She is not wrongfully detained, she is on trail for breaking their law.
So I guess guilty until proven innocent doesn't work on your head. I suppose you were also there when she supposedly bought these hash cartridges.
How is everyone so blindly ignorant to what the Russian government is able to do and what they're doing??? Do you all stand back so idle and accusatory this is going to happen to our government eventually all over the world.
Since Cannabis is a sacred plant to many religions, Russian ‘laws’ amount to religious discrimination. Russia is a Nazi country.
Could be worse. In some Asian countries they kill ya. You bringing in drugs, you're done. Dead as a knob.
She pleaded guilty but somehow wrongfully detained hahaha
And if YOUR DAUGHTER made the MISTAKE of living something in her bag that she may have forgotten about.
She’s supposedly a lawyer and somehow is appalled when a country is enforcing their own laws.
I’m sorry what?
Hey American, why are so many of your women Gay? Is it because American men are too puny to satisfy them? Hahahaa.
The laws are appalling unjust
@@0Shane13 According to who? You?
She's a lawyer, but she's still a blk female. No amount of education can fix the stupidity that comes with that.
Appalled that because a female black lesbian and a pro BB player isn't given leniency like here in america
How is she “wrongfully detained”? Just because it’s accepted in your country doesn’t mean it is for others. We must learn to respect other countries laws
Yup. She admitted to doing what she was accused of. How is that wrongful detention?
Any idiot with half a brain can see this is purely political. The typical amount of time given for that offense in Russia is usually 1-3 years.
Maybe coerced to admit guilt? Who knows. They said she's an attorney.
It’s not legal here but they will give you a fine and tell you to make sure you check your bag before bringing it in next time But 10 years in prison for a Vape pen that’s too much let’s be real there are people in this country who have committed murder and didn’t even do 10 years
A corrupt law based in lies and evil is no law at all. Cannabis is a God given plant and no man has a right to imprison another for the use of it. Absurd and if you feel this is just, I hope you are shown the light.
If Britney was just a regular person no one would even be thinking about this, if America put this much effort on doing what’s right for all, America would be great
💯agree
@Domo *they’re*
She is just a regular person
She doesnt respect the country shouldnt expect to receive any back
It is a regular person, no one really cares about this dysfunctional freak.
The term "wrongfully detained" is just flat out disinformation. Russia has laws about bringing drugs into their country. They have set penalties. Griner knew bringing drugs into the country was illegal. She did it anyway and is being punished according to their laws. If we want other countries to respect our laws then we should respect theirs. Nothing wrongful about her detainment in the slightest.
Yeah but we're practically at war with them? Imagine that being your loved one.
@@alexisk8312 nobody would carey
@@alexisk8312 thing is if that was my love one it wouldn’t get any attention from the public, she shouldn’t get out cuz she a celebrity
Why are you assuming that she knew ? I didn’t know
Soooo, we're just gonna believe everything the Russian say? I guess there are Nazi's in Ukraine. Smh.
She broke the law, I don't understand why people are shocked. When you go abroad, you are subject to and expected to respect the laws. Like anywhere else.
Punishment should match the crime. I dont like her politics nor the public gay movement being forced on ppl or the kids but thats no reason to lock her up for years over a tiny amount of personal use substance.
It wasnt anthrax.
A year maybe 2 then deport her.
I agree do the crime do the time... she knew it was illegal. I hope she gets sentenced for the 10 years tbh... just cause she plays basketball doesn't mean she should get special treatment.
@@cryptokingas8443 I agree.
Problem with 10 yrs for minicule amounts of substance does not match the crime.
You sound a bit disgruntled. Has your life not turned out as you thought it should?
Do you resent this gay black women and her successes? Have you been a failure?
She broke the laaaw!
@@sorzin2289 exactly.... people are tripping like Russia is the bad guy. If a Russian got caught with cocain in an airport here or any drugs do you think we'd just say "hey we're gonna confiscate these and let you off with a warning, have a safe flight!" Hell no!
This is so juvenile on so many levels. The choices and decisions we make have consequences it's just that simple. Perhaps 9 years is rather harsh but she is in another country and she has to play by their laws.
Exactly they are acting like they hunted her down and made all this up.. she took a gamble and it didn’t work. 9 years is a long time and murderers barely get that here
Why is it that their rules changed now? when they let another women with more weed then her off with 2 months?
@@KimmyLL1890 I'm not an expert on Russian laws but the same thing happens here in the USA. Some people get the max sentence for lesser crimes then others.
@@thrillsteel2252 and you don’t see the issue with that bs?
@@KimmyLL1890 I did state in my first post that I thought 9 years was rather harsh for her crime. So yes, I do have a problem with that. However, it still remains that our choices and decisions have consequences. Also, if you look back at other situations similar to this where a person is being held hostage or imprisoned in another country, we can see things typically don't happen over night but in some cases the people were eventually released and sent back to the USA.
This woman refused to play in Indiana because she’d be “discriminated” against, advocated against the national anthem and decided to take her business to Russia (no discrimination there I’m sure) and broke their laws.
Then she got classified as wrongfully detained SOLELY because of her d list celebrity status and intersectional traits and begged the country she repeatedly disrespected to save her from the country she apparently preferred to live her life in.
Yea. Hard pass Brit. Don’t spend any time on this woman’s release. Let’s focus on bringing home ACTUALLY wrongfully detained people who didn’t break any laws.
Nailed it 👍

