Bingo. She's getting paid like a capitalist in America. She just has an over inflated sense of the actual value she brings people. When you boil it all down to the simplest form, the reason WNBA players get paid what they do (if you take away the subsidizing of course) is they get paid for the value they bring people.

Maybe don’t act like an entitled bitch who the rules don’t apply to and you wouldn’t find yourself in the fricking gulag. I don’t have any sympathy whatsoever for the situation she finds herself in.

Pretty selfish of her not to take your experience in the service industry into account while campaigning for her wife’s safe return home. I think you should definitely bring this up on your date this weekend that you definitely have.

I bet if the USA was invading Ukraine she would be protesting the war. But more than happy to play in Russia because it pays more.

Not even true. The league loses money and is basically a charity of the NBA. Local intramural leagues are more profitable than the WNBA

I don't get the newsworthy fascination this incident is getting. If I did something forbidden in another country I'd expect to be locked away. But the US loves to reward people for dumb behavior.

Me: have you been following the Brittney Griner situation

Her: who is Britney Griner?

Me: she is a WNBA player

Her: what is the WNBA

Yeah that's going to be a good icebreaker. Thanks for dating tips.

Lesbian African American athlete. If this had been a white male, you would never hear about it at all.

Griner is obviously a half man half woman mix. Is that part of gods plan?

The funniest part about this is she would have been back here weeks ago if this happened under Trump.

She’d still be there and the media screaming about it would be worse

If they got paid like capitalists, they’d get paid nothing because the WNBA would have went belly up shortly after it started.

On June 4, 2015, Griner and Johnson announced that Johnson was pregnant with twins.


Did Griner impregnate her? I’m guessing Brittany has a dick. She/he talks like she/he does.

Lol, if it were true capitalism WNBA players would owe money or at least all be bankrupt. They only make any money at all because the league is artificially propped up by the NBA.
