Dude that voice, it's a man
WE ARE TIRED OF THIS BRITNEY NEWS!!! What is so important about her to make the headline news everywhere???? Because it happened in Russia???? ENOUGH OF THIS PROPAGANDA!
Womp Womp
If the drugs were for her personal use its nobody business what she eat, smoke or drink !
Put Biden in jail for aiding and abetting a confessed criminal. Brattney is not above the law and neither are politicians. Put that in your pipe and smoke it
I agree she brought drugs into USSR 9yrs is way too long wut she have 50 cartridges or what? Anybody really know?it was intentional u packed your bag but no arms dealer for her noway
I spent almost two years in jail in the “greatest country in the world” for a dime sack of Mexican dirt weed. I didn’t smuggle it internationally the sentence of nine years seems actually fair. America has people in jail over this exact reason. Maybe we should release all our marijuana offenders before they release them. American hypocrisy at its best.
Some good news today
FREE BRITTANY!
Again, it's a well known fact that drugs can kill you or get you in trouble. STOP DOING DRUGS
So because she can kind of dunk she is worth trading an arms dealer? She messed up, she knew that was in her bag lol
Let this oppressed and victim stay. Play dumb games, win dumb prizes
I hope she get out but it's not fair to all the people in prison in America for the same crime
Eww 🤢 her voice sounds like a Men
Good news
its amazing me how many American are supporting this nonsense sentencing in the comments
Well as black man I say goodluck and goodbye Brittney have a nice stay in Siberia and may god bless the USA.
🇺🇸
If she was using medical marijuana we all know that the marijuana IS NOT TO LEAVE the state it was purchased in, period….. So it was not a mistake it was a liberals choice. LIBERAL JUSTICE 😁….
On the brightside, Griner has a wonderful opportunity to learn one of the most beautiful languages in the world !
🤣🤣🤣🤣Now "she" can hate the USA from afar. "She" was so oppressed in the USA 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
Rightfully detained but wrongfully convicted. Good luck Brittney. I'll pray 🙏 for you.
I bet IT won’t be doing that anymore lol !!! This is what you get when you kneel or set during the national anthem of the United States of America?
Why does she get support from us government? Anyone else gets left to rot.
I will NOT praise Russia for very many things, but I will "PRAISE" them for this.
Bout it much "MORE" important to the United States judicial system for HIS CRIMES than Griner is as a basketball player. KEEP him….FORGET her.
I wonder if her husband {quote un quote} will be waiting for her 9 years from now. She says she is soooo sorry for how this has affected her family and loved ones. The ONLY one she feels sorry for is HERSELF.
Who knows….MAYBE Russia has a "professional women's basketball team" in prison.
A "miscarriage" of justice ? "Wrongfully detained" ? Come on. She's getting what she deserves. 9 years is really NOT long enough no matter what country it's in. She KNEW what she was doing when she did it. TOO BAD….when she gets out and back to this land that she "loves" soooo much LOL, she will probably be TOO old to play professional basketball.
She didn't accidentally pack it she took it with intentionally. I'm a smoker due to health issues and I bring bud on my trips….she knew what she was doing. Enjoy your time in Russia 👌🏻
Jar Jar Binks is in prison in Russia. Even the rich and famous can't be above the law
Dumb
She’s a human being who is a good person. Don’t judge people when she is being used as a pawn by Russia (sad).
Unruly detained? She broke a law in another country what do you expect? But I agree 9 years is a bit much
Wtf you mainstream media. Everyone should abide to every law of one's country. Not her fault?! She brought in an illegal substance, whether intentional or not. So you say an honest mistake🤔🤔. I cant believe this mainstream media, wtf.
Not her fault? She brought in an illegal substance inside one's country! Whether intentional or not, its illegal to almost all country.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Russia isn't interested in a prisoner exchange. They've been offered Viktor Bout before and they say no. Russia isn't going to show weakness and follow US orders. It's naïve to believe that they will.
The reporter Patrick Reevell says her trial was not a real trial it was about holding someone hostage. So much for non biased reporting LOL. Such disrespect toward the Russian legal system. SMH No wonder U.S news show ratings are plummeting.
She is inocent…
Crimen is Rusia soldiers was killed more 350 Ukraine.. including woman pregnant..this is criminal…
Wow, the US is a clown act now. She even confessed and pled guilty. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. She freaking broke the law by smuggling drugs into Russia.
