  1. Should We Have Sympathy for Brittney Griner? —💯—a big fat NO!!!!!

    Feeling!!!!!! empathy for HER is disgusting.💣😱😱😭SHE DID THE CRIME SHE WILL DO THE TIME!!!

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

    SPECIALLY IN RUSSIA AT PRESENT 👎💥💥💣💣 US =+ NATO AGAINST RUSSIA IN UKRAINE!!!

    DISGUSTING 🤮🤮🤮👹👹👎👎👎💥💥💣BAD US POLITICS…..

  2. Important fact a privileged person must remember. Good etiquette and guideline, their house their rules. Brittany indicated she mistakenly took the cartriges, and I am sure if she got through Russian Customs and Border Protection then to the hotel and found the cartridges she would have thrown them out. Yeah in my dreams, she is like elite male athletes that feel they are above the law. She has bad minders at home.

  3. These Americans, the weirdest. Hopefully they'll straighten her out & she'll come back to some morals

  4. I don’t think trading a arms dealer for a basketball player is worth it, let her sit

  5. Griner the leader of sodom 2.0

  6. What does black have anything to do with this she committed a crime and should rightfully get the maximum 10 years

  7. If she was in the US and just an ordinary person she would easily get 5 to 7 years Russia must punish her to the full extent of the law she trafficked an illegal gateway drug

  8. THE USA SHOULD BE HANDS-OFF! NO NEGOCIATIONS! SO SIMPLE SHE IS TAKING IT, SHE BRINGS IT, WHY DO WE NEED TO HELP HER OUT! WHAT IS FAIR IS TO HELP OUT THOSE WHO NEEDED HELP AND WERE CONVICTED WRONGFULLY! SHE BRINGS IT TO HERSELF! SO WHAT IF SHE IS WNBA PLAYER? AGAIN SHE BRINGS IT TO HERSELF! USA HANDS OFF!

  9. Free #BrittneyGriner 🏀, Yeah I Said It. Should She Had Pled😳Guilty ? What has Biden Lied About ?

  10. I really wish my generation didn't show these boomers how to use the internet. They just ruin it with trying propagate their terrible ideas of morality into the future. Get with the times old farts no one cares about drugs and stop pretending this is about the law in a country that accepts bribes to look the other way. This is entirely about exchanging one war criminal for an America athlete stop pretending otherwise.

  11. Oops, Griner plead guilty and slow Joe is claiming “unlawfully detained?” Someone’s gonna get a dose of reality soon.

  12. Maybe it's not your first time( day vue)BOY .

  13. Not to worry folks. John John will be bouncing his balls off her backside for 10 long long years. And by the way, please tell that Russian judge that black lives matter and I voted for biden that sure will help your case

  14. Sorry but she broke the laws and now she is going to know what oppression means

  15. If this was some white spoiled kid y’all would say he should have known better. Just cause she’s a privileged basketball player doesn’t change anything. Seriously, what normal person would bring vape cartridges into another country, let alone Russia !?!? She obviously feels superior. I smoke these cartridges but would never be that ignorant to do this

  16. She can practice taking a knee all she wants now. How stupid lets carry a vape in the airport.

  17. American Privilege ; She won't be Grinning after 20 years in a Gulag and to Lie ""I didn't realize I had packed 8 Drug Cartridges LOL she now is Treating the Russian Court as Dummies

  18. She's a basketball player that admitted to the crime.
    This president leaves military in Afghanistan people that had a lot more value than a basketball player. Doesn't matter if she's straight or not, doesn't matter if male or female, does matter that she hated Americans

  19. It's not because she's a woman.
    It's not because she's African American.
    It's not because she's a lesbian.

    It's BECAUSE she brought over cannabis oil that's ILLEGAL In Russia.

    What's so difficult to understand about this?

  20. Vape cartridges – "Drug smuggling"??? Gimme a break. Russia's just taking hostages for bargaining chips.

  21. Does everyone that breaks another country's drug laws receive this kind of treatment by U. S. officials? Does trading Ms. Griner for Russian criminals held in the United States make the arrest of other U. S. citizens' currency for future trades?

  22. The Star Spangled Banner right about now. She hated the USA now she begging for help for the USA two face should rot in RUSSIA

  23. LEAVE HER ASS IN RUSSIA!!!

  24. If it was Trump was still president, he would've freed her and brought her back home a long time ago. Like how when Trump freed ASAP Rocky from Sweden prison.

    Joe Biden already got her vote, so he has no use for her anymore. Plus he can't even complete a sentence. But sure, "Orange man bad! Mean tweets so bad 😭"

  25. Biden must be fixin to bring All Detainees Home!

  26. Are people actually suggesting that this person should get preferential treatment over other Americans in Russian prisons? She doesn’t even stand when the American anthem is played. Now she’s begging the country she despises to save her? What an ungrateful and privileged brat!

  27. Well, you might think Britney would feel right at home since she hates her native country so much — you know, a place where she isn't punished for making outlandish statements about how horrible it is. I'm not feeling too much sympathy for her. She probably dreamed of being recruited by Russia — and how much of an idiot can you to take drugs into Russia? Being a basketball star doesn't make think any better, or even as well as your local moron.

  28. Putin if your listening on this news station I am removing myself from those black people from america and anywhere else which commit crimes against the state of russia. Your not going to stop the stakes have been rasied I am not part of this. Your operatives must have picked me up by now. What makes you the one percent.

  29. The Russians told our government to not give her any publicity so Google is hiding information to prevent support from shifting to a Trump reelection.

  30. Imagine Russians giving her a phone call to a family member…
    Brittney: I'm going to call my wife…
    Russians: The what?!….

  31. 🤣🤣 America is looking pretty good now Britney, isn't it. Maybe you shouldn't have protested the National Anthem.

  32. If you did the crime….do the crime…no matter who you are…famous or not!

  33. Maybe she can twerk and jump on top of the Russian police cars and spit and yell at them " you's racisssss!!" "Don't you know I'm black, let me go now! Or I'll call my black supremecists BLM!" …. it works in USA all the time.

  34. BRANDON will act in a Quick & Decisive manner I Bet, LOL
    Putin or Trump planted the drugs on her, Wink Wink.

  35. Trump and Putin supposed to be tight…ask him to get involved….that would get Biden moving on it

  36. trust me on this. this woman told the.truth Brittney is not going to prison. GOD said the truth will set you free

  37. Before this became news I had no idea who Brittney Griner was. I like most Americans don't follow the WNBA. Regardless of her gender, race, sexual identity or pseudo celebrity status …… if you are a guest of another country you had best learn and abide by their laws.

  38. It's common sense, learn to follow the law and you'll stay out of trouble. I'll give her credit, at least she didn't resist arrest!

    She picked the wrong US administration to be bring in drugs into a communist country. She might as well have incited a revolution or coup while she is there committing crimes!

    You travel to a different city here in the US, you are expected to know the laws for that state/city… You travel to another country, you better know their laws in that country!!!

  39. I feel bad for her, but you have to follow the rules if you want to travel to Russia. Biden is working to get her out of jail, because the democrats need those votes.

  40. I would let her behind stay there for being so foolish, the only way I would let her back into America is if she wears a big bird costume and sing the National anthem backwards