How was she wrongfully detained? She attempted to bring an illegal substance into a foreign country 🤦♂️
That wrongful detained tag sounds like some political jargon. I once would not eat my vegetables when I was little and was sent to my room to what seemed like an eternity. So I guess I was wrongful detained as well. IJS.
You can get detained in dubai for just basically being a Christian. In iran you can get killed for being a christian so country laws does not give them any excuse for treating a human being like this.

Just because it's legal in your country doesn't mean it's legal for every country. I don't understand how people don't understand this.

LOL at "Grinder." Just another closet-case on the app!!!!
She broke the law.
She needs to do the time.
PERIOD!
And she's a woman beater. I guess you can be a woman beater as long as you're a woman.
How you dummies don’t know it was planted there. She’s been in Russia for years not to know the law of the country. She would not in her right mind have vape in luggage if it’s against the law.

Why should anyone get a free pass on breaking laws just because it’s legal where they’re from or because they didn’t know the law?
KEEP HER! SHE WASN'T WRONGFUL DETAINED AT ALL!
She's played in Russia for years and must have known the law in some way. Unless she thinks it didn't apply to vape oils etc. It can't be the first time she took her vape and oils over unless it is. Either that or she's been doing it and only now been caught. I'd feel sorry for anyone facing ten years for marijuana but laws are laws and Russia is not anywhere else.
Yea 10 years is extreme

How is the possibility of her being used as a political playing card not been considered with all the other things you listed to consider... How has no one thought the government planted because the US government has alway Russian major arms dealer. They want him back. There is a much bigger picture here that people are frighteningly, not seeing.
I can't believe what ppl right about her. She plays for crumbs as a female player in the USA compared to the male players. She is a star athlete and that seems not to count. All female athletes make a whole lot less than the males. Furthermore everyone talks like they are so perfect. No compassion there. I am also calling on USA who detain ppl for years and decades for a little bit of weed. How nobody stands up for them!!!

Ha. No chance of that
This is the only WNBA trade that has ever made headlines.
I wish they would stop saying she was wrongfully detained. She brought a drug that is legal in most states of the USA but ILLEGAL in another country and she was caught!!!
I'm a stoner. I know not to f around on international flights (ie DOUBLE check bags). If this was me no one would give af.
EXACTLY, oh but she was wrongfully detained, yet in the videos she is calm as a cucumber when the airport security is going through her bags, not even making any fuss about being detained.This whole story is BS, and keeps getting undeserved attention because she is a WNBA "star" bunch of crap.
So true💯
it was likely planted
Thank you!
@@karinpawluk4376 By whom? She a known partaker.

She probably believes the rules and laws here in the US don’t apply to her either.
Wrongfully detained????? Not in Russia under Russian law. She's right where she is supposed to be
I'm just disgusted by how some people live their lives.

Entitled Brittney Grindr being held responsible for her illegal actions is great in my opinion
How is she wrongfully detained when she broke their law? Or was that not the case?
So how do you get your status changed to wrongfully detain when you break a law in a foreign country?
I spent a year as a contracter in Saudi Arabia and before I left at our orientation they told us if we break the law over there there is NOTHING that they can do for us. She is lucky she is in Russia and not in the Middle East. The laws for drugs in Saudi Arabia is death. She needs to do the time. She broke the law. She is no better than anyone else over there.
How do you know the drugs weren't planted on her by the Russian People In Government (i.e. PIGs). I think she was set up and it now a POW in a time of war.

