Why do people forget that Brittney is a grown ass multimillionaire American, who chose to go into a foreign country and knowingly break their law?

It is not like she just decided to take a week vacation, take in some scenery that she fantasized about, collect some knick knacks to bring home to the kiddos and come on back to the good ol U.S. of A.

She was a professional athlete who was offered LOTS of money to play in Russia's professional basketball league. She has been to Russia multiple times. She lived there for over a year before getting caught. Here at home she loved to say that she is 'gangsta' and (quite literally) look down on people and treat them as puppets. She was charged here in the states of assault against her wife.
She is proud to have ties to big 'gangstas' across the U.S.
She left the U.S. to play ball over seas because she felt that America didn't appreciate her talents enough and pay her the amount that she deserved.

Now she wants to wrap the 馃嚭馃嚫 around her weak, timid,female,woman of color ,lesbian,unfortunate,mistaken,loyal ass!!!

She violated a foreign countries rules, even stuck her tongue out at their authority and laws because she was held up as a super star athlete and Russian mobsters backed her existence over there.

Play 'gangsta' games and win 'gangsta' 馃弳.

Russia is NOT America!
And we do not and can not tell them to treat her by our sense of what is fair.

Speaking of "fair play" what about the other American citizens that have been imprisoned in Russia BEFORE Britteny Griner's ignorant, entitled, millionaire 'gangsta' ass got all of this press?
ALL of them are being used as political leverage.
She isn't the only American in captivity in Russia!

Where is your righteous indignation for their release?

Oh that is right.
You do not know their names or their stories or have ever given them or their families a thought.

By the way...Brittney played for the Phoenix Mercury. She does not represent my home town or my country very well at all. 馃が

You should support Ukraine because they are fighting for their very existence as a people on this planet.
Not because of a criminal being held prisoner by criminals.
Ukraine has been fighting Russia for over 9 years. This ain't new to them.
Why do you think that they are asking for the world's assistance?

They keep using up the weapons and their citizens. 馃挃馃挃馃挃

@PoeticPlay Multimillionaire? She plays in the WNBA. She plays in Russia to supplement her income. She must have a shitload of endorsements.

@eli1601
Basketball is not her only source of income.

Ahem...what was she imprisoned for ?馃え

@PoeticPlay she claimed it was a prescribed medicine . She claimed she didn鈥檛 know she even had it on her . This means she wants people to believe she left home without packing her prescribed medicine .
It sounds hard to believe .

25 % of women are on prescribed medicine to control their emotions or thought processes.

That means that 75% of the population of women roaming around without prescriptions! 馃槵
