Brittney Griner pleaded guilty in a Russian court to drugs charges that could see her face 10 years in prison; Update: SHE IS FREE

[Dwight Howard]

It's nor crazy whatsoever..It's Russian law

Just because it's law doesn't justify it

 

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

America aint giving up political prisoners in exchange for a careless basketball player. She might fukk around and do all 9 years

One of the few times I will ever agree with something you've said.

Laws are based on societal norms of that time. Not even 200 years ago, anyone with my complexion, lips and nose would be picking cotton and getting terrorized and whipped by massa, and it was LEGAL to do so.

Not even 20 years ago, nikkas was getting locked up for possession of weed, and in some places still are.

Brittney is being held as a political hostage. The Russians are hiding behind the law here.

In America they have lifers b, for weed.

Exactly.

This is why I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the outcry on this level. Do folks not know the numbers Kamala was throwing at people for weed charges? Do people really not know the current amount of our folks in US jails for weed charges while it's legal here in a ton of states?

I don't get on domestic flights here with anything close to weed in case some TSA cat wanna hem me up. I get that her famous friends want her out, but she went to a low key hostile country and now dummies on TV are pretending like she got set up or something. They need to use that fame to get actually innocent people out of Rikers or something.

Social media was a fukking mistake.

People really think this shyt is that simple to just get this woman out of jail like that. The fukk is Kamala gonna do? Say it louder???

And there's nothing the US can do about it as they can't dictate another countries terms and how their laws should operate. It's a reason why they tell you to stay out of trouble when you're in another country as it's because there's only so much they can do to help you.

Sports is FINISHED in Russia as far as Americans

That's not true at all with WNBA salaries in it's current state. Someone will take the risk if the money is right as you still have former NBA players playing in other countries even in spite of their issues with the US.

Make no mistake— I believe in doing as the Romans do, especially when you’re in a foreign country. Not that I break laws here in America, but when I’m abroad I’m on my Ps and Qs, ESPECIALLY as a Black man.


I’m only commenting on the concept of law as something that has the moral high ground. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t harmed another person or operated a vehicle while high should be locked up.

But anyone with a brain can see this is posturing from the Kremlin. She’s a hostage. If she were Chinese, she’d have been back home in some Chinese p*ssy weeks ago

 

[Shogun]

the political capital Putin gets out of this is probably worth it alone. What’s crazy is these players were usually pampered during their time there, probably never even had to go through security.

We don't have to do shyt, but common human decency says a person shouldn't lose 9 years of their life for smoking weed. she happens to be a celebrity and drawing attention to essentially a human rights violation. It's ugly and archaic thus the reason it's drawing attention. You choose to blame Brittney instead of the corrupt ass country locking her up for 10 years over weed. Your perspective is wack.

Stop speaking like a privileged US citizen nygga. if 9 years is the consequences there, then thats THEIR consequences...

If she was in Indonesia, she would be facing 20yrs. It aint just Russia out here with strict drug laws. The world looks at us like whiny ass americans as it is.. nyggas on here like "its just weeeeed" yeah and? Its laws

She's not a political hostage

Brehs sounding lake MAGA in here Talking about Russian laws like russian law is whatever Putin tells them to do. Anytime an athlete gets in trouble or has accusations against them the coli turns into “we must have law and order”. fukking shameless.

You're too conditioned into accepting bullshyt laws

I could hear that shyt in my head now and as they go to commercial, "So Many Tears" instrumental would be playing and Jalen would say "They want Britney to suffer many years and shed so many tears. There is so much pressure in that cell, and she can't get away. She's not happy there."

Proudly admit you don't know what hostage diplomacy is in a thread about hostage diplomacy brehs
