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

She specifically used dudes name and salary as the basis of her argument. She also brought up his accolades in comparison to hers, so yes in her particular instance she was asking to get paid like NBA players because every player isn’t making $24 million a year like Barnes was at the time.

The Union is irrelevant to the point because I specifically referred to one player and not the league or union as a whole.

it is irrelevant because the actual bargaining they were doing was not based on being paid NBA salaries, one arrogant player running off at the mouth doesn't represent the actual ask. 99% of other players specifically said they aren't asking for NBA salaries, just a higher revenue split. but yes, let's take skylar diggins talking about the value she brings to a team and what it earns compared to a less value barnes who earns more as the negotiation the players were aiming for

Your original comment said that they never asked for NBA salaries and even you know that's not entirely true as the Union doesn't speak for all players and it'd be naive to think otherwise. Every NBA salary isn't millions of dollars as there other lower tier players in the league that are making six figures instead of six. They want to be paid those salaries, so yes in essence they are asking for NBA salaries.

It's okay to admit that you're wrong as we easily pull up the receipts to insist otherwise

It's why one shouldn't use the one "never" in any argument as it can easily be disproven.

U clearly dont know how a commuist country is ran.

Lol im not shocked by any of this, I just want details

 

[360dagod]

Off topic but I went to my first and last WNBA game. I haven’t seen so many bricks in my life and these hoes want to be paid like Curry?

The league should have been folded a long time ago

It took what, 3 years to get that former marine out who was arrested after a bar fight? This isn't gonna be some walk in the park. We exchanged a Russian criminal for him. Russia wants that arms dealer guy and Biden has understandably refused. Hopefully they can agree on another swap. Most of that time was before the war. She might truly truly be fukked.

Lesson of the day. If you're in another country, peep their drug laws. Never sneak shyt in unless you know.

I damn near got into a fight with this African dude in Rome last month. All that was in the back of the head is not knowing the laws and not putting myself in position to get locked up over some bullshyt. Got to move carefully when in other countries. Ain't worth the risk.

Im honestly surprise it lasted this long. I remember when it first came out, i thought it wouldnt last past 3 years

 

[Apollo Creed]

Either Americans are arrogant or dumb about this situation



Folks acting like Biden can get on a private jet to go to Russia and bail out Britney

folks dumb as shyt.

broad broke the law lmfao

we cant tell other countries how to make their laws the same way they cant tell us. This is life.

if you that much of a damn J you smuggling weed then you played a stupid game and won a stupid prize

exactly, no matter how 'dumb' you think the laws may be, nobody told you to go to that country. It would be one thing if this the country you are bron in and they persecuting your ethnic group unjustly, but if them folks got a law on paper you better respect it our bounce.
