Funny how you spit on our Flag when your FREE, but go to jail and you love us again!
Griner is going to love being on her knees for those Russian guards.
Bahahaha bet you love America now miss "I hate America"
Karma is a wonderful thing.
No such thing as a WNBA Star
She better have a shovel or pickaxe in hand ,…no workie no eatie
LMFAO
Send Kim K to negotiate her release.
Brittany has millions in the bank and an endless supply of drugs. She may have to suffer one or two years of incarceration, but after that it'll be back to getting high on drugs, crazy parties, endless vacations. This girl is better off than 99.99999% of Americans, why feel sorry for a person like this?
Most Americans don't want this man back 😂😂😂
Do the crime, do the time
Let the Russian do it they re way ,and can t she take it as a men lol
Do not release her Mr. Putin.
Make Biden and the u.s. look more embarrassing to the world Sir.
How about let’s focus on Paul he’s been there longer 🤷🏻♀️ it’s been 2 years and y’all forgot
Oh but Britney grinder we need to get her home now 🙄
It’s unfair to Paul that we’re not focused on him
Brittany is a bargaining chip in the Ukraine war now. If the Ukraine wins, sadly, Brittany may have an "accident" in prison. Russia prisons are ruthless.
Keep her locked up until America releases ALL people in Prison for Marijuana🤡
I hope she stays in there for 9 years this is what she gets for bashing the United States she hates our country she said it her own words she said she hates this country, and now she wants the United States to help her please. She has 9 years in a jail to think about how much she loves the United States. Our country is the best country in the world and she needs to learn this the hard way.
She's a grown man , she'll be ok.
Who cares!
Trump would have already gotten her home
I am So Glad HE doesn't have to suffer anylonger, at the hands of these racist and opressive American people. I am also glad He didn't try to smuggle drugs into Indonesia, Singapore, Malasia Nor China's Airports.
Glad for his girlfriend as well for she doens't have to suffer domestic violence any more Plus Britny is Drug free. So it's a win win whicever way you look at😀
Hope she's settling into her new home well since she complained about the last one 😂😂
This was all about using her to get some real criminal killer back into society.
The toxic tone in these comments, the jokes that Britney is a man, when we know she is a woman based off being in the WNBA. You can have a different political opinion without being vile towards people of different backgrounds, and races. People have truly lost their way, to not have any discretion about what they put out into the world. You do not have to be a fan or want her back, but to be nasty says more about you than her predicament. A predicament that would possibly be resolved had not for the current issues in the Ukraine.
That thing is not getting out give her a shovel.
I say leave him there.!!!!!!!!!!
America would do the same if you broke their laws
The continue waste of American resources and attention on this is hopefully yet another reason the midterms will correct our nation's priorities. Griner is a wife beater and has violently assaulted other women, breaking bones in another player's face. If she were a man feminists would say let him rot there. Yet as usual they demand we drop everything to free her, because women can't be held accountable for anything. Meanwhile we have another American in the same predicament, Whelan, who has served his country and has a much more severe sentence but also has the misfortune of being male. Therefore he is ignored.
This is yet more confirmation that Biden is the lapdog of feminists like Harris who are actually running the country. And that should scare and outrage us a lot more than Russian domestic law enforcement.
I bet she misses that national anthem now lmfao 🤡
This "woman" needs to serve her time
Why is she so much more important than any other American prisoner in foreign custody? The US has become a clown show.
Nah, Griner "can't breathe" here in America. I think she'd be delighted to stay in Russia and stand for their anthem.
I really don't know this guy, but I wonder if he's going to get his 'Salad Tossed' 😮🌭
Trump would of gotten her out 🙂
I feel so bad for this man…
Grimer happy at new home in mother Russia.
There are so many people in our prison system for this that shouldn’t be still this lady has never done anything for her country why are my tax payers dollars going towards this because that’s where this money comes from folks you
Russia can keep him!!
It’s remarkable how dumb you have to be to try and smuggle drugs into Russia
