We do the same with people smuggling narcs into our borders. Its not up to us to decide whats illegal in another country

She allegedly committed a crime and she has to pay the price, right?

[solsouth]

Listen if a Russian basketball player brought something illegal into the US he/she would also be detained and probably jailed. It does not matter who you are laws are laws. You broke them take your punishment.

Russia did what America could never do since 1997, that is- making a WNBA player famous 😂🤣

[jaie]

Maybe she shouldn't break the law.

[joshuamylesgibson]

She was against America not long ago, against anthem played at sports. This will teach her to appreciate why america is not so bad after all.

[charlesc.parker]

She's no different than anyone else and needs to be treated as such.

Every American should understand laws of other countries & be aware of any hostility that the country being entered has against their home country. People should watch the show 'Locked up Abroad' it will make you think twice before breaking any law. What is "minor" in the USA can be major elsewhere.

Ms Griner was in Russia and they have laws, to be followed.

[rusharley]

When you think too highly of yourself, you think you can do anything you want. She played a stupid game and won! Ya gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough.

[jebbthetrainkid]

She broke their Law. Let her face their Punishment. Say No To Drugs! Guess Griner is "The Little Man" now.

[flowerpower]

i feel bad for her but why would she do something illegal??? You cant mess around in countries like Russia. Its her own fault...

[juliusdeloach]

What you do in America you can not do in another country 💯💯

[jesusvalle]

Honestly, she did it to herself. No one is to blame but herself. I hope she gets home sooner rather than later and reflects on how America isn't all that bad like she claimed.

[marcbachman]

I guess being black, rich and a celebrity means nothing when you break the law in other countries.

[stringmonkey]

Drugs. No surprise they are holding her. Has she never watched the tv show "Locked up abroad?"

[AZ-vuwu]

She put herself in that position herself and doing that in Russia too 🤣

[theinfamous]

She might not get stateside until she's in her 40's..
She better write a book.

[fthenonasian]

Let her get her punishment by their law. Why does America have to help her just because she is an athlete? That’s BS.

[nellyismotivated]

The Russian government is making a example out of her!
