Everyone celebrating her sentence is going to be in for a giantly rude awakening when she is swapped for the guy Lord of War was based on right before the mid-terms.

OK, she did spend a few months in a Russian hell hole, but she is going to be treated to glowing ESPN and WNBA courage award pieces for the rest of her life.

The White House will also trot her out to the Rose Garden for PR purposes in early-mid October and we will all be subjected to hundreds of tear-filled staged photos and videos, and athlete of the year awards at the ESPYs and Oscar red carpet appearances and Amnesty International ambassadorships and Netflix docs for eternity.

Enjoy it now because you will all be flying off the handle when she comes back to the US in about 6 weeks in exchange for one of the worst humans of the last 30 years.

She doesn't deserve her sentence, but are we positive Russia is going to cooperate? Honest question. Seems as if many think it's a forgone conclusion that this "swap" will be successful.

Yeah, I will rightfully be pissed because it will be yet another example of politicians valuing optics over pragmatism

Followed by weeks of working the TV show circuit propping her up as a "hero."

Seriously. With how weak Biden is, Putin will probably take Merchant of Death and just keep Greiner anyway just because he knows he can

The midterms will be really fun to watch right after this administration gives Russia back their Merchant of fricking Death

It will legitemetly be the best thing that ever happened to her from a monetary and career and fame standpoint.

Before she was arrested, really only people like the ones on this board and hardcore sports fans knew who Britney Griner was.

Now, she will be invited to Eyes Wide Shut parties with the Obamas and Ghislane Maxwell's replacement.

I really don’t think so. Maybe trade Lebron for her.

Makes sense. A WNBA player is more important than a guy subsidizing conflicts in Africa to kill thousands of black people.

Where's BLM to protest this?

BLM should change their name to BALM (Black American Lives Matter.). Nobody else.

I don’t enjoy that’s she’s in this situation and I think her sentence is very disproportionate to her crime, but you’re absolutely right about how this will be handled. She will be used for political gain by the Biden administration and in exchange for that she will receive a lifetime of praise from the sports world and beyond, endorsements and Netflix royalties.
