WNBA's Brittney Griner reportedly detained in Russia after officials found hashish oil in luggage

This happened like a month ago and she’s still there. Not that I care about the WNBA but it should prove interesting considering the circumstances and not being afforded the same liberty’s these athletes are afforded here.
Hash oil? = Midnight Express?

International travel, you're not in liberal Amerika any more snowflakes. Check your freedoms at the border.

Dumb fuck.

Sucks being her. Not many would be "working hard" to get her home if she wasn't a sports star. If she broke the law there why should they bring her back here? Don't give me the, "I didn't know..." Would they give leniency to a NY gun owner who got caught carrying in NJ?

 

[Bigfoot]

I read somewhere else so take it FWIW. That her wife is one of those men that pretends to be a woman. Also the BLM type, a kneeler, and another woke anti American muh oppression type.

Does any of that matter? It does to someone like myself... Fight me. LOL ...

She got a big contract from Nike. Does that remind you of someone else?
Another Anti American? Sounds like she's kind of a female Colon Kaepernick.

I'm finding it really difficult to give any fucks on this one... Yeah IDGAF.
This falls under the play stupid games win stupid prizes category. IMHO.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Maybe they should organize a BLM protest in Russia.

Being 6’ 9” black, female, famous athlete walking through a Russian airport and with the current events going on,
I guess she thought she “blended in”

Maybe she would prefer Russia, you know, because this country is such a terrible place.

 

[Justincase]

Could not care less.

Me neither until they start using the useful idiot as a bargaining chip.

"Griner, who plays for the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, has played in Russia for the last seven years in the winter, earning over $1 million per season - more than quadruple her WNBA salary. She last played for her Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg on Jan. 29 before the league took a two-week break in early February for the FIBA World Cup qualifying tournaments."

So she plays both sides .. hummm ..

 

[Acer-m14]

PS .. she made 1 mill per season for 7 yrs .. she can bail her her own ass out ..

 

[Saltwater60]

I have no doubt she did what they said. They didn’t detain all American citizens so why chose just her if not.

 

[livingston]

Sucks being her. Not many would be "working hard" to get her home if she wasn't a sports star. If she broke the law there why should they bring her back here? Don't give me the, "I didn't know..." Would they give leniency to a NY gun owner who got caught carrying in NJ?

Or carrying in Russia ?

I would chip in for airfare on that one...

 

[FRANKIE]

Oh shit
Add this to the mix,

Personal life. In an interview with SI.com on February 11, 2013, Griner publicly came out as a lesbian. She also revealed in the interview that she was bullied as a child, explaining, "It's hard. Just being picked on for being different.

If you look close she was also wearing a BLM patch on her jacket at the time of her arrest.

Putin is twirling his mustache at this fine American representative.

Here's a handy travel tip. Don't take fucking drugs in your luggage to another country where they don't have the same laws we do in the US.......or does that require too much mental gymnastics?

Brittney Griner: National anthem has no place in WNBA, sports

I agree with her, but for a different reason. Most of them couldn't care less, if they don't understand how not wanting the national anthem played is disrespectful to what the country stands for, then they aren't worthy of having it played for them.

I skimmed the article but didn't see the word, "Racist." Weird.

If she does not go free, attention will turn to the possibility of a high-stakes prisoner swap that was proposed last week by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to his Russian counterpart.

Griner said she made “an honest mistake” in bringing the vape cartridges into Russia, adding: “I hope in your ruling it does not end my life.”

Will she kneel for the Russian anthem too? All of the sudden the US doesn't seem like such a terrible racist country, hah Brittney?
