I haven’t watched FOX but they must be taking Putin’s side

Why bring Fox into a conversation about whether this person is guilty or not?
She pled guilty. WTH does Fox have to do with this?

Ever heard of taking the plea if you feel you won't get a fair trial? If not you must not be from the US or Russia.

So, WTH does Fox have to do with this?

And, on another note, I have heard nobody who speaks for Griner say she DIDN'T have contraband. Not her wife, not even Griner.

I would say Russia has better evidence against her; the story makes sense that she threw some cartridges in and forgot the content.

I once border a flight for Saudi Arabia with a Maxim magazine- that would have been 10 years in prison if the flight attendant did not catch me before take off and get it off the plane.

The type she is, not too educated about these things

What type is she, exactly?

The type who can’t give up her addictions because she has no idea it can be punishable outside her bubble

It’s not a new term- cartridge atomizer- is shortened (for ten years) to cartomizer

Sorry but those of us who had the good sense to our backs on tobacco long ago because of its horrible health impacts (and who know vaping is no better) don't give a shit if they've been used for 10 years and don't plan on learning them.

What FOX has to do with it is that they've taken Russia's side on things so much lately that one wonders if they get kickbacks from Putin's communications director.

Now she only had .7 grams of cannabis oil which is almost nothing. 10 years is a max sentence, if they give her that then it is wrong and purely as a negotiation move. If she gets a year or less then that likely makes sense, she’s already served like 4 months.

If she were a Russian citizen anything under 6 grams would be considered an administrative offense. She'd have to pay a fine but no jail time. Russia is 100% using her as a political pawn. The fact that she is getting harsher treatment than anyone else would have is unjust. To match Russia's "fairness" toward US citizens, maybe the US should do the same thing - start rounding up and incarcerating any Putin-connected Russian citizens in the US for administrative-offense level things like unpaid parking tickets and offer to send them to Russia as prisoner exchange. That would be comparably fair to what Russia is doing.

I’m all for this plan. I just don’t think we should exchange Victor Bout who is a mass murderer, for Britney Griner. Round up some oligarchs, trump up the charges and exchange them for Britney.

Round up random Russian nationals on charges and offer them up for prisoner exchange for Griner.

I think we could get a lot more in exchange for their oligarchs than a basketball player.

I really can't believe that as a gay woman she was comfortable going to Putin's Russia at all. I speak Russian, love Russian culture, and I haven't been comfortable going to Russia for at least a decade ... and I'm a straight white woman. But bad things happen to people in countries run by men like that.

She earned big big money in Russia playing for a Russian team--over a million dollars per year. She'd been playing for the team for years.

So she kneels for her country’s national anthem but throws all of her “principles” out of the window for a couple of dollars to play a game in Russia. Sounds like a high character individual.

Well she is guilty but 10 years in prison for this is insane. They should fine her but it'll never happen.

But yeah, you can't go to another country and not follow their rules and then when you don't be shocked about consequences.
I'm sorry I don't think she deserves 10 years but that's up to Russia, not us

10 years is typical drug sentence even in the us

No 10 years is not the typical drug sentence in the US.

Maybe that's why drugs are out of control here with our citizens

I guess now that Russia is a pariah in the international sports scene they don't need as many foreign ringers playing.

Nah, we just need to round up a few of the oligarch's adult children at NYU, HBS, Wharton, Stanford, etc. Pretty easy pickin's, should be easy to get them on a trumped up charge.
