1. I'm glad to see that B.G. Isn't forgotted!!!

2. Maybe she should have not taken drugs to to Russia. If she commits a crime she has to pay for it !! No get out of jail card here!! free the marine instead

3. This comment section is filled with ignorance it’s horrible all y’all talking that bs would not feel the same if it was someone in your family stuck in Russia during a time like this what part of wrongfully detained you idiot’s don’t understand smh free her

4. LeBron has no business being in Russia he would never put himself in that situation and then try bringing contraband into another country ugh yeah you're gonna get in trouble

5. I think this is completely and utterly f*** up what they're doing to her and she is being used as a political pawn but I really wish they would stop using the narrative if she was an NBA player they would do something as if her being a WNBA player isn't the only reason we're hearing about this trust me if I was being detained in Russia we wouldn't even got this interview I would just be detained in Russia

6. Funny they bring up steph curry, lebron, then say how if she women got paid more in wnba she wouldn't be in Russia. Well, how about you don't break the law I'm russia because nba superstars and players know the consequences of breaking the law anywhere.

7. Consequence #2,345 of voting for a weak president because you don’t like mean tweets. Trump would have had him home 2 days later. No balls Biden has no chance and no respect,

8. BG?

9. I want them to say her name more and not "Brittney Griner's wife" so often. She's a person too

10. Wife,lol..the world we live in smdh

11. Let me GUESS: She’s AGAINST Griner’s detainment???

12. I wish we knew whether Brittney admits having the drugs or not. Also, how much cannabis oil? Was it a lot or just residue? Do they think it was planted? Robin could have asked these questions. These interviews don’t help without some details on the actual charges

13. Tell me more about these drug charges? Are they legitimate?

    See you in ten years, then.

14. She’s not wrongfully detained, she’s in jail for trafficking drugs.

15. Let her do her time in her country 🇷🇺

16. it's never looked good for griner in this situation since the jump
    1. she's detained in an anti LGBT country
    2. she's a minority
    3. she broke the law

17. You should "head on out" and go be with her.

18. No one cares

19. How about not doing the Crime if you can't do the Time. BG has played in Russia she knew the Consequences of bringing Drugs into the Country. Biden has put Sanctions on Russia and Sided with Ukraine i don't think Putin will deal with Biden. How can you want more money to play in the WNBA if your League loses millions of dollars every year. You can't live on $225,00 a year i live on ALOT LESS.

20. Don’t do drugs where you shouldn’t:. No one cares about wnba. So boring. But it’s her own fault. Bets it’s weed

21. Free Brittney Griner she did nothing wrong

22. Who cares

23. She's probably having fun with a Russian lady, so don't worry ok

24. Brittany just need to accept the fact that she is not smarter than the Russians, trying to sneak some weak as oil into the country, like that was gonna get her high, lol. She had one job, play ball and stay out of trouble, couldn't do it. Now she wishes that the country she refused to acknowledge come and help her, don't think so. Hard time in Siberia for Brittany, she is not above the law.

25. This is simple do not feel sorry for her. I traveled to Florida from WA. I made a point to not travel with Weed. I smoke daily and am responsible. This is not a story because she made a mistake. If you travel overseas you are "subject to the lands of the job". She went in Feb when we knew the war was on the brink. You make your bed and lay in it. She is not a POW and as a veteran, I don't think she is a top priority. Let this be a lesson to anyone use common sense this could have been avoided.

26. Get real 🤣can’t live off WNBA money? Took hash vape pins thru customs! Sounds like someone wants a pitty party. Watch an episode of locked up abroad. It’s never a good idea. Stop blaming for poor choices.

27. Question:
    why does your wife talk and look like a man??🤔🤔🤔

28. Don't break the law in other countries………🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

29. Lmao 🤣 keep her dumbass

30. Brittney thought…Um! Let's see if I can Sneek Drugs into Russia! Oops! My bad. I'm sorry. Can I go Home now! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS GIRLS FROM THIS MEAN OLD WORLD! NO HAVE SENSE OF REALITY, TAKES OVER! Cry us a River, Dum Dum! PERVERTED FOOL.

31. WONDERING IF LEBRON WAS OVER THERE IN BRITTNEYS SITUATION HOW THIS WHOLE THING WOULD BE RIGHT NOW

32. Ya sorry black lives don't matter in russia, neither do white or any other race.

33. It makes me feel good to see Mrs. Cherelle Griner speak out about her wife it touches me hard to know what BG is going through I believe Britney Griner custody and Russia is something that needs to be talked about every day until she is freed .

    It do not matter what we are getting when she is freed what matter to us is she is free

    I'm not a fan but I think as if I was a friend

    Family/ friends go hard for BG use your platform to speak about it FREE Brittany BG Griner

34. She should actually count her blessings. She has some of the best lawyers she can hire, the State Dept. is keeping an eye on the situation, and that she didn't commit this crime where the penalty is death. We all learn from our mistakes. Use the time wisely to get off drugs and you will find that you might not need to go to Russia to supplement your drug funds. The WNBA has said little about their rule about using marijuana. As a US citizen, at a time we are at hostile relations with Russia, I'd pick and chose what special favors we ask of Russia right now. Save it for the important stuff. I am also very surprised that we haven't heard too much from the LGBT groups.

35. Why should president help her get out? Why does she feel privileged? She aint no different than the avg american stuck in russia. I swear the nerve of some people acting like she has more value than everyone else. Plus she broke the law, so she deserves all this.

36. Scissor me timbers

37. I would like to know the entire story: was she the only player (out of all of the players in the world that play part time in Russia) to be detained, was she bringing revenue to Russia, why would Russia want to stop the money flow, was she transporting THC cartridges? If these charges are bogus then NO PLAYER IN THE WNBA WOULD EVER PLAY IN RUSSIA. There are a lot of bogus and crooked systems in the world but there are rules that even crooked systems comply with. Ex: Jessie Smollett
    Now women/players in the WNBA know the truth about the situation and if any player travels to play there next year (while she'll still be detained there), that's when you know that the charges aren't bogus. Money talks and she listened, that's why she was there in the first place. We as Americans have become increasingly dumb when it comes to celebrating "heroes/heroines", it's evident in social media that we don't promote intelligent actions. Media outlets must be careful of the promotion of Brittany Griner because it may purssway people to look at her past and allow the court of public opinion to take over. We all know how powerful that is, part of the problem. Now bring the negative opinions…..
