Bad time to try and smuggle substances into Russia. Although there is really never a good time to do that.

WNBA player is not a political prisoner or bargaining chip. Hell, most NBA or any sporty athlete is a chip.

Look yeah it sucks for her that she’s in a Russian prison but she did it to herself plain and simple. She had drugs in a foreign country. A communist country at that. Then tried going to the airport with said drugs. What did she expect to happen? Maybe she will like it there more anyway she clearly hated being an American. Do the the crime pay the time.

Reading the hateful comments below and those lacking any sense of compassion or empathy for a fellow American sums up what is ailing my beloved nation. There has been no proof that Brittany had any drugs on her. The drug allegedly found in her luggage is marijuana which is legal in 17 states with 3 more to soon legalize. Knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathers like many who commented here would have a fit if one of their bro-mance athletic-gods was in Brittany's position. Shame of you for lacking a soul and being so freaking judgmental about something you know nothing about except what's being printed.

Lol, what a bunch of nonsense. Don't bring drugs into a country where you know they are illegal. Being an American doesn't exempt you from obeying another country's laws.

I agree with what you are trying to say but Russia has its own laws and she should follow them.

Ok kid. She violated the laws of a foreign country. A communist foreign country. She chose to take her stuff with her. Is she immune to their laws because she happens to be American? It means nothing that it is legal in 17 states here. IT IS NOT LEGAL IN RUSSIA. What is hard to grasp about this?

Eh I could care less honestly. She had illegal drugs on her in foreign country. Why should she get a free pass. This doesn't have anything to do with Ukraine as she was detained weeks before the current conflict. If she had tried this in Malaysia or Thailand she would be looking at the death penalty. She should consider herself lucky she was in Moscow.

I bet she'd give her left nut to be back in the US. Maybe a little hardship for her full of grievances arse will do her some good and make her grateful for the nation she hates so much.

I don’t agree with her political views but she is an American. Some of y’all need to check yourself with some of the “you’re only American if you think the same way as me” ideology.

Are you serious? She is in another country, with their own laws, which she chose to break.

The commies can keep her. She can stay in Russia where she won't ever have to listen to the American National Anthem.

If she did not have drugs, leave her alone. If she did, give her the penalty the law calls for.

Fighting her ignorance with ignorance is not a becoming look. Do I hope that she recognizes how lucky she (and everyone) are to live in the USA? Yes. Do I want her spending months/years in jail because Russia sucks dick and I hope Putin dies of a terrible disease? No.

I bet she wishes she was back in the country that she hates. I think more Democrats should be forced to see just how shitty the rest of the world is.

Well Tiger, you'd be a dumbass. The right hates Russia and authoritarianism. And if you think this country was headed in that direction vs now it is not. You're an even bigger dumbass.