I hope she's learn the lesson. Top priority should be saving kids in foster care not someone that broke the law!
She said she travels to Russia to play because she can't make enough money in the WNBA to sustain her life. She gets a base salary of over 220 grand, has a million dollar deal with Nike and gets paid for commercials and other endorsements. Sounds like she really needs the extra money.
This is simple do not feel sorry for her. I traveled to Florida from WA. I made a point to not travel with Weed. I smoke daily and am responsible. This is not a story because she made a mistake. If you travel overseas you are "subject to the lands of the job". She went in Feb when we knew the war was on the brink. You make your bed and lay in it.

The reality is that there are consequences for bad choices. You are not in the US where you are privileged as an athlete, or a politician. The rules apply to all. Justice is supposed to be blind. When you are privileged, lady justice lifts the blindfold and takes a peek. Not in foreign countries.

Even in the US people are put away for possession of marijiuana. The hypocrisy is what I don't understand.
I like that and agree.
Brittney Griner is not more important than any other Politically held prisoner she sure doesn't deserve preference over others
Love the way Cherelle explains the detainment, as "they have me in this room, and I don't know what's going on"..She couldn't add to the interview the fact that Griner knew exactly what was going on, and was caught trying to smuggle a controlled substance, got caught, and is paying the price, not getting "celebrity exemption" because she plays basketball. Why is she a "political pawn"? Why shouldn't all detained smuggler's be able to contact the POTUS and ask to be released, one of them might just be a great bricklayer or auto mechanic!
Having your medicine isn’t smuggling u old dinosaur
I did not follow the rumor and media information for general people. I did my research for 2 months to figure out why BG was wrongfully detained. Here is the proof (Russian criminal law) . She was taken hostage. Here is the proof Russian criminal law Art 228 Article 228 of the Criminal Code. Illegal acquisition, storage, transportation, manufacture, processing of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues She was taken as hostage.
I could understand if she forgot like half a joint or something in her bag ! But cartridges of hash ? She has traveled back and fourth from Russia knowing there rules and they don’t play ! 10 years is really harsh ! But can you imagine what happens to people that aren’t athletes or everyday regular people? She is lucky that all these people are at least trying to help her !
Especially since she's publicly stated she doesn't like America & we're so unfair so maybe she should just have her wish & stay there.
Marc Fogel an American teacher got 14 years for the same crime in Russia yet no one talks about him.
Agree! That looked like a lot of vape cartridges for a short stay, sounds more like she was loaded up for a party. Each of those pens is likely 1gm cartridges which is a felony in Texas, here are the other penalties:
Found with less than a gram, you face up to two years in prison and fines up to $10,000.
Found with one to four grams, you face up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $10,000.
Found with four or more grams, you face up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $10,000.
She did have a medical prescription but that only works in the US. So, the penalties are very consistent with US policy. Sounds like Russia actually gave her a break.
I can't believe her wife said that she had to go to Russia to work because that she could not make enough money here in the United States to sustain her life. Yet her wife is a lawyer & she is a big time basketball player. Just how much money do you really need to have a good life?!! And now it just shows about being greedy about having too much mmj products with you that are against the law & illegal in Russia & trying to pull a bunch of BS by saying you didn't know that stuff was in your things has really gotten you in trouble from breaking the law with illegal substances. At least you were honest by pleading guilty cuz you know that those mmj products were yours & you know that you did & were breaking the law all along ever since you have been in Russia & going back & forth to Russia all along with illegal mmj products that you were flying with out of the country. You just got lucky that you never got busted early until just recently. (& you also know that it's illegal to be flying in & out of the USA & another Country with illegal substances on you that you have been doing for years obviously) And you know that you have known what the laws are in Russia about having illegal drugs of Marijuana products & you also know that it doesn't matter if you have a mmj card from a doctor in the United States cuz it would only apply to the State that you got the mmj card from no where else, not even in the United States much less than in another Country. So why is this continuing going on when this wouldn't be happening for anyone else from the United States, nor would the President consider trading anyone for another person he would leave them there. & no one would be hearing about this at all other than you are a woman that has a lot of money, playes Basketball & gay. So if you do get the help from the President You Owe It To The Other People Stuck In Other Countries For Drugs To Pay It Forward To Help Them Also To Get Out To Come Home.
@Domo I think that's only if it is actual weed product. The vape pens are highly concentrated product so the standard is different.
I don’t understand why people think that if they get caught in a foreign country with pot that it’s not a big deal. Zero tolerance means zero tolerance. They’re not gonna say ok it’s just a little hash, let her go. Then they expect their country to intervene and get them out. Why would they, and why should they? I live in a country that has decriminalised cannabis, I would never dare bring some with me overseas. Scary.

