I feel sorry for her that she is in the situation but I mean c'mon in light of current events don't be stupid and follow the rules. Hopefully she can get out of there sooner rather than later.
Or Russian authorities did something authoritarian and declared cbd oil, hash oil.
Or maybe Russia is just making **** up to remind people that they can take hostages and cause harm to US citizens.
I won't believe anything the Russians say until they put a bullet in Putin's head
Very outspoken anti-American. I’ll bet she’s quite pro American now that she needs help.
I am not familiar with her and her views or whatever. However, I’ve travelled all over the world and you should be familiar with a countries laws and restrictions. You can get in serious trouble real quick.
I read that she makes more than $1mm a year playing basketball in Russia - which is more than 4x what she makes in the US. How does that work?
smh, man, I wouldn't give the Russians any excuse to detain me. I read a little about hash oil and it sounds way too complicated to use. Plus it looks and sounds way too unhealthy.
Some of the Russian teams are playthings for rich, often mobbed up, businessmen. The owner of one of the Moscow teams was shot and killed in what was reported to be a professional hit about ten years ago.
I think kids today think they can bullshiit their way out of everything and expect to get a medal for it....

So not much different than if she played a full WNBA season?
Other than a couple of her teammates saying they were told not to say much I haven't heard a peep about her in the news. Nice to see the State Department reclassified her case.
