Don't hate your country and then want it to help you. Why would we want someone that hates our country and everything about it? She should be happy now. I'm happy for her getting away from our terrible country. Lucky her

Come on man on him thought she was a male.
Didn't sign up for it?
Just 10 years. At least she won't be subjected to the National anthem.
No tax money should be spent on a criminal who dissed the American flag and didn’t think America is good enough for her. Above all, she is a criminal.
Bye Brittney, see you in 10 years. You are not special and you should do your time just like any other drug smuggler. You are also NOT a political prisoner or a military service member.
What kind of idiot brings drugs or drug paraphernalia or drug residue into a foreign country? You played basketball in Russia so you knew the laws.
Let this be a lesson to everyone, don't break the law especially in a foreign country.
I'M WONDERING IF U.S. CUSTOMS WILL LET SOMEONE GO AT THE AIRPORT IF THEY BRING CANNABIS VAPES😌😂😂 i mean you can go to jail if you bring an ORANGE 🍊 😂😂😂
So she bounces a ball, therefore she should get special treatment under Russian law?
🤣🤣 America is looking pretty good now Britney, isn't it? Maybe you shouldn't have protested the National Anthem. Maybe BLM can help you out, probably not though since they stole all the donations and bought houses and other luxury items.
Don't go to another country and break their laws if you don't want to get jailed. She needs to take some responsibility for her actions.
Go sip some grape drank and let it go brother
His child his child is locked up and for what? She is a criminal caught drug smuggling smoking that in Russia what a role model
10 years in prison 🤣 Don't care either way
Yawn, haven't black women spent the last 50 plus years claiming that they are strong, totally independent black women who are never, ever going to need a man of any kind for anything no matter what eventuality presents itself and further claiming that black men need to, "Get you a white woman!"
Don't break laws in communist countries.
We put to much emphasis on sports, giving impressiveness or importance to brain dead dummies. Brittney Griner, attempted to smuggle drugs into Russia,and got caught. Some countries take laws seriously, guess she found that out. She;s a nobody in Russia! Not sure thats a woman. Is that a woman? Its over for this over grown fool. What the heck do we want her for? She put America down in every way possible with her BIG MOUTH when she was here. Let Russia have her, go there and break laws. How do you like AMERICA NOW DUMB A$$? Good Riddiance.
Next time I get arrested , I'm gonna ask for a prisoner exchange.
This world is. Crazy , she's a criminal , she smuggled drugs through U.S. custom to Russia and then trying to bring some drugs back. How is America standing up for her ? Even her team ?
Funny. I saw so many comments of people accusing Russia of planting the drugs and saying that she probably doesn't do drugs. Now, she admits it and said it was an accident. LOL
I hate Russia just as much as the next civilized human being, but when you go to other countries, you have to follow their laws or pay the price. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
https://youtu.be/RZBPTutck1A here’s what brittney has to say
Biden only cares about helping Ukraine
It is stupid to think that violating another country's laws would not have consequences. She was caught, fame doesn't give you a get out of jail free card. Regardless of anything you do wrong you have to pay the piper!
FREE BRITTNEY!!! ✊✊✊
I'm a black man she should pay for what she did I'm tired of these people with money getting by and the poor people go to jail and the rich ones get let loose they should set an example with her she was ignorant and stupid and she should pay for that.
They need to set an example with her to let all the American athletes know. That they can't go everywhere and just be transferring drugs back to United States because of who they are. They need to set a world example with this girl. Athletes ain't no better than nobody else they just got more money. That was dumb what she did.
what i got from that he is saying her life is more important than a soldier life
She's pleated guilty but is asking the president of the United States to not let her have any consequences for her crime. Sadly, he'll probably cave in to political pressure and bail her out. The irony! Not long ago, she refused to sing the National Anthem at her games.
Everybody gangsta until he is detained for drug smuggling.
Just common sense not to carry drugs flying worldwide, no?
This is just a misdemeanor! Putin is playing politics!!😮
