    Whoa! Are you telling me that doing stupid **** in foreign countries isn’t a good idea? What did that start?

    Wait, I didn’t mean basketballs I mean the bringing illegal stuff.

    Think going to Russia period was a silly and stupid idea. That country is incredibly racist.

    YOU have a source for your accusation.

    My Russian ex-wife thought Black people were beautiful
    and was repelled by Asian features.
    Even as they happen among Latinos.
    I have known other Russians with similar feelings


    Stupid was not respecting the drug laws in a foreign country

    On one hand, she did something knowingly stupid and is paying the price.

    On the other hand, seeing how many folks seem to get a kick out of her situation is kind of disgusting.

    Welp, she is black and gay.
    So, she deserves her punishment. /sarcasm

    Also, young and apparently very very naive.

    Sort of like those who enjoyed seeing simple trespassers at the Capitol held without bail for over a year?

    has one single person on this board said that? Cuz I’m pretty sure the reason a lot of people here don’t like her is because she’s an entitled ******* idiot.

    When have you met her? To make such a claim?
    Who on these boards ever heard of her before her incident?

    well, do you have to meet someone or can you just listen to their entitled rants and realize they’re a complete ****head? Because she’s been a mouthy idiot since before this started and she’s learned absolutely nothing since. Had she been a graceful, honest person who showed any pride in her country or actions things would be different.

    So you knew her before she went to Russia?
    Or you just watched snippets of her from sources of info that doesn't like her.

    oh I read quotes of hers. Who doesn’t like her? She’s black and gay, the most celebrated thing ever for no reason at all.

    this isn’t the 40’s where people are all mad about things like this any more.

    I grew up a stone's throw from Canada & knew as a young man to watch my Ps & Qs over there. In freaking Canada, long before Justin Castro. Griner's stupidity in a totalitarian regime is breathtaking, and her SJW tantrums re: the US & the national anthem have earned all the slings & arrows she's been getting.

    Someone should have told her when she landed in Ruskiistan that she was not in Kansas anymore.

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    We're not talking about Banderastan. There are millions upon millions of Asians in Russia.....aside from the millions of Asian tourists that visit every year.

    So she has to abide by the law, she can't play the race card, and she can't play the homophobia card, and she has to work long and hard every day? That would be a nightmare for just about any Democrat. But that part of her sentence for Republicans is a way of life. I mean, we abide the law, we don't play the race card, we don't play the homophobia card, and we work long and hard five and six days a week.

    That said. Even though I don't like anything the woman stands for. Nine years of prison labor is way too great a punishment for a little hash oil for personal use. Then again, if that's the law to which all Russians are subject. They can't very well let her skate away, while Russians convicted of the same crime, have to bear that punishment.

    Couldn't agree more. It's a bullshit sentence & I'll wager a year's pay it never would have been imposed if Brandon hadn't been throwing billions at Ukraine.

    I think the whole thing is totally stupid. Putin is using this to extract some concession. That’s what they do with spies, and Putin is doing the same thing. Griner is the unfortunate person who is caught in the middle.

    Progressives are so funny.
    "racism and homophobia" are the very least of her problems, where she is at.

    It's off topic but statistically females find Black features to be more attractive, whereas males find Asian features to be more attractive.
    The reason is that the Black race is a little bit more "masculine", while Asians are more "feminine". Even when it comes to evolutionary skin color, something many people may not realize is that female skin is just a tiny bit lighter in coloration than male skin color.

    It's totally true. I think the Russians would have still punished Brittney Griner, but maybe only with 2 or 3 years. But the authorities were probably pressured from higher up to make sure she got sentenced to much more time. They're hoping to use her as a "hostage" in a prisoner exchange.

    The U.S. has conducted many controversial arrests of Russian citizens who were in other parts of the world and had never even visited the U.S.

    You can read about Victor Bout:
    U.S. extending its legal jurisdiction into other countries, apparently
    and here's another American citizen whom the Russians gave a grossly excessive prison sentence to:
    American man sentenced to 9 years in Russia for drunken conduct

    She wouldn't stand for the National Anthem and now she wants the nation to come to her rescue. Doesn't matter that she's black, or does women. Get a grip!

    American prisons are not good places to be, can frequently be worse than most Americans assume them to be.
    Russian prisons are another level of worse.

    Russia is not like wealthy progressive Western European countries like the U.K.

    I personally think this woman deserves to spend some time in Russian prison, but maybe only like 5 or 6 months, not the 9 years she was sentenced to.
