Brittney Griner Saga

[Wagerallsports]

What is your opinion on Britney Griner's situation in Russia?

Everyone initially believes Russia is holding Griner per political agendas

However, it has been pointed out clearly that Russia takes a strong stance on marijuana and cannabis, and that the charge on Griner is also consistent with the United States' own federal laws on marijuana that can lead to conviction in the states too

So she did break a law in a country that takes it very seriously

And the problem is if we give in too easily and give up too much to get her released, that sets a bad precedent for the future and could lead to more situations like this

I'm sorry but imo she might just have to stay

I’m pro weed but come on, how dumb do you have to be to try and bring thc oil to a country like Russia knowing she is going to get drug dog sniffed going through Russian customs. Russia is wanting to trade her for some Russian arms dealer the USA is holding, my guess is Biden will probably do it. I wouldn’t it sets a bad precedent but everything Biden does sets bad precedent

Purely political too make U.S. leadership look weak. Say what you want about Trump and Clinton but at least they understood that you don't let anyone whack on your crew. Not a fan of her at all but she is still a U.S. citizen.

I haven't been following the story closely lately, but when she was arrested a big part of the outrage was that no evidence was provided against her. From what I understand this hasn't changed.

Well she had a vapor of which she should of thrown away buy another one when she gets home. She probably had a vapor many times in the past as she played there ever year and not an issue. But this time they used it as an opportunity to take her hostage claiming THC residue.

Different legal system might not have the rights as far as evidence sharing we have, I haven’t heard her lawyer denying anything.

They found cannabis vape cartridges in her luggage

I'd say there's a 99% chance this is true

What I find funny is her 'wife' and other supporters claiming #1 she didn't do anything wrong (ummm yes she did) and #2 criticizing the U.S. Government saying they aren't doing enough

 

[biggins]

There’s two sides to every story F her and F them. I just want to win baby

If she's going to trial it probably means that they have enough evidence to convict her.

 

[Bubbles]

are we going to expect a public trial on this? what am i thinking?? knowing russia lol

 

[parrothead]

She should have known better then to try and bring it back home from a country such as Russia

You really think she’s that stupid to take anything through customs twice? But then again maybe she is l know I wouldn’t even try that on domestic flight you can buy Mary Jane anywhere these days. They planted it but like I said F her and F them l have my own life style to concentrate on. Just Win Baby

Just another dumb post from a paid shill who thinks people will fall for more of his anti-American pro Putin propaganda.

She is leverage and an idiot but she has been playing there for 8 years and this isn’t the first time she had that on her. Russia planned this before they went to war with Ukraine and knew she had this kind of contraband on her. In peaceful times they would have let her go because the team owner (a billionaire oligarch) would have given Vlad the old wink and nod. Just another way to fukk with America.
