She will want to sue the vape and luggage companies when she eventually gets out.

Perfect time to legalize cannabis and then say it was accident and trade her for vodka.

Do we know if it had THC or was it just CBD cause both are illegal in Russia... But it's okay for Russians to dope up their athletes with illegal substances both banned in Russia and the Olympic committee and the tour de France people.

Double standard.

It's not our place to dictate to Russia what their laws should be. You know what could have avoided this entirely? Griner not breaking the law in their country.

I know, personal responsibility isn't exactly in you left wingers wheelhouse but it would have worked for her

No, you’re an idiot for equating griner being jailed for vape cartridges with America’s drug war.

None of that is really any of our business though.

If she wouldn't have had weed in her stuff she wouldn't be in jail. This has nothing to do with how much she is paid. Don't break laws and you won't go to jail.

This board had a very different take a few years ago when Otto Warmbier was arrested in North Korea.

A Russian court on Thursday found the American basketball star Brittney Griner guilty of an attempt to smuggle illegal narcotics into Russia and sentenced her to nine years in a penal colony, according to her lawyers. The verdict ended a closely watched trial that her supporters say made her a pawn in a tense geopolitical showdown over the war in Ukraine.

Makes sense why Russia was unresponsive to the State Dept.'s offers

Let the process play out knowing a ridiculous sentence was coming down - increases leverage
