Media really wants people to care Griner is locked up in a Russian prison, but...

[FultzNationRISE]

It seems nobody does :roll:

Like it’s pretty obvious Russia is doing it’s part to hang onto her as an assist to western media in building a big anti-Russia propaganda buzz... but simply not enough people care :lol

Like US media will run a headline about it every week trying to create some hype and outrage etc, but if you look at activity on social media, far more people are paying attention to the Johnny Depp trial and other frivolous things.

Like, the media thought the whole country would rally around this LGBTQ+ athlete and elevate her to some kind of national folk hero.... but absolutely nobody cares :lol

Somehow I just find that hilarious.

People being imprisoned for nothing isn't funny unless you're a psychopath.

You arent very cerebral so I can forgive you for not understanding what I said, which is that the humor is in the MEDIA’S failure to turn Grinder into some establishment folk hero. Im not laughing at the fact shes IN prison, but rather the media’s inability to make it a story of national interest, despite their self serving attempts to do so.

[Im Still Ballin]

If the USA really cared about her, they'd do that trade for the Russian arms dealer.

But I guess Uncle Sam doesn't like the deal.

:confusedshrug:

Why people go to other countries with narcotics and think it's not a big deal? How stupid can you be to do something lkike that?

We sure do have a short attention span. The media doesnt even really care about Ukraine anymore. As far as Britney. All I can think about now is her playing bball topless. And not in a good way. I will not link the video.

[red1]

oh shit she's still locked up. completely forgot about that.

[GimmeThat]

if she can keep up with the pace, I'd say she's a Haslem level player for starter.

[Atlantis]

It's not that we don't care, it's that what Russia has done in Ukraine as a whole is so much worse than what they're doing to Griner that it doesn't really register.

[ArbitraryWater]

Thats indeed hilarious

if people got what they truly deserved, what's there to care

If I was Phoenix, I’d offer Paul and Ayton for Griner and the backup point guard from CSKA Moscow.

Smuggling illegal drugs is not "nothing".

She's lucky it wasn't China or Singapore or Abu Dabi or any of the many other countries that have the death penalty for drug smuggling.

Honestly it's embarassing how the NBA allows players to become addicted to weed.

And yes, you can be addicted to weed, because I used to be and Griner and every smoker who needs to risk smuggling dope, is definitely addicted.

Let me steer this away from the troubling political direction this is taking and instead pose an important question:

To be clear….the Orangutan has a sword not you…but it is untrained in its use.

I assume it would just drop it…and now you have a sword unless it gets its hands on you first? Could go wrong a lot of ways.

I'm the guy that asks the question, "If I fight an Orangutan with a sword once per day, how many chickens am I killing"

She broke the ****ing law. Why would anyone feel sorry for her?

but the laws as written enforces others to break it.

[90sgoat]

I just don't get how entitled or stupid you have to be to transport drugs to other countries. It's literally the only thing to never do when travelling.

[Full Court]

She broke the ****ing law. Why would anyone feel sorry for her?

Exactly this. Go to a country like Russia and get busted with drugs, you get what's coming.

Plus in her case specifically, she's an America hater, so I don't want her back. She can sit in a Russian prison and contemplate how blessed she was to be born in the US.

[GimmeThat]

well, the world should know by now, when you hire an American, the salary you give them ought to include legal drugs by American law.

have yet to been told she's being withheld as a Russian citizen
