I used to work in the service industry when I was younger...if they treated me better and paid me better I might still be there. Turns out though it's not an extremely profitable job in most cases...kinda like playing a sport televised on public access TV or in front of High School capacity crowds in arenas that look like they are enforcing covid restrictions

Play a sport that no one watches as a profession then complain about not making enough.
Entitlement.
Entitlement.

And if she followed a foreign country's laws, she wouldn't be in a foreign prison

They play far fewer regular season games than the men ina league that loses money. How sad, they have to go play another season somewhere to end up playing closer to as many games as the men and make more money.
And here's the truth about Russia:
Translation: These people are spoiled and stupid.

WHY RUSSIAN SALARIES ARE SO HIGH
Russian sports leagues have been able to pay top players these high salaries because some of the teams are funded by government municipalities while others are owned by oligarchs who care more about winning championships and trophies than being profitable. There are stories of Russian owners putting up players in luxury accommodations and taking them on shopping sprees and buying them expensive gifts in addition to paying their salaries.
In 2015, Taurasi’s team, UMMC Ekaterinburg — the same one Griner plays for — paid her to skip the WNBA season and rest.
“We had to go to a communist country to get paid like capitalists, which is so backward to everything that was in the history books in sixth grade,” Taurasi said a few years ago.
The Russian league has a completely different financial structure from the WNBA, where there is a salary cap, players’ union and collective bargaining agreement.
Translation: These people are spoiled and stupid.

Her Partner is in prison and she’s spewing political drivel. It’s sad how lost these people are.

I read this and looked up what griner makes. She makes roughly $225,000 in the wnba. If she can’t make it on that, tough.

Griners Wife
Is this a new wife, or the wife she beat up at least once, then convinced her to have a baby through in vitro fertilization, then got into another “physical altercation” while the wife was pregnant, then left the wife, then wanted nothing to do with the wife and premature twins, then had to be chased down to by the courts to provide child support?

That league is literal welfare.
Those women playing in the WNBA have a legitimate subsidized payroll

So she’s happy with how Griner is treated in Russia?

It’s amazing how many stupid people are in this country. We need to have iq tests to vote

frick her. No one made her play professional basketball. That was HER choice.

She doesn’t have a wife…no matter much they say it is so.

She should consider being better at basketball then. The NBA would cream their pants over a woman that could compete with the men. Unfortunately, Griner would get bullied by every big man in the ESPN 300 high school rankings. That’s why she plays in a league that hemorrhages money

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.

Classic - textbook case of - She don't know that she don't know.

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.

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

If the WNBA actually made money, they could pay Griner whatever they could.
As it stands, the WNBA is a loss leader paid for by the NBA owners and NBA player association out of basketball-related earnings.
Don't bite the hand that feeds nor bitch about being popped overseas for possession of something she should never have had in her bag travelling overseas.

she makes 200-300k a year in the WNBA and I know she's good compared to her peers.
However, if you can't figure out how to live a decent life with a 7 year career making >2mil than you're not getting much sympathy from the mass.
