  1. Even now she won’t take responsibility. What an entitled person.

  2. I'm not sure her Black privilege is going to work there….. how's America looking to you now Brittany????? Still hate it!

  3. I’m sorry officer I was packing so fast I put that eight ball in my flashlight instead of the batteries. 😂😂.

  4. Of course she did, otherwise she would have not done it. She thought she was untouchable.

  5. She broke the law do the crime do the time America sto supporting criminals

  6. She hated the land of the free. Bye

  7. Privileged athlete getting more attention than a soldier needing a prisoner exchange. SHAME on those who support this guilty behavior!

  8. The "I didn't mean it" defense. Brilliant.

  9. I really doubt brittany cares about laws anywhere.

  10. I have a proven suggestion folks. We need Dennis :the menace " Rodman to deal with this case man. Let Biden send him to Putin and bring Roman's entourage that played with dear friend Kim in North Korea.

  11. Lock her up! Drug smuggling deserves hard time.

  12. DISGUSTING 🤮🤮🤮👹👹👎👎👎💥💥💣💣 POLITICS…..

    LET HER ROT IN RUSSIAN JAIL🤢🤢🤮🤮🥵🥵🥶🥶😵😵🤯🥳😨😨😱😱😭😭

  13. She absolutely had every intention to break the law. She just didn't intend on getting caught. Here is someone who does not contribute to society in any way, broke the law in Russia, and we should do something about it? Hell no.

  14. I thought getting on a plane in the US with Marijuana was still illegal on a Federal Level, so shouldn't she be tried again once she gets back to the states. All the research I did on the matter led me to stay clear from bringing my medication to another state even if legal in that state, I will buy some there or use pain killers if illegal there. I sure wouldn't get anyone going oh free him he didn't know it was against the law, they would say ignorance of the law is no excuse and prosecute me anyways so why should anyone feel sorry for her? She made the choice, she gets to deal with the consequences, maybe stay home next time instead of being greedy to make money off a foreign country that doesn't even hold any the values she supposedly believes in but I guess money is more important than her values. I can't feel sorry for someone that can't live off 200k a year and then gets busted for being a dumb ass, take any non-athlete/famous person and put in same situation probably never hear about it.

  15. If you’re dumb enough to go to a foreign country then you’re on your own!

  16. Wow.. not the brightest bulb in the pack…

  17. Let her rot in Russia. Tired of entitled athletes getting away with so much.

  18. Why the heck would someone want to go to Russia ? And I don't buy the "Oops" I forgot excuse. You are going to a Totalitarian dictatorship, and you leave some dope in your suitcase ?

  19. the CIA has no law enforcement function and is officially mainly focused on overseas intelligence gathering, with only limited domestic intelligence collection.
    I think Russian officials should release Ms Griner after the WNBA All Star game is over!

  20. F**K her, keep her there one less America hating POS we have to worry about. #notsorrythatimnotsorry.

  21. If I was Putin I wouldn’t Exchange for her you do the crime you do the time & how are you going to release her first & you have other Americans over there that been locked up before her. That seems unfair to me

  22. For all the opportunities and greatness this country allows any individual to have and become, not wanting to do the bare minimum of having the U.S national anthem sang at your games, is an act of treason on my watch. They can keep her.

  23. Yet she did break their law. Too bad America does not enforce laws.

  24. If she has been playing on a team in Russia on the off season of the United States, she knows the laws on this matter. We want everyone who comes here to obey the law, the same should be expected everywhere we go around the world.

  25. She never liked America until she needed it. Toooooo bad.

  26. If you don’t understand why it’s a big deal I will try to explain.

    Yes in Russia, cannabis in any form is illegal. It is also illegal to travel with it. However, their law states that a person possessing less than 6 grams of cannabis or two grams of hash (smaller allowance due to higher THC content) can be fined or jailed for up to 15 days.

    She was in possession of 0.702 grams and at this point she’s been held for 5 months. That’s why it’s unlawful detainment and the US gov is involved. She is also not the only unlawfully held US citizen in Russia, China, and Iran currently.

    Her legal team advised her to plead guilty in hopes of a lesser sentence by showing she accepts responsibility for possessing the vape cartridges.

  27. Griner is a man and criminal

  28. She’s lying and they know it. She played basketball in Russia for years, she knew the laws, she knew she was breaking the law and did not care. She has no respect for her own country or Russias laws either. Putin is not going to put up with that kind of disrespect in his country from a American fool who broke the law in Russia and got caught.

  29. Oh, well, she said she didn't mean to! So she's good right? All changes dropped because "she didn't mean to"

  30. 99 percent conviction rate? Almost as bas as the Cardassians
