I wonder if she regrets her national anthem stance lol…Why should anyone fight for you when you hate this country? At least you can smoke weed here
SHE IS ANTI- AMERICA KEEP HER NINE YEARS. SHE IS TOO LOW KEY TO EVEN CONSIDER.
Baby girl begging to come back to a country that she deems oppressive and racist and homophonic 🤔🤔 LMAO. What is that they say? Be careful what you wish for? Getting what she deserves.
I went to jail in Cambodia for simply being in the same PUBLIC restaurant that was selling d r u g s and I happened to be there during the raid. I passed a urine test and they still wouldn’t let me go, had to stay a few days and pay $2500 for my freedom.
In America only 2 kinda people have rights.
Gays and Whites. Hes gay so they will fight for him.
Theres a lot of disgruntled people in this comment section 🤣
Stay there, you hate America maybe you wiil love Russia! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
which population (m/f) will this dude serve with…….
GRINER HUGE CHOSE DISRESPECTED OUR USA IE OUR ANTHEM=LEAVE HER IN RUSSIA
THIS FACIST RULED RUSSIA EXACTLY IS GOP DT GOAL FOR USA SC SHUTDOWN ELECTION FOREVER
That guy is staunchly anti american.why trade a criminal for another criminal.let her spend her next 9 years in a russian gulag. No help from america that he despise.his anti American rant are now rewarded in full by a 9 nine year free food and cell in a Siberian gulag.bless you more!!
Prisoner swap!?!? Keep her she can take a knee over there😂✊🏿
I wish this hadn't happened in Russia 😥. I wish she had tried this in Malaysia or Singapore 🙄
Being black plus American😂 your just toasted infront off a Russian judge
Yes! Thank you Russia! 😆😆🤣🤣
Dear Russia, please do not send her back. She is your problem now.
She's a criminal and should do his or her time. She is a communist that hates America and he or she should stay there where she belongs. + She's z
A woman I believe that has no morals so 9 yrs is like a trip to Disneyland because shs lock up for 9 yrs in a woman's prison so she probably doesn't want to back to a country she hates. The fraudulent beast in chief being a criminal himself will probably try to get her release but she's in a better place
Perhaps they can make a trade but not with the arm dealer they should trade her for a real criminal like Joe Biden before he finishes destroying America.Lets make America great again
Other then her family who doesn't want to see her sit in prison?! Every comment ive seen on different clips all say she should sit in prison. How does it make sense to trade a terrorist for a stupid person?
Nop . Well done russia
She broke the law so how does she rate special favor in a swap?
Bye
Lol… Bidumb
Were cannabis legal in the states, I might have taken this case seriously. Don't be hypocrites.
You don't get the special treatment in Russia like you do here lmao
Well look on the bright side, once her new 9 years contract is up Comrade Griner will be able to speak perfect Russian.
let her suffer in Russian Prison, she straight up hates America Do the crime do the Time
How was she imprisoned wrongly? It is obviously bogus, and I am wondering if the other is suspiciously implied as falsely imprisoned as well.
Take a knee…so USA isn’t as bad as u make it to be
Yeah!! Totally justified that a somewhat star gets all the possible support of her nation after she knowingly brought drugs into a country she traveled frequently to, whereas some other “nobodys “just sit in their jail cells watching the unfairness of politics.
Dont trade for a killer!
😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Can anyone answer the following: Does Brittney Griner have any previous convictions in the United States?
that's what she gets for being such a disrespectful ungrateful see you next thursday
This is draconian! In the words of Thurgood, "All that for some weed!" #FreeBrittney
This is a bunch of fake BS!!! She's known as the queen of Russia. She's been arrested in Russia before. Notice how she has a different stylish t-shirt on every time she comes in. She's not in a cell she's in a nice comfy apartment.
She will be Queen of Russia.She Will Be Praised,She Will Love it there.Russians Love Her.She will be alright.This Outcome will be Worth it for Her.
