  1. You should have been left there. You broke the law of another country and found guilty. You do not deserve to be out

  2. biden wrote an executive order just for brittney in case she does it again.

  3. Well. She got to live out her ultimate fantasy. She always wanted to be a real victim. Be held down., you know. Wonder if she's still going to sit out the American Anthem. If she doesn't, that'll show weakness. Selling out. Caving in.

  4. Should have left the transgender bastard over there

  5. Britney griner is definitely a man

  6. They gave this moron the same award as Pat Tillman??? How woke have we become? I wanna puke 🤢. Cant wait to get tickets to boo and heckle her

  7. TOTAL SHAME LET THE GUILTY who hates our countryFREE AND KEPT AN INNOCENT MARINE who loves are country in JAIL

  8. Next time don't bring weed on a plane, glad we let a psycho out for this tall bitch basketball played what a joke!!

  9. What is this ABC, the Accolades for Biden Corporation?

  10. Anybody else wonder why our government PRE BIDEN, negotiated to get the blinking actual traitor who walked off HIS post back but only USED Ms. Grinder as currency in what looks way too much like a male circle jerk among powerful politicians? A deal was made AGAIN. No matter what we think we know, we'll never hear the whole story. All we have are opinions.

  11. Paul Whelan, the Marine, termination of USMC service; from open source records;
    ‘After a court martial conviction in January 2008 on multiple counts related to larceny Whelan was sentenced to 60 days restriction, reduction to pay grade E-4, and a bad conduct discharge. Specifically attempted larceny, 3 specifications of dereliction of s mm duty, making a false official statement, wrongfully using another’s social security number, ten counts of making and uttering checks without sufficient funds in his account for payment.’

  12. I think the best lesson kids can to learn from this is to respect the laws of where ever you are and understand and be culturally sensitive. Im glad she is home safe and well

  13. They should have left her. Why would she bring vapes to Russia?

  14. What silence she broke the law tf 😂

  15. I'm done watching ABC now! Yuk send the dirt bag that hates American back to Russia please!

  16. Bro that's some bull crap if that was anyone else they would b stuck there!,thats not right why?! Cause she famous

  17. Smh couldn’t stand for the pledge of allegiance, but we trade a terrorist to free her instead of the guy who actually kills terrorists for our country smh if I was him when I was freed I wouldn’t even want to come back to America, and I’ll tell you one thing, I’ll never join our military, and will happily go to jail in the scenario there is a draft

  18. The IT Clown Speaks. "Who cares what your none American loving Ass has too say!" Russia should have kept you!

  19. Maybe that dude will start appreciating America now

  20. So really it's just two white bitches talking. Ok

  21. Leave all trump supporters to rot in jail

  22. we are done with ABC.. u rather have a basketball star instead of true Americans she dont have a plat form..

  23. I never knew about this woman until she got arrested and it was all in the news. her platform can't be that big.

  24. Why isn’t she going to prison over here ?

  25. Good thing we heard Britney grinder speak out. Click bait.

  26. She is a junkie and she belongs in the streets.

  27. well the bar set for “trades” is MAX. very bad deal

  28. She should have stayed there she deserved it don't do the crime if your not willing to do the time

  29. Why why her and not the marine that loved and serviced his country. Not some over privileged mediocre athlete who can't stand America. I'll never understand this.

  30. This country is so lost it’s sad

  31. I think this pathetic and I can't believe how much focus is on this idiot especially with everything going on in this world. She should be banned from the sport, she obviously doesn't appreciate it. Who the heck watches female basketball anyway. It's ridiculous to even talk about this, what a waste of a story.

  32. So nobody will watch her play

  33. Russian news outlets LAUGHED quote:
    "We SPIT on our HEROS and treasure our criminals, we abandoned a man dedicated to serving his fatherland US for a black lesbian drug addict" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ they also said "white hetero men are the new US Minorities" while LAUGHING….

  34. She "spoke out"? Where is the speech? She gotta get back on them hormones to switch out of the man voice I guess. Takes time I suppose.

  35. Fucking nighex, she should still be in prison
