Britney Griner gets 9 years…

Russia's laws on weed are insanity. Lets get that out in the open
But the people who think that she should be subject to our laws instead of theirs are just too much
And there are people in jail in the US for longer sentences for the same crime. We should work on that first rather than causing an international incident because someone is good at a sport.
Is this situation being taken advantage of by the Russian government? Absolutely. We need to be smarter than to fall for it

It wasn't that long ago that ours were equally insane. People went to prison for a few joints in some instances. I'm betting there are still a lot of people rotting in prison for small quantities of weed in some backwoods/hick State. Biden pointing his fingers at the Russians, considering our Federal marijuana laws, is some serious hypocrisy.
Solid flex - so much cooler sounding than “pocket knife.”
it WAS indeed a gift to Putin.
i can't help but wonder how many Ukrainians this doomed.
i didn't know she was outspoken politically...i wonder what she
thinks of the good 'ol USA now...?
travel broadens. in one poo-hole country that i visited i used to toss change
(me BIG spender) to a (seemed like) teenage mom of three who sang from the
same traffic island daily. that i was so rich to do so kinda rattled me.
cause i wasn't rich and had never entertained the notion that i was...
It would be ironic if one of those people rotting in hick prison for weed was a Russian/Soviet citizen. Good trade opportunity right there.
I have not met anyone outraged by this. I haven't even heard anyone talk about Griner except on this message board and NPR. Most people here think she was an idiot to not be more careful.
Sounds like she's going to be in jail or a labor camp for a while.
Trading some Russian war criminal for her? Hell no.
What about Westbrick? He'll have time to work on his shot to get up to a 15% 3-pt shooter (might need more than 9 years, though), the Lakers get a bench player that we can match up with DeMarcus Cousins on isolation plays just for fun.

Never will I ever . . .
Go to Russia, China, or the Middle East.

This is of national importance?
Kinda with everybody else on the possession thing, "what was she thinking" would be my line of thought. It's really one of those moments where libs ended up with serious egg on their faces. Since when do we live in a world where a notoriously liberal basketball player believes (along w/her supporters) that she can just say "it wasn't mine" and be allowed to walk? Why does she expect precedent for ignoring the laws of a country she's visiting, didn't her agent warn her?
This whole saga is in the spirit of that darknet prick, Ross Ulbricht from Texas who was arrested by the FBI for running Silk Road and was incarcerated for the rest of his life despite claiming the site was just a medium for people to meet up and exchange goods and services? The DOJ promptly told his wokester supporters to go screw themselves despite threats to hold a nationwide breath holding until he was freed.