@ Anthony Martinez
Right!
Brittney Griner is not a victim. The problem with some Americans they think their privilege extend to other countries. They think they can do whatever they want without facing any consequences for their action
Yes. It's important to remember other countries don't have freedom. Thank you for the reminder namur.
💯
You’re assuming that the Russians are not a bunch of lying cocksuckers Who didn’t plant The drugs on her to hold her as a pawn
The other thing you have to understand is if Russia did not have nuclear weapons right now and nobody was protecting them a.k.a. China it would be wiped off the map and it wouldn’t exist anymore courtesy of the USA
Americans think they're privileged and act like jackass on other countries... And which humbling beautiful country would you be from?
Why is our country not doing anything about brittanys detention
If the weed was for legitimate medicinal purposes, why didn't she just explain/reveal that very important fact before she entered the country.
She was legimately/legally detained, tried and found guilty. Good Riddance, and since Lebron James seems to be so dissatisfied with his life in this country, why don't we send him over there for 9 years to keep her company.
If I had a doctor's note for let's say opium, that wouldn't cover me in another country no matter what the use was for medical or not. Depends on the nations laws.
@@ambersykora352 Yeah, I recall hearing/reading that this was one of the defense ploys used by her attorneys. I guess when you have no case, why the hell not.
Noooooooo, she knew it was illegal there and now she has to face the consequences. Definitely no trade for an international arms dealer
Nope. Serve the time
Just cuz she's a celebrity doesn't mean she can break their laws and just walk free. If she did the crime, she should do the time.
Yeaaaaa.man up
Sure, but nine years is ridiculous
I agree. But 9years is way over board.
A long time ago, Russia tried to get their guy out. They always use this tactic. They did it with Israel. And Putin said they would use it again in the future. When traveling abroad, don't take anything for granted.
How can she be a spouse for another female?
Sorry to say it was pretty dumb to bring vape into a foreign country. I travel abroad when I can afford it, and you do not under any circumstances break their laws. Especially Russia. She went to play for Russia for the money. Guess she made a big mistake.

