I hate we aren't advanced enough to make this happen.

Unfortunately we're 4.5 years removed from the Cole memos being rescinded, and having an attorney general implore fed prosecutors to pursue the death penalty in marijuana cases where it was applicable. While I don't agree with her sentence, we literally live in a country that can execute you for marijuana

Well LeBron, if she hadn't brought something illegal into that country she wouldn't still be there. It wouldn't bother me if she does get released at some point but the truth is she broke their laws, not America.

She's a victim of her own choices

Ya know, LiAngelo Ball shoplifted in China and we got him home.

ASAP Rocky faced bogus prosecution in Sweden and we got him home.

I wonder what was different in those cases...

LeBron James says Brittney Griner's been in captivity for way too long without the U.S. bringing her home, so if he were the WNBA star, he'd question returning to America.

Bron made the comments during a recent taping of "The Shop" ... when the conversation apparently turned to the incarcerated American hoops star.

"Now, how can she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, 'Do I even want to go back to America?'"

It's clear LeBron doesn't believe the U.S. is doing nearly enough to bring BG home.


God, I hate "Bron."

Lebron’s people should have cut him off on the political takes a long time ago. This is pure stupidity.

To all the entitled athletes, feel free to move to another country if you think things will be any better. We've heard this song and dance from actors and actresses, but it's weird how none of them have moved.

Here's a novel concept, educate yourself, learn the laws of the foreign country you are in, and follow them and that person wouldn't be in prison.

When you are a political prisoner of a foreign country, it is not only on the USA in this deal. That country wants something in return and will string this out as long as they can to get that return.

I mean we quite literally have declared economic war on Russia and think they would just be nice about this
Not just that, it's not like any negotiations are going to be public for us all to know about.

That's the other thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Griner and her family/friends will be and should be happy and celebrating. But overall it's going to be hailed as some great thing when the reality is her stupid actions will cause a really bad dude to go free. It should be a much more somber "coming home party" as a whole IMO. She fricked up and people will probably die at the hands of the person we free because of it.

She was over in Russia for the same reason LeBron was PISSED that Morey pissed off the CCP over Hong Kong…

They get tons of money for being in that market and playing games, doing appearances, etc.


The reason LeBron lost his shite over the Hong Kong comments was that he had blown off annual commitments in China earlier that year to film Space Jam 2 and intended to fulfill them when the Lakers were over there for an exhibition.

Morey’s comments caused a shitstorm and put the players under lockdown, meaning he couldn’t fulfill his commitments and lost money as a result.


He wasn’t pissed over Morey “being uneducated” about Hong Kong, he was pissed someone cost him money he had plans for.

Having your arse kissed since you were in HS, if not before, tends to warp your perception of the world.

Lebron should have himself locked in a Russian prison in solidarity.
