LEBRON JAMES: If I Were Brittney Griner ...I'D QUESTION GOING BACK TO USA

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Y’all realize other Americans are locked up over there too right? Do you think they are all black? It’s Russia. They’re not letting anyone out easily, especially an American athlete, when they are in the middle of invading another country

This wouldn't even be a story if it was a regular citizen. People trying act like she's entitled to special privileges when it comes to punishment for breaking laws because she's a black female athlete.

That's what it's really about. Politics.

There was literally a coli thread a few weeks ago that said the same thing and many folks agreed

There are lot of stupid people on the coli. And even if they weren't stupid, they aren't Lebron James on TV saying whatever it is they're sayin.

Not much of a fan but Bron's take is spot on. The US is sending Bill Richardson, a cac with zero authority to negotiate, as if the Russians will have any incentive to deal with that dude. Brittny Griner is realizing that the US government "Is just not that into her."

WHAT IS THE LGTB DOING ABOUT THIS?

THEYRE SO QUICK TO MOB UP
AND BULLY BLACK PPL AT THE
DROP OF A DIME BUT SPENT
THE WHOLE GAY MONTH TURNING UP
INSTEAD OF RALLYING FOR GRINER.

Bron really just riding for his WNBA sister. This is his way of supporting her and the WNBA family. I’m sure they appreciate what he’s saying mainly because there’s nothing anyone can really do about it other than bring light to the subject.

Nuance makes this a complicated issue but on basic terms you wish that your country could get you out of a bind like this. Everybody knows the reality but best believe throughout the circles Bron’s in especially the WNBA, they feel a similar way. He just the biggest spokesmen for the feeling.

This was obvious. But people will play stupid, and pretend they didn't understand what he meant. They did that same chit when he talked about the Morey tweet while being in China. People will consistently scream "Bron sided with China!!" then when you actually bring his words into it they normally scurry away like rats.

Man
Why say shyt if you going to walk it back?
Sound like a cac
"Our beautiful country"

In all fairness all we saw that a sound bite and not the full conversation

This did happen in the last clip of the shop, where all we heard was Bron wanting to go to the Warriors if he could pick from the playoff teams remaining...... when in the actual show he said he wanted to stay a Laker and laughed that this would get him into trouble no matter what answer.

 

[Big Boss]

Are state department phone calls with Russia public info and I'm unaware? How do you know they aren't making an effort? How do you know if Russia is even willing to exchange her? People are making assumptions based on their own cynicism

And that's another thing. Russia don't have to exchange her
