Hey, give her credit. 20 people showed up to her homecoming celebration in Waco. That's at least a 1/4 of the WNBA fan base.

What happened to the other 2 Americans sitting in Russian jail? Imagine being that Marine, knowing you served your country and they prioritized a basketball played over you for political points.

[noigelskram]

Only 20 people showed up to her celebration.
I can get more than that on a Sunday Barbecue.

[seeemsee]

She wasn't wrongfully detained, Steph Curry.

[joemaldo]

January 6th and our Marine who still in Russia. It's unjust.

[frobro]

Why griner and not the marine that has been there since 2018!!

[nssandhu]

LOL, imagine the people who are in jail in USA for the same crime, lmao

[tobingallawa]

20 people showed up at the event in her home town. Less than a Joe Biden rally

[yahmadoss]

Another Dog and Pony Show. The World is a stage. If she was actually locked up in Russia so was I😳

[zeesimonsays]

You forgot to mention only 20 ppl showed up. No one cares about her

[garyanthony]

Like trading a porche for a skateboard.

[rickytavilla]

Yikes this didn’t age well. 20 people showed up for her

[BrandonLee-igqg]

They should do this for all of the Americans, why would Russians be more important?

[BryanSalesDP]

Wrongfully detained? She brought in contrabands in a foreign country who strictly enforces their laws.

[DrSpooglemon]

The war on drugs is stupid. 9 years for a little bit of oil. Ridiculous!

[weRlegion]

This person is no hero. A true U.S. patriot would be insulted..a drug addict (it's a drug just like anything that can alter your perception..that's not the issue here) for a killer. Never again will watch NBA or WNBA again. Tossed our jerseys in the trash last night. If they allow her to play in future Olympics will boycott that too...no lost sleep and we save $ no longer purchasing season tickets or merchandise.

[suzannefernandez]

Its not Brittany's fault. Biden wasn't given a choice of him or her. Stop already.

[Caudet-rmfd]

A few athletes and like 20 people in her hometown. Worse trade in basketball history.

[RWAC]

20 People, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Bye Felicia.

[sentrygolddenn]

Ain’t no way she’s athletic, she’s just a long stick lol
