8 years the guy got for standing outside the capital and yelling at police.

At least she’s safe from all the USA racisms and homophobias.
