okay, I will..... stupid criminal!!!! How ya like that?

For your consideration ...

I believe the Russians are going out of their way to make it hard on this woman, but circumstances worked against her and she did break the law.

To me the smart thing for the Russians to do now would be to pardon her and deport her and ban her from their country. Why feed , clothe and support her for 9 years? What's to gain?

She broke the law and then got caught in political BS.
Despite as tall as she is her B-Ball career is over in 9 years.

Pardon her? Oh hell no. Her sentencing has a two pronged effect. 1) That regardless of where you are from, Russian laws will apply. 2) The Russian people themselves see an "American", of somewhat now high profile, being charged, found guilty, and thrown in jail, makes them think twice about doing something similar. And 3) Absent the skirmish in Ukraine, the outcome would have been the same. Apparently laws are enforced in Russia.


As far as trading her? She isn't worth anything, in a trade scenario. The offer from the US to trade her for Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker, as well as conspiring to kill Americans, acquire and export anti-aircraft missiles, and provide material support to a terrorist organizations, is asinine. Maybe trade Viktor Bout for someone of higher value to the US such an intelligence official or the like. But for a stupid basketball player? Let her rot. Also, let's not forget other stupid Americans doing similar stupid things in other countries that have been convicted and jailed. No State Department or White House actions on those individuals.

I could have sworn she was a man. I had to Google "Is Brittney Griner a man?"

High testosterone levels.

the “races” may reflect different testosterone levels that affect growth and development as well
as maintenance of the adult form. While the data are not complete, consider that black women
produce more testosterone than white women.
I think the effects of testosterone on melanocytes first occurs in
utero. In utero, black fetuses are exposed to higher levels of
testosterone. “Black mothers had higher androstenedione and testosterone
concentrations than white mothers.” (Cancer Causes Control 2003; 14: 347-
55) "Serum testosterone was modestly, but significantly, greater in the
black than in the white women." (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1996; 81: 1023-6.
I suggest melanocytes are stimulated by increased testosterone during
gestation in blacks.

Yes, there are scientific differences

I didn't say how I( felt about her arrest only that it's pretty dumb for Russia to keep this woman when they could be well rid of her.

Griner checks all the boxes to foment unrest at her being held. Biden will be jumping through hoops for the crazed left. Putin is

From the voice, I thought it was a man, too.

Are we still taking about Griner, or Michelle "Mike" Obama?

It is ray sis to point that out, however.

Ray's sis doesn't have the same negative impact it did 20 years ago. They've watered it down to the point that normal people don't care if they're labeled as such.
