Only 9 years wtf she should of got life
"Even though technically it's NOT her fault…"
Explain…🤔🤔🤔
What’s the matter she didn’t like America so now she could live in Russia for 9 years she got her wish!!!
Good she’s a drug smuggler,AMERICA should let everyone in jail and prison on marijuana charges go if they want her to be let go
Why would she wants to come back to America that she hates. 🤣😁
She won't have to worry about playing basketball for a long time if I was her I would take the opportunity to learn a trade
It's amazing how things work out when you can't play your race card anymore!!!
I’m really happy for Brittany. He no longer has to live in a country that he hates so much. I’m glad his life is better now! 👌
Remember people she took a knee let her rot there now she thinks her country in America isn't good you have to take a knee I don't listen to Stevie Wonder anymore because he was screaming taking me taking me drop dead go to hell you won't take a knee get the hell out of this country and see what 9 years and another country is like
She she did mean to break the law she didn't care
Look at all stupid these people are defending her actions if anyone other than a person of status did what she did this wouldn't mean anything we would still be in jail shinless list Shawshank Redemption and there's one more when he taped it to his body stupid people
Unintentional oversight yeah no she's just plain old stupid she knew what she was doing she took a knee people now she wants to come back to her country well what countrymen don't want her stay in Russia you jerk
Who cares if I went to Russia and did something stupid like that I would be in jail and no one would give a damn I don't really care she's stupid she is what I call a stupid person she knew what she was doing and she thought she was above the law he took a knee now she's begging her country to take her back home he should stay there remember she took a knee people
Yes, gutka culture drug culture liquor culture gay culture etc.. must be ban due to devastation of mankind – God the giver of all blessings only humans becoming insane -God’s given freedom we must acknowledge and appreciate the wonderful world full of lessons and thrilling wonderful experiences. Moral education makes people modest. regards
We should just send all the woke zombies and vampires being a societal acid to western democracies to Russia for forced labour. BLM founders, Jussie Slommet, Vaush, Antifa et cetera. I’m sure they will stop taking their freedom and woke Marxist conspiracy theories for granted
The prison guards should play the Star Spangled Banner in her prison cell over and over again from morning till night.
He forgot to apologize to all Americans for hating America and for disrespecting the flag and national anthem. Maybe he will end up loving America and appreciating all the freedoms he took for granted after toiling for the next 9.5 years in a prison labor camp, hopefully in Siberia.
What’s next is she does 9 years in a Russian prison 😂😂😂😂😂 I bet the U.S isn’t looking that bad after all huh 😂😂😂😂 first she turns her back on the American flag during the Olympics then she’s begging the U.S to get her free 😂😂😂😂 news flash your in a Russian prison sweetie good luck 🤭
Everyone has their own opinions as it should be. However, why do we feel no empathy? I have read many of these comments and think about "Let the one who has not sinned cast the first stone." I would not wish this on my worse enemy. How would you feel if this was your own child?
She get caught with drugs and thats it! US is joke!
Swwwwwwaaaaaaaaapppppppppp
Damn Shane that didn't give her life or even better executed
WNBA star? What is the wnba?
It's an extremely cruel and outsized punishment for what she was accused of.
Old Joe Biden: “This is unacceptable”. Gee, that’s the kind of talk to really scare a man like Putin.
I don’t like Brittney Griner. Not at all. But this is WRONG. So I would defend her.
she is star in America god bless USA🇺🇸
one law for you but not for me throw away the key
Very small amount really???? Like if that matters. I agree that the sentence is too much that’s because of the political climate. But if you kill Simone with a knife that Doesn’t mean you are less guilty than if killing it with a gun.
Dude that voice, it's a man
WE ARE TIRED OF THIS BRITNEY NEWS!!! What is so important about her to make the headline news everywhere???? Because it happened in Russia???? ENOUGH OF THIS PROPAGANDA!
Womp Womp
If the drugs were for her personal use its nobody business what she eat, smoke or drink !
Put Biden in jail for aiding and abetting a confessed criminal. Brattney is not above the law and neither are politicians. Put that in your pipe and smoke it
I agree she brought drugs into USSR 9yrs is way too long wut she have 50 cartridges or what? Anybody really know?it was intentional u packed your bag but no arms dealer for her noway
I spent almost two years in jail in the “greatest country in the world” for a dime sack of Mexican dirt weed. I didn’t smuggle it internationally the sentence of nine years seems actually fair. America has people in jail over this exact reason. Maybe we should release all our marijuana offenders before they release them. American hypocrisy at its best.
Some good news today
FREE BRITTANY!
Again, it's a well known fact that drugs can kill you or get you in trouble. STOP DOING DRUGS
So because she can kind of dunk she is worth trading an arms dealer? She messed up, she knew that was in her bag lol
