My first thought was WTF was she doing in Russia? Then I read the following and thought FTB. She deserves to rot in a Russian jail and the star spangled banner she despises should let her.

“Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner and her teammate Brianna Turner both made comments Monday about why the WNBA, and sports altogether, should stop blaring “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games.”

Wanting people you disagree with to "rot in jail" over some ****ing hashish cause they said your racist magic song shouldn't be played before a basketball game lol.

so Constitutional. much freedom. very patriotic.
Her anti American ass shouldn’t have been in Russia and it can stay there as far as I’m concerned. She might start thinking America isn’t so bad after all now huh.

She made stupid comments, and is absolutely retarded to try to move drugs through a Russian airport, but she's still one of ours and cannot be "left to rot".

She tried to move drugs to another country.

She needs to face punishment for her crimes.

She literally plays basketball there. People are allowed to work and travel abroad.

Song and fabric worship (nationalism) is a goddamn disorder.

If you commit a crime in a foreign country...these are the consequences. There is little we can do for her

So you don't value our citizens, just an "anthem" being played? Sounds absurd. Like all your posts/threads.

She doesn’t value being a US citizen so let her woke ass rot in a Russian prison for ten years. When she gets out she’ll kiss American ground and stand for our anthem and flag. Some entitled snowflakes have to learn the hard way.

Why are you claiming she doesn't value being a U.S. citizen? Because she doesn't want the anthem played at sporting events? That's all kinds of absurd. Why do you post. You think this is just entertainment and you're here to yank liberal chains...you're one of those, are you?

We can impose sanctions and, if we get the opportunity, impound a Russain oligarch's yacht or two. Anything we are willing to do for Griner should be on a par with what we are willing to do for Ukraine.

Chances are it's just a setup by the Russian authorities for diplomatic leverage.
Could be but she gets no sympathy from me and Putin can do whatever he wants with her woke ass that shouldn’t have been in Russia in the first place.

American drug smugglers are in prisons around the world. What makes this anti American woke snowflake so special?

Please excuse the sarcasm. We aren't doing shit for Ukraine and should do the same for Griner.

Doesn't seem like that's OPs actual beef with Griner, just seems like it's an excuse for him to gloat.

Regardless, stupid authoritarian laws shouldn't be defended regardless of origin.

Why does a basketball star in the USA need a job in Russia?

This might blow your mind but athletes, and especially female basketball players, might want to play overseas occasionally because the WNBA actually doesn't pay them that much and the season is fairly short.

Candace Parker, for example, one of the best female basketball players of her generation, has played overseas in Russia, China, and Turkey in the WNBA offseason.

Also, this might be ****ing news to you, but a black female lesbian in America might not want to deepthroat the flag as much as you do and for very understandable reasons.
