What's next for Brittney Griner following conviction, sentencing in Russia?

Attention now turns to the prospect of a prisoner swap between the United States and Russia that could get Brittney Griner home.

Why don’t BLM, Ben crump And Sharpton help her 😂😂😂✊🏿

Wrongfully detaining?? No, Joe. It's called applying THEIR *LAWS* on arrogant Americans who break them

WRONGFULLY DETAINING BRITTANY?
SHE BROKE THE LAW

[Dan-dijd]

I find it odd she wore a BLM and yet the organization is completely silent. Not only that they bought themselves a million dollar home.

[erockcooper]

she will be released in 9 years, that's what's next.

[bradturner]

She now has nine years to ponder how wrong she was to hate the country that she lived in. A lot of people like her learn the hard way.

[roy]

She didn't make an mistake, she broke the law period. She just got caught this time and got away with it before.

[frankdarlasmaka]

Someone who is disloyal to her country like Griner ought not to ask her country for anything! Do your time it’s your dime!

[Cragified]

I don't understand why the family of Americans that make foolish decisions to go to countries that have hostile relationships with the U.S. and commit a crime (It was her responsibility to know the laws of drugs) to do anything special to get them released especially releasing people that have done far worse things?

[SilphetX]

yeah let's just ignore the fact that our own govt has been convicting people the exact same way for tiny amounts of substance that harmed nobody

[jasonfrazier]

I bet she has a better view of America now.

[donendron]

I didn't know there was such thing as a "WNBA" until i heard about this story

[estheroppong]

She misses the the Country that she never appreciate very bad!

[fuzzlestick]

I think it has become obvious many Americans feel privileged no matter where they travel and what country they are in. Whether you disagree with the laws of another country it is totally irrelevant you are not a citizen of that country you are a visitor subject to the same laws as the citizens. No empathy for this idiot, this happens too often and can cause severe political consequences for the rest of us.

[tonyg]

Maybe don’t break the law and you don’t go to prison

[scottlecompte]

I'm just wondering if any groups are planning to go to Russia and protest for her release.

[youngjojo]

Broke people broke the law: be sentenced to 10, 20, or 30 years in prison


Rich people broke the law: ohh they are wrongfully detained, we gonna exchange arms dealers for them.

[lovessmooch]

Praise Britney, this was her plan to escape US oppression 🙏

Woke and now waking up in Russian prison each morning.
