Held in Russia on trumped up charges. Putin doesn’t care that she has a wife and two children

Trumped up? She definitely had some cannabis derivative and one thing I know from traveling the globe there are specific countries where you don’t want to have any trace of weed or anything. Russia is one of those places. Along with all Muslim countries, Singapore, China and many more. There are Americans imprisoned all over the world for in some instances decades for less. There is absolutely nothing we can do about it and Britney griner made a terrible mistake. Listen Americans. If you’re gonna travel abroad check the drug laws of the country your going to. Some will just confiscate and send you home others will put you away. I worked for the state department and they will make your family feel like something is being done but there is absolutely nothing your country will do for you. You want to smoke ganja on your vacation? Go to a country with lax laws and buy it there don’t carry it into an airport well unless you’re in Colombia.

She was also All-Conference, are they THAT less deserving of our love?

I don't particularly care about wealthy, famous people whose lives don't impact mine when I'm not a fan of their work.

I'd hazard a guess you wouldn't care if they were holding Kerry King.
Tell me who Kerry King is and I’ll tell you.

Garner doesn't appreciate America, I hope she loves life in Siberia and the Russian anthem.

She's going to learn some things the hard way on this one. Hopefully she's able to get out of there soon, but things aren't looking good for her.

^ Yup. Probably intentional or made up by the Russians and they are going to milk that one for all its worth.

The blaming of the WNBA about her "having" to play in Russia to make a living is really annoying btw. She definitely didn't have to play there to survive and its not unusual at all in the real world for foreign companies to pay exorbitant salaries for Western talent. Kind of hilarious when you see the woke folks saying she was living on crumbs while she has averaged well over six figures in almost every year since leaving Baylor.

Only someone as dense as you would lecture someone about caring for ALL ... yes capital letters ALL Americans , then ask who someone a few minutes later who someone is to determine whether you care about them or not .. Folks that is classic liberalism on display in just a few sentences . Their absurdity knows no bounds .

FWIW I dislike Britney G , because of her cowardly sucker punch of an opposing player , a white girl I might add . Punched her in the face from behind , left her a bloody mess . For that I really lack respect for her .. having said that no one deserves what shes gonna get in that Russian prison for some weed derivative . Hope she gets home and learns to appreciate her own country a little more . Tough lesson .

Jesus. My post was meant to mock the people on here who only care about one group of people. She doesn’t fit the mold for all you “Christians” on here to care about her.

I have no sympathy for anyone who goes over seas and gets locked up........you ain't in the US and those countries could care less for our laws....what might be inocuous to you might piss off the local government/police.......I have been to Europe and have never had any problems........but you ain't going over there and act like you do here.......it will land you in jail......

Never heard of her till this incident. DA breaks Russia law, she gets their law. End of story for me.

This is not good. If she really had hashish, she was really stupid.

The fact that she was detained at least a week ago, but we didn’t hear about it until Friday, is also concerning.

And lastly, her being a lesbian likely won’t help her cause in Russia.
