Brittney Griner doesn’t deserve 9 years in prison for weed. She deserves it for saying she could beat Demarcus Cousins in a 1v1
"How are you supposed to approach the game ... with a clear mind and the whole group is crying before the game?"

Brittney Griner just found out that being BLACK, FEMALE & LESBIAN only gets you points here, in the country she hates.
I’ll never forget that the reason Brittney Griner was in another country in the first place is because she wasn’t being paid equitably in the WNBA. This is about race, hostage, sexuality, gender, and especially pay gaps. But we’d rather be mad at her for having cannabis oil.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: How dare Russia sentence Brittney Griner to 9 yrs in prison for marijuana? We usually give at least 20!
So happy Brittney Griner moved to a place where she doesn’t have to worry about hearing that nasty AMERICAN ANTHEM anymore 😂
@skytownfan23 people defending brittney griner getting NINE YEARS for less than a gram of weed...it's screaming racism and misogyny to me. i hope all of y'all get arrested for speeding and labeled as criminals for it lmao
Unpopular opinion: I don’t really care that Brittney Griner has really dumb and ungrateful political takes. I still think she should be brought back asap and that an American shouldn’t spend 9 years in Russian jail for marijuana.
There are Americans who have been locked in American jails for marijuana for years right now... so unless everyone screaming about Brittney Griner does something about that, they're all hypocrites.
Kyle Rittenhouse murdered a human,
Brittney Griner had a flower in her suitcase.
Tulsi Gabbard -- who eviscerated Kamala Harris over her fixation with imprisoning non-violent drug offenders -- is on Fox talking about the surreal absurdity of Harris and Biden condemning Russia for imprisoning Brittney Griner as the USG continues to do the same to Americans.
Outraged about 9 years for Brittney Griner in Russian prison for marijuana? You should be. Meanwhile, in the US, Allen Russell is serving *life without parole* in Mississippi for marijuana. While 40,000 others incarcerated in the US for marijuana. “American exceptionalism.”
https://t.co/GdULrTIO4fLa estrella estadounidense Brittney Griner fue declarada culpable de tráfico de drogas en Rusia y fue sentenciada a nueve años de prisión el jueves. ¿Cómo se explica esta situación que tiene tintes que nos devuelven a los tiempos de la Guerra Fría? Abro hilo.
https://t.co/E4Wo3qPmAyFree Brittney Griner!!!!

NEW: Russian and U.S. officials said they are ready to negotiate a prisoner swap to free Brittney Griner.
Audrey Lorber attempted to smuggle 19 grams of marijuana into Russia in 2019. Her punishment? She spent 2 months in prison and had a fine of 15,000 rubles ($235). She ended up being credited for time served and didn’t pay the fine. SO WHY IS BRITTNEY GRINER FACING 9 YEARS?! #WNBA
Brittney Griner and me got the same lawyer

https://t.co/pHFLTJ5wRxRepublicans are laughing at Brittney Griner's sentence because she's black, gay, and a woman — everything conservatives hate.
For those of you caping for Russia, Audrey Lorban, a melanemic woman, was fined $235 for bringing 19 grams of MJ into Russia, over 18 more than Brittney Griner had. They are racist and homophobic and so are you. #FreshResists #RaiseAFist

@CBSNewsLa joueuse de basketball américaine Brittney Griner, accusée de possession illégale de cannabis, condamnée à 9 ans de prison...
Purée 9 ans pour du cannabis dans une vapoteuse, pourtant je ne suis pas fumeur.
Quelle idée aussi d'aller en Russie dans le contexte actuel ?
