Oh so she thought because she's an athlete she can get away with anything just like at home in the racist USA?

Yes, pointing out the situations are vastly different is exactly the same thing as crying about it. Morons.

Her net worth is "only 17 mil" to play a game where the professional league averages 4000 fans.



And I would question even 4K per game as a legit number. The WNBA only exists because it is subsidized entirely by the NBA who forces sponsors and networks to pony up in a package deal.

If the NBA cut ties with them today they might make it 2 more years with sympathizers keeping them alive out of some misguided sense of fairness, but eventually they would realize what a hopeless money pit it is and move on.

NOBODY WATHCHES OR CARES. It's a poor product.

You can't be serious. One check counter over there was probably a guy slipping a cop some money for the same thing. Also, YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH SHE HAD ON HER. It's crazy how many people on here act like they know what Russia's punishment is for a vape pen.

It's crazy how out of touch people are on here with something as basic as weed. People calling her an addict, saying she is smuggling drugs, doing smack (thats heroin), suggesting that she should have bought it in Russia

There's a stupid vape shop on almost every street now. It also can be medically prescribed by a doctor. Also, if you're using a pen, it's 10x more expensive to get high that way than just smoking weed so it's not like it was something she was probably sitting around smoking all day. Most people that are prescribed a pax pen take 2-3 puffs per day. And you don't get high from it.

I don't really recall her saying some stupid shite, but I also don't follow the wnba.

I do in a theoretical sense. But the sense of empathy is greatly diminished because I think she'd be a terrible and rude person to encounter.

She also had a domestic violence issue with her partner that implies she is not a very nice person

Don’t know her, don’t care. But I’ll say, if you’re chasing money in a foreign land, you should probably play by the rules.

Thats irrelevant. I've used a pen and am also pro-weed. I don't agree with Russia's law, that's why I've never been and don't really plan to. If there was a circumstance where I did need or want to go, I wouldn't bring any weed with me.

She'll probably be comparably, media celebrated and rich for life like Kaepernick after serving her time.

That wasn't in regards to Russia. It was in regards to how obviously clueless people on this board are when it comes to weed. But you knew that.

Again, I haven't once said what she did wasn't incredibly stupid. I don't doubt that you are 10x smarter than her. That doesn't change the fact that Russia's punishment for a vape pen isn't ridiculous and no doubt not defined or consistent.
