I love the OT rationale that because y’all don’t know who she is, nobody knows who she is

Before she got arrested, about 18 people not affiliated with the wnba knew who she was

Her 'platform' is having a blue checkmark on twitter

it's not like the WNBA is a big thing, I don't live under a rock but I don't know much about her, what's she done before this that anyone would?

Moral of the story, don’t break laws in other countries.

99% of America didn’t know who she was until she got arrested in Russia. And it would still be 99% if Russia hadn’t invaded Ukraine. Let’s be honest, the WNBA and its players will never be important to the average American.

I don't like her, but her punishment seems way too harsh for the crime she committed.

Grinder advocated for the arrest of cops who were present when Breonna Taylor was shot, including the arrest of the cops that didn't shoot Taylor. I doubt she would have cared one bit if those cops had been unfairly prosecuted.

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

wonder if she’s still considering staying there like Lebron said ?


At least for the next 8+ years she/he is.

Maybe in the future this should be required viewing by these dumb arse sports figures like this moron Griner. And they are considering exchanging an anti American arms dealer for this idiot?

Prosecutor Nikolai Vlasenko insisted that Griner packed the cannabis oil deliberately and asked the court to hand Briner a fine of 1 million rubles (about $16,700) in addition to the prison sentence.


That is like half her WNBA yearly salary.

People are saying if WNBA players were paid the same as NBA players then she would never have had to play in Russia


Well that is never going to happen because the WNBA doesn’t bring in that type of money and they require NBA to stay afloat

The biggest point in all of this that consistently being ignored is, why was she in Russia to begin with? I have been told by the media and do-gooders on here that the pro golfers who accepted the evil Saudi money to join the LIV tour were the worst athletes on Earth. Why is the fact BG has been cozying up to Putin and his gang while soiling her hands with Russian money never brought up? You can't claim the moral high ground when you sell your principles to authoritarian oligarchs.

I’m just casual sports fan, don’t watch WNBA and I’ve known about her since her days at Baylor.
