I bet she will still hate our country but for not being able to get her released. She will change her narrative to “if I was a rich white man, I would’ve been released” or some other shit. The thing about leftists is they never take personal responsibility, it’s always someone else’s fault. I hope she serves all 9 years and they’re harsh years. A compromise I wouldn’t mind seeing is splitting that sentence with some of the other woke athletes who hate America such as LeChina James. They can each do 4.5 years in general population in a Russian prison.
America is a country so racist and oppressive that people refuse to leave despite having no laws forcing them to stay.
And I hope they don't give her credit for the months she's been in jail.
If she never again glimpses American shores, I'd be just fine with that. It would be just one less spoiled, entitled, ungrateful America-hating leftist in this country.
She may be swapped. Then again, she may not be swapped. Either way, you can bet your bottom dollar that she's crying in her cell right now. Now she sees what an oppressive country is really like, and that is justice.

Is it possible this conviction is for show, the prisoner swap will go down later. This would prop up Biden and his agenda to diminish our country. The Russki's benefit without firing a shot and come across as willing to listen to reason. Win-win.

The prisoner swap will occur, 9 years for cannabis charge, will give the Potatus a reason to trade a homicidal maniac for a lesbian, black, leftist, American hating douchebag, whoose only skill is she can bounce a rubber ball.
Potatus will give her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the Rose Garden once she’s back in the country she loathes.

I think Putin is trying to harass us, due to our support for Ukraine. IMO he does not realize that 95% of us here are thrilled that she is detained in Russia.

Ha.
We may swap for her later, but we shouldn't. She is a common criminal/idiot. I'd swap a spy for a spy - a spy is working for us, not just playing stupid games.

But all those voting blocks are already voting Dem.
The NBA subsidizes the WNBA to keep it alive, because nobody cares about women's pro basketball. Want pay equal to the NBA? Then, start playing at that level, attract the same size crowds, sell as much merchandise, etc.
That's never going to happen. The WNBA is a virtue-signalling joke, filled with untalented women. By all rights, the WNBA shouldn't exist as a business entity, because it sells an undesirable product and cannot sustain itself.
Oh, and all of that excuses the fact that Griner knowingly committed a crime in a foreign nation, huh?

And if I could have ever learned to hit the curve ball or throw 100mph left handed with movement, i would have been a MLB player. My current occupation just doesn’t pay the same. It’s a real injustice that an overweight middle age guy can’t make 10mm a year working 3rd shift at Walmart. I feel the CNN pain. Clearly This is all WNBA franchisees fault. If only they had paid those women millions to play in empty high school gyms. Better let those pro golfers who quit the PGA to go make multiples of what they were earning here to just show up in Dubai. Better let those guys know to not screw around and get caught with dope. Pretty sure those Muslim countries have some curious laws as well
The WNBA stands to lose dozens of dollars in revenue over this incident.
