How is she going to pay child support to her wife if she`s locked up for 5-10 years?
Let's wait for the trial before we pass judgement, although NOT denying attempting to
bring drugs into Russia MAY be a hint of her guilt!
It would be a STORY if USA admitted she had the drugs on her. Of course smuggling (attempt to)
into Russia is pretty stupid. She has played for years in Russia so she knows the laws! 5-6 years is about right.
Hmm, she violated Russian law and was arrested. There is nothing "unlawful" about arresting the unlawful. The US needs to stop agitating for WW3.
Perhaps if the US offered a swap. We'll give Russia Nancy Pelosi and they give us Griner?
LOL, so is the US going to stop arresting drug smugglers now? The US has become nothing more than a clown show.
Didn't she…..do it though? Lol
Bring my Black American Queen home
Wait it's soldiers and American citizens who have been held longer than Griner! Why are they giving special treatment to her and only her!!! What about others who don't have a sports name or some fame who have families waiting for them too! If she comes home then other American citizens should be with her! Great job there protecting everyday Americans. Americans who worked for the USA.
"Don't Do The Crime If You Can't Do Tha Time."
If I remember correctly she tried to enter their country with an illegal substance. That was reported.
You smuggle drugs at a secure airport in Russia get caught and arrested and now you are wrongfully detained. Get bent. She disdains our flag and our country. Leave her there. Send her a care package with pictures and words of her disrespecting the country she thinks should now save her. She is not worthy.
