I know we’re a special place. You know we’re a special place. And now IT will know we’re a special place.

It went out of it’s way to point out that “we” are not the same, so it can save the “one of us” bullshite.

The only thing that would make her getting a 10 year sentence in Russia, would be for the Russians to give her a cell phone to access her Twitter account so her clueless minions could get a daily report on what actual oppression looks like.

I'm a straight white man who is ex-military and votes Republican. Griner and her merry band of idiots think I should be dead or in a re-education camp for that.

Forgive me if I have zero sympathy for someone who pretty openly shits on the country that affords her the opportunity to live an upper middle class lifestyle even though she has no skills of any value other than being significantly taller than most women on the planet.

Any professional athlete who whines about being oppressed and about how mean and racist all of us white people are can get fricked. Griner and the rest of the flag kneelers insulted me personally as someone who served in the military, and now that piece of shite is learning first hand what oppression really is.

I don’t like BG and she made the stupid move of thinking just because laws don’t apply to her in America they won’t apply to her in Russia.

But I don’t want her to get more time than what a Russian citizen would get for the same crime. If that’s five or ten years or two months whatever the average Russian gets is what BG should get v

I wouldn’t wish a Russian trial or prison term on anyone. Well, maybe Soros but that’s it.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I also don't want her to get less time because she is an American "celebrity".

I’m skeptical that anyone planted anything on her.

There are dozens of basketball players from the US playing in Russia. As with every other country, men’s basketball is a bigger draw and the top teams have multiple American players. Besides Griner, every single one has been able to leave the country without a problem and no one else has faced trumped up charges.

Pretty sure neither she nor anyone in her camp have claimed the drugs were not hers and that they were planted. If they had been, I think we would have heard that from someone by this point.

If this was Luka Doncic, the board would be rioting. There would be prayer threads everyday. "IT WAS JUST A F**KING VAPE PEN! THEY ARE LEGAL EVERYWHERE HERE! HE PROBABLY EVEN HAS A PERSCRIPTION FOR HIS PEN! LUKA PROBABLY DIDNT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TO BE JAILED! RUSSIA IS A BUNCH OF TYRANTS AND WE SHOULDN'T STAND FOR THIS RUSSIA IS JUST MAKING A SHOW OF THIS TRIAL! THE COPS THERE TAKE BRIBES EVERY SINGLE DAY ON CRIMES AND LET PEOPLE GO FOR CRIMES MUCH WORSE! LUKA BE BRAVE WE LOVE YOU AND WE'RE PRAYING FOR YOU TO COME HOME SOON AND SAFE! F**K PUTIN!!!"

But Britney Griner. "Screw that kneeling dumb bitch queer this will teach her."

I can all but guarantee she will blame Donald Trump, white America and the NBA for not paying her enough so she was forced to play in Russia.

Weird to see you support what you fought against and also supposedly hate?

Supporting someone being punished for breaking the law? Yes. I don't want to see her get treated differently, for better or worse, just because she is American.

It cracks me up when someone who is very much not oppressed bitches and whines about how awful this country and the people in it are. Someone who gets paid an upper middle class salary and lives a better, more luxurious lifestyle than 99% of the world's population whining about how bad they have it just doesn't sit right with me.

She calls a country that bends over backwards to cater to people like her oppressive while she toils away in a Russian prison. I appreciate and laugh at the irony.

Not at all. I'm not a fan of Griner, the WNBA, LGBTQ, her political stance, Biden, etc. But I also am not letting that cloud my judgement as far as whether or not she should be sitting in a Russian prison for four months because of a vape pen. The board would have a completely different opinion of it if it was a player that they like instead of a player they hate.

Again the only reason she was playing in Russia is because she was beating her girlfriend otherwise she would still be in the Wnba she been playing there for a while she knows the law she broke them nobody wants a Wnba as a political prisoner she's not worth anything
