Brittney Griner says she will protest during the national anthem all season

On WNBA Opening Night, the Phoenix Mercury and Los Angeles Sparks walked off the court during pregame warmups before the playing of the national anthem as a protest against police brutality. Shortly thereafter, they observed a 26 second moment of silence to call attention to the killing of Breonna Taylor.

According to Mercury center Brittney Griner, that will not be the last time she engages in such a demonstration.

During a teleconference with the media, Griner spoke about leaving the court. As she explained, Griner felt that the players’ protest out to go even further:

“I honestly feel we should not play the national anthem during our season. I think we should take that much of a stand.”

I see no reason to do a prisoner swap for her. That beloved wife-beater is probably happier there in the workers' paradise than in this white supremacist, homophobic, mysogynistic, capitalistic hellhole. Maybe they will play the Russian national anthem in her cell.

I was concerned when I heard we were doing a prisoner swap. Glad we got a Marine instead.

Brittney Griner ........that is one big dude.

To add insult to injury/time in a Russian prison - it sounds like she was busted with a "CBD"/non-THC vape-pen! It would be getting a DUI after drinking non-alcoholic beer & failing a roadside sobriety balance test because of an old football injury.

I hope the US gov concentrates on getting Paul Whelan released before Brittney - Bring back the "Stupid Tax" for those doing Stupid Sheisse...

bummer she was or did something wrong, even if wrong place wrong time, traveling in the other countries is trying to say the least, know what you are getting into, gamble and be punished, and even if right railroaded, cause just cause.

not a fan, she can rot as far as i'm concerned, she turned her back on this country, now we need to throw her arse out with the trash.

Brittney Griner begs Biden not to ‘forget’ her, to get her out of Russia

https://nypost.com/2022/07/04/in-letter-brittney-griner-begs-biden-to-get-her-out-of-russia/

Griner, 31, also said that “as I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I’m terrified I might be here forever.”

“On the 4th of July, our family normally honors the service of those who fought for our freedom, including my father who is a Vietnam War Veteran,” she wrote.

“It hurts thinking about how I usually celebrate this day because freedom means something completely different to me this year.”

I say Biden should spring her, on the condition that she promises to sign the National Anthem before every game.

So now, all of a sudden, she's a patriot. Stupid is as stupid does. Let her rot.

I don't even understand why she wants to return to a terrible, racist country like the USA. I am sure that if she defected to Russia, and became a Russian citizen, they would let her out of jail, and she could be the star of the Russian national basketball team. Winning!

I'd be curious to know of the Russians keep her/him in the male or female prison.
It might help answer some questions about griner.

WNBA’s Griner pleads guilty at her drug trial in Russia

https://apnews.com/article/brittney...live-updates-bc4c1d9efd490eed0eb522c8c59e9197

Griner was escorted to the courtroom in handcuffs and clad in a bright red T-shirt with the name “Crenshaw” and sweat pants. She also held a photo of her "wife", Cherelle.

American basketball star Brittney Griner pleaded guilty Thursday to drug possession charges on the second day of her trial in a Russian court in a case that could see her sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

I'm pretty sure she will hook up with another girlfriend in the GULAG.
