According to Reuters there are currently 60 Americans detained in other countries. How many can you name?
How many has the country rallied behind?
How many has the President spoken publicly about?
dont respond with emotion and miss the point
in that I said in the beginning paragraph that the WNBA charade and storyline does not actually matter in the grand scheme of things
similar to how you posted "60 people detained" and then tried to drop some pseudo questionnaire that basically aligns with how I feel anyways
I'm saying, just like the other 60 people this is only being blown up because of WNBA... but its also being downplayed because its WNBA too.... when in reality its exactly like you said ... another average statistic. The president talking about specifically her is exactly what I meant when I said "being a martyr" they are playing like she's important while also shytting on her for only being WNBA ... when in fact russia pays and treated her better until this situation.
my whole point was to show that shes stuck in situational judgement, during terrible timing and used as a pawn. But you cant be a pawn and also deemed worthless at the same time. She's getting dragged really for no reason from both sides... and all she did was her job... you can hold the weed accountable but any other time in reality... she would not be charged the same way. They would have fined her heavily and she would have continued to play in Russia during offseason and probably had to do propaganda shyt saying how amazing it is and more revenue and people should come contribute.
People not using those white men their as martyrs. They've been their longer,so because she's black and famous the US government suppose to release an arms dealer and murder?
Hear me clearly, the situation is beyond fukked,but again, the president got on TV and told the country DO NOT GO TO RUSSIA AND IF YOU'RE CURRENTLY IN RUSSIA COME HOME. She didn't care to listen and this is the result.
Now the matter is geopolitical.
I often wonder if Brittany didn't go over would anyone give a flying fukk about the two other men that's over their.
We all know the answer
and same situation, nobody said white men were your martyrs
this post is worse than the one above. I said she is being used. Which is obvious because that's why we are in this thread. I never said she wasnt guilty or accountable like your second sentence. My WNBA debate was based around all the people in here who said "Well fukk the WNBA and they are broke bum bytches" .... the NBA owns the WNBA so it is their responsibility as a billion dollar, global company to care...
not to just fukk off and separate the WNBA into its own entity when it doesnt feel like contributing to their own accountability of ownership
yall are both saying it doesnt matter and quoting me... when I'm saying the same shyt. None of the shyt matters. Its only being blown up based around her being on TV ... but its being downplayed as "She's just a bum bytch in WNBA" that's not her fault... thats the NBA's policy that devalues the womens basketball brand. She's catching blame for a simple marijuana charge... all the other shyt is extra talking points.
people are saying generic shyt in here and dodging the fact that alot of responsibility is on the same shyt you are giving a pass to
if you pretend WNBA under NBA is bum bytch shyt and losing money, and they should let it die or stop caring
then you have to wonder how other countries can afford to pay women players 3x more without NBA
I dont see how that shyt adds up to 30 pages of people in here. Its a separate convo ... you're saying Russia Basketball has more power and money than the NBA to create better contracts?
I wanna feel bad but this is on her. And unfortunately she’ll now be used as a political pawn. Hold ya head BG.
