Rumor is this happened 3 weeks ago.

If you are dumb enough to bring illegal drugs into a foreign country, you deserve what you get.

…although my opinion on the subject is a little more negative than it should be because when I tried to google info on the case while at work, my computer auto corrected from griner to grinder.

Any American in Russia right now isn't all that bright to begin with. Same everytime we hear about some American apprehended in North Korea. Or the ones in Iran, Iraw or Afghanistan right when wars were starting there. Like what did you really expect?

because the wnba don't pay enough so the players are forced to play elsewhere in the offseason

Jussie Smollett to play her in Midnight Express II….

 

[Montalban]

She's a huge star over there. She should have known better than to try and smuggle the hash oil through Russkie security. Its hard to be that stupid or maybe she just felt entitled and she wouldn't get stopped.

Nor should they pay. Watching women's basketball is like watching two retards play chess.

Hard to feel sorry for them

 

[Janus]

I say keep her there.

This happened weeks ago. Before all this.

She’s been in jail since early February

I wonder why we never heard anything. her reps were probably trying to pay a bribe to keep it quiet so it wouldn't affect her WNBA career

I don’t know she would bother to play in the WNBA.

Her WNBA salary is 10% of her total income. If her reps are worried about anything, it should be her Russian career.

Well, I'm surprised she makes that much money here. How could anyone pay money to go watch inferior basketball. heck, they don't even play with a regulation size basketball
