Don't care if I gotta work part time as a transit driver or cable installer---If I'm in the WNBA, you wouldn't catch me playing anywhere but America again.

Pretty much her only option as I understand it.
She'll get sentenced and have to sit until they work out some kind of exchange. Problem for her is I don't see U.S and Russia being on them type terms to negotiate until the Ukraine situation is resolved and who knows how many years that will be

She is an idiot for doing a job.
She was stupid for bringing weed into the country, though.
Russia is definitely taking advantage of this for politics, but the Biden admin doesn't seem to care that much.

On Feb. 17, Griner, who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, was taken into custody at Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow after her arrival to play in the off-season with UMMC Ekaterinburg, a Russian women’s basketball team where Griner has been a star for the past seven years

They probably ask for a prisoner exchange for Grigory Rodchenkov from the Icarus documentary. (Not a prisoner but in witness protection. He's the former drug guru for the Russian Olympic committee who defected)
I'm not saying she's dumb for playing there or whatever, as I don't know if she was aware of the war situation or if she had any means of being aware of it, but definitely if I'm a female player I'd sacrifice the money for my well being and live below my means going forward after seeing this situation. It's not worth it
Griner's salary for the 2021-22 season was $221,450 as one of the WNBA's highest-paid players
I feel bad for this chick and this is fukked up but you GOTTA KNOW THE RULES
Cmon man this is flagrant you can’t carry weed traveling on airplanes

You have to have awareness, if I knew the country I'd be going to work in was about to bomb another country and my government is issuing warnings that I'd probably skip the upcoming season and stay home.

She had to sue already admitted guilt months ago. She was gonna get convicted regardless. Just hope it’s time served

She's not the only US prisoner over there. What makes her more important than everyone else that she should get priority? Her coach is bytching saying that if it was Bron then he'd get priority, but Bron wouldn't have been stupid enough to break laws in another country.

She was earning over $1 million in Russia. She had a job. If she doesn't get busted with weed, you don't say a word about this.feb 11

Russia also made her important by increasing the visibility of her arrest too.
She's lucky it wasn't Singapore or one of those other East Asian countries
