What a champion for Women's history month...She punched a fellow college basketball player breaking her nose, beat the shit out of her wife and smuggled drugs into Russia. Hope all the little girls look up to her as a role model....

[JizzleDaMan]

With the severity around the war it definitely can give them more leverage if it became a national out cry. Russia don’t play fair if people haven’t found that out by now.

Shouldn’t be traveling around with weed on you. She gotta be smarter

[thecheshirecat]

It’s another country .. it’s disgusting that u think u can go to another country and put our values and laws on them.

[KamalGlover]

She committed a crime it's her own fault.

[akaLADYYYYYYY]

it completely makes sense why they were told not to talk about it

[glendubie]

All the accolades in the world don't give you the right to break the law. Not much to talk about, you break the law you go to jail period End of story. She's not the 1st American to be arrested in a foreign country and she won't be the last.

[KINGPRAILOW]

Yeah with what's going on right now, I wouldn't they might try to make an example out of her

[milmikey]

A crime is a crime I understand why Russia arrested her... even the USA should file charges against Brittney for exporting drugs to another country... #drugtraffic

[MauriS]

You're forgetting Brittney committed a CRIME by trying to snick in weed/hash cartridges/pods into Russia and that is a bigger deal over there than it is in the USA. You're applying US standards to another country and are forgetting or don't know their laws about these type of things are much more severe than ours. But a lot of Americans make that mistake just out of ignorance. US is not the world.

On top of it, Brittney knew better b/c she's been playing in Russia for years and has made the same plane trip and has gone through the same airports and customs several times over the years. She knew what she was doing and she knew the risks she was taking. And even if she was able to snick in drugs the previous times it doesn't mean she could keep doing it forever, specially knowing the political situation was so charged. Remember the war was being talked about for weeks if not months before it actually happened. The war was no surprise to anyone except for the crowd with their fingers in their mouths.

Talk about an entitled American. Brittney made her bed and and now she needs to lie in it. You wouldn't even care if she wasn't famous. Stop being a hypocrite.

First mistake going to russia, second mistake getting caught with drugs in russia. What do you expect Americans to do about someone jailed in Russia?! Giving her more attention raises her value for ransom smh

[Jebro]

I thought we live in a speak up culture

[shelleybell]

I guess I can see why they would say that with the current state of affairs with Russia, but she is one of ours and it seems that something more needs to be done. My other concern is WHAT if anything is her Russian team that she's played for for 7 plus years doing to assist her in this matter? 💁🏻‍♀️#FreeBrittneyGriner

[Hxllywoodash]

What do y’all expect America or the WNBA to do like I’m being serious there in a middle of a war rn with Russia and they put sanctions on Russia why would Russia not hold her there she’s 1 person even if it was the best WNBA player ever they’d still be there even if it was Lebron James he’d still be there

[salvatoresgobbo]

I love it keep her how come they are not ripping biden if trump was in charge she would be home already

[rahvickers]

Ppl Yes it makes sense cause they can use her situation as a pawn towards the USA

[synthiasimms]

Wish you luck Brittany! If you get out of this unscathed, you know not to play there again!

[iamghost_]

They can silence them but they can't silence us