My thing is she has to have been doing this before but now it’s a problem nah fam sum ain’t right
This time it didn't work there's a war going on each side is looking for a pond a chip in the game no matter how large or small. My opinion stay calm and pray.
@@TheManTheyCallJBKINGJB it doesnt matter if she got away with it before.
Nice to hear a woman holding another woman to a level of respectful Responsibility devoid of excuses
She not wrongfully detained but 10 years is ridiculous
You are 💯 right
Yea but it is what it is. It’s Russia not America.
Eye rolls this whole circus. Shame on all these ppl who call evil good and good evil.
the last column of my sentence",I left out a word, it", doesn't it
I think there are more important "top priorities" in this world right now.
More top priorities period..
If yo' ass was in a Russian gulag, you'd be crying like a little bitch.
yes because black women are last priority. we know. that's the whole point. Ive seen Trump get rappers and other celebs (both black and white) out of trouble for worse
That dude has been to Russia many times and was probably told not to bring that crap. Sucks to be him. He did it to himself.
And they also now know she is a he .
They don't coddle LGBT over there and give into their demands . Let him stay and deal
Yep!
Thank you glad I'm not the only one noticing the obvious which is probably the larger reason they are going after them for smuggling contraband. I think we all know this
"wrongfully detained" ?. How's that then ?
I'm still pissed that Brittney Griner did not want to stand for the national anthem and said she doesn't think it should be played. She is not wrongfully detained.
10 years! Yes! Hope SHE learn a lesson! SHE! 😂😂😂
Did she have drugs on her or not, what about that question...not gonna ask that.
How is breaking the law wrongfully detained?
If it were a straight white woman nothing would be said. But because she is a black lesbian and a sports athlete its in the spot light.
The false entitlement that the USA allows for celebrities to have, does not apply overseas.
@E Double best comment ever!
July 2020 - Brittney Griner says she will no longer be on the court for ANY game during the playing of the U.S. Anthem. Wish granted
Well she's true to her words.
Lmao
Looks like she has a new "court" for the 9 years. She deserves what she got wow isn't Karma something.
Good enough.
Lol.
Good. That was her right
I wonder if she tried to stop her from taking the pen with her
The biggest lesson here is AMERICANS DONT GO TO RUSSIA!!!!! Simple
She thought she was going to go to another country and break there laws
love how the comments section tells you the true state of affairs after getting rid of the dislike button. pay attention gen z this is what CONSEQUENCES look like. most of the world actually thinks this way.. 😂
A woman may choose to be a lesbian to another woman, now, as for a woman becoming the wife of another woman? THIS CANNOT BE DONE!
God doesn’t recognize such apostasy!
I am EXTREMELY CONFUSED WHY WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU GO TO THESE PLACES THAT ARE SO EVIL AND YOU KNOW THE DEVILS ARE RUNNING THOSE PLACES STOP STOP STOP GOING TO PLACES LIKE THIS
She worked there for many years earning over a mil playing ball. Russia was safe for US athletes until Biden was placed into office. The world is capitalizing on this weak administration and now is our chance to get all Dem's out of office.
She broke the law!…🙄🙄🙄🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Didn't she disrespect the American national anthem??? Well now she doesn't have to hear it for 9 years so she must be happy.
Why should BG be charged with drug-smuggling when all she did was smuggle drugs?
A good friend told me this years ago…” if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.”
Every International Airport wherever you go has a sign that all bags are subject to search. When they x-ray you cannot have toothpaste anything in any kind of container that be transported from one country to another. You have to purchase new personal hygiene supplies whenever you travel anywhere's on a airplane. Unless you got documentation saying it is medical you cannot have any particular product with you. She had broke the law in multiple airport no matter what anybody says. The rule is you do the crime you do the time no matter who you are what color what race or wherever you're from or what gender you are. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!
She has crisscrossed airports her entire adult life without any incident of any kind. Given all the rules you cited, why would anyone blindly assume she committed a crime now? Why would anyone blindly accept Putin's word for ANYTHING, especially after what he did to Trevor Reed?
@@OtmShank94 I agree with you on a lot of points. But when you travel internationally you know they searched for drug paraphernalia or anything else like that you know neither to carry it on the plane. So when you do carry it you're taking a risk getting caught Brittney Griner just got caught with their goods that's how it is same has no exit through the airport when you got drugs or paraphernalia on you've gone any where. Quit asking for the country that had the president could bail you out of trouble. Then he stopped using race and gender pay Gap in order as excuse for a reason why they do crimes just own up to it and do the time!
@@mikewilliams4754 Brittney got caught with drugs, even as a very experienced international traveler? Really? Which drugs did she have? In what amounts?
In this day and time security has tightened and not letting anybody get away with stuff due to the fact of what's going on and whether anything's being brought through the country that's going to be negative. Drug they don't know drugs are going to be brought diseases anything that could cripple country where they cannot come up with the vaccine for it. Dave may have overlooked her in the past because her status as a WNBA Superstar about bringing it through. But it's about time they start cracking down I stopping and transporting of illegal stuff through the airport evening percent in the liquid form in a vape canister. Terrorists can get anything through i so you was running a airport or country wouldn't you tighten the security with everything that's going on now. Or would you just let anything come through and destroy where you live. Let that decision be on your shoulders not our we don't live there we're just a guest when we go into other countries cuz the US does not allow that here.
@@OtmShank94 they blindly accept Putin's word because it's his country! That's how it goes!!!
How is she wrongfully detained. When she travels to a foreign country with drugs
There are plenty of people in American prisons for marijuana-related offences. If her being arrested is wrong the US should free the ones they charged for the same offence and expunge their records BEFORE labelling her Russian arrest as WRONGFULLY detained.
Omg !!!
She should of known better
Now it's heartbreaking bcuz she is a WNBA player
But if it was a normal citizen no one would talk about this
She knew better, it’s all about who you are, at least who you “think”you are. Go to prison.
Should have. Not, should of.
Nobody watches WNBA anyways
To all,, his or her what ever it is supporters send in the LGBT army to Russia .
