It's the WNBA's fault she was detained in Russia and is a hash addict. Due to the WNBA not paying players enough, she has to go overseas to get a second job to support her retirement and hash addiction. I read this from the article below. Sounds to me the WNVA is her side hustle. Griner situation.
Quote:Most importantly, had she been offered an opportunity to make $1 million in America instead of Russia, Griner could have avoided jail time under a hostile foreign power.
I can only assume she has absolutely ZERO endorsements and is living a pauper's life.

She can stay there. If it's easy to get her out, then do it. But my guess is that it isn't going to be, and I wouldn't move any mountains to get her out. She hasn't been exactly a paragon of good behaviour here.

thc concentrate (oil/hash/edibles) was considered a manufactured drug in the same class as heroin.
.01-1 grams = 1 year MANDATORY MINIMUM
1.01-2 grams = 2 years MANDATORY MINIMUM
2.01-3 grams = 3 years MANDATORY MINIMUM
a couple vials would be over 2 grams, so 5 years ago she would have had to serve 3 years MANDATORY in the state of Mississippi.
since then they have dropped the MANDATORY MINIMUM but check out the penalties...

I feel the same way about athletes who get suspended for smoking as well. If you want to be an athlete, you dont smoke weed. When you retire from your short athletic career, you can smoke for the rest of your life.
No sympathy.
You convinced she’s been smoking or vaping or anything else?
Not a “celebrity” hostage take?
I’m not.
Seems to be pretty typical commie propaganda and looking for some kind of leverage.
What was that UVA kids name that stole a wall poster in NK? They sent him home dead.
Otto Warmbeier.
There's nothing like seeing how criminal justice is handled overseas to appreciate our rights here in the U.S.
I just hope this doesn’t lead to even greater diplomatic tensions. I would not want to be in that room when the negotiators meet, deciding which country is stuck with her and for how long.
