A lesson to respect the law of other countries, if not your own.
She obviously doesn’t respect neither. Toss the keys Russia.
Eye Concur,,,,...
Egg-zactly ...why would you bring cannabis in luggage to Russia of all places...fuck outta hea' that's just idiotic ..hope she learned her lesson.😐
Word.🤞
Send Robert's ass over there too
She committed the crime and confessed to it. You can’t be demanding her release. You can plead, and implore for clemency, not demanding her release and calling it “unlawful”
True agree
She knew what she was doing
Officers like you guys arresting old ladies and little children talking about “it’s the law”
“I don’t care if it can cure cancer it’s illegal” 🤣foh both of you please
They need to let her take her punishment, Russia doesn't care what stupid game she plays, but she's definitely not playing one with them. If it was any other citizen no one would even care, it would be anything but concern. She broke their laws and it's that simple. The fact that she tried to bring the stupid thing back is what's funny, like she couldn't get another one back in the states, she got in with it and pushed her luck getting out and lucky she was NOT. So Boo hoo let's move on to something really important. You'll see her again in 7 yrs or so..
Guilty as charged!!!!!
Shut up.
Its finally in a cage where it belongs.
God it’s just pot she didn’t kill anyone. Lol
@@vincentwaterson3480 You are aware of American exceptionalism???
She made a bad choice and why would the US now want to get involved is beyond me.
cause leftists are DEMANDING tht biden do something lol.
True so true
Agreed.
"Wrongfully detained" She just pled guilty! Just 10 years. At least she won't be subjected to the National anthem.
They're trying to convince me she wrongfully detained. FML. They denied her parole. She's doing 8 year's and will be released in 2030.
When you live a life of entitlement being treated like a normal person seems like oppression
Ha ha!
It was just a damn dab pen y’all are goofies

I keep hearing “ she’s been unlawfully detained “ from her wife !!!! how stupid can she be. 🤦🏽♂️. Maybe have the wife go there too.
Her wife is a lawyer too ffs 😅😅
@@gamma9141 then should have known that illegal drugs is an offense in Russia
Meh, she's dumb.

@@chinenyeodozi7677 yeah I was meaning the same, looks like any clown can be a lawyer these days
I guess she doesn't have to worry about hearing the national anthem. 😹
By the time she finishes her sentence she’ll will know the Russian national anthem by heart!
Who tf is she to deserve preferential treatment? There are other US citizens that are locked up abroad. What about them? She gets no sympathy.
It’s a victimless crime it was just a dab pen goofy

Totally agree!!!

Maximum respect to other countries' borders/frontiers
I'm tired of hearing about this, there are more things that are more important than this person.
Yet here you are, dedicating your time to this. Makes sense.
Dam right This moron broke the law and we are supposed To feel sorry for her what a joke she's right where she belongs
Who’s calling for her release other than her family? Every discussion I see is overwhelmingly AGAINST trading prisoners for her! She’s a drug smuggler for plain and simple!
Also an American who has been in prison for months in a hostile country. Yes she messed up but would you feel differently if she were someone else? Many are calling for her release, shows where you get your information..
Cannabis oil 🧐 yes she is Definitely a Kingpin 😂
@@Nowellintv Exactly! .02 Oz. Dmkfactor is a soulless troll!
Hating on a woman 🤓
@@Nowellintv here not a big deal, but she went to Russia on an international flight with a substance banned here in the US(at the federal level) and in Russia! I say let her do her time! She earned it!
Americans think they should be allowed to break the laws of other countries, without consequence? Will the same apply to foreigners breaking American laws? Or is this something special for Americans only?
Ten of thousands of foreigners break our laws every day. They're called illegal aliens.
Brittney Griner broke Russian law and must face the consequences. She is typical of her kind, mean and stupid and entitled. I hope she rots over there.
Where did you come up that idea. WRONG.
Exactly, there are innocent people that need to be looked after first.
What makes you think so? No American ever said they were so special that they are above any countries law. Non that I know of or have heard. She broke a law knowingly, in a foreign country, neglected to dispose of the substance before getting on the plane, (AFTER she trash talked the USA and pulled a stupid anti-american knee after a few games). She doesn't really like being in the States anyway. So, get it through your foreign bubble, true Americans are personally responsible, and don't go whining for a government tip or handout after demeaning our own country. I wouldn't be suprised if she's actually a bully in real life. Sorry Britteny, you shoulda learned to love your country instead of trashing its name. When she gets back, if she comes back, her legal woes and social problems are not over. Believe me, she's gonna get alot of backlash.
They are not serious!
She protests the national anthem every game. Now she's calling on America for help. Hmmm....naaa. let her rot
Don’t bring her back she HATES this country! Leave the poor girl alone.
I really never heard of her tell now but I read she criticize something's in the usa I'm guessing because she got money thinking it all about her. But she now should face what she did being famous should not give her what she wants. Her wife should know that.
Just leave her, PERIOD. Maybe she'll like Russia better, she's got 9 yrs to make up her mind, or whatever that thing in her head is. And that alien forehead, 👽 😖 I just can't.
@@annacarter4879 she hides in the locker room during the anthem and takes that stupid knee for the flag, she doesn't have to worry about either now. She won't hear the anthem in Russia and definitely won't be bothered with our flag. BUH BYE 👋
Why you talk like dat..how bout situations was reversed and is yoh ass behind bars..wld u b tlkin like dat?? Smh
@@raulericks8585 you really went out of your way to spell like an idiot😄
She did the crime she should do the time. As an athlete she shouldn’t be using illegal drugs! She’s using being a public figure ‘celebrity’ to get a lighter sentence or to get away with that she did. Russia should give her a 10 years sentence! Your wasting the presidents time, everyone’s time for a crime you are guilty of!
Agree
Its just weed chill🥴💀 10 years for something that relaxes your anxiety and helps you sleep that’s makes no sense if you have common sense😅😃😃
@@brookejane8822 she’s an athlete and if you had common sense then you would have already known it is an illegal substance in certain countries and as an athlete she should not be using illegal drugs whilst participating in an professional sporting career. If you’re in a country that has strict laws for drugs then as an visitor you should abide by that law.
Well we Mexican be getting time and deportation for hashishh oil too so same thing. How come we don’t get defended that way
Dear Russia,
Keep her. Most Americans have no sympathy for her, especially since she hates the US. Ten years in prison? Make it 20 years.
Thanks.
The American majority
💋🙈🙉🙊
Russia:noted that😂😂🤣
Life would be better you hate the country so much you reap what you sow
Lol i was gone write it but you did a great job.
"Please stand for the National Anthem" sounds good NOW🙄
Interesting .... this means Brittney Griner now admits to violating US customs regulations by transporting drugs over state lines and internationally.
All this over a chemical in a harmless weed that would flourish
@@melaninmagdalene8531 True,but until laws are changed,offenders are violating that law,right?
@@melaninmagdalene8531 You know you are right! You should go to Russia and get their laws changed regarding it.

It’s not growing…. We don’t want her back
Perhaps she and all those supporting her should respect the laws of the country she was "visiting", instead of committing a crime and then acting like the victim.
She doing 3 to 5 at least. Get used to it. Move on. More important things happening than this person being held accountable.
who cares, you break the law then you better be ready to serve the time
i really dont understand why people can think they can bring drugs into another country and believe its free game
Im an American, born and raised and i say lock her up. Were not all about being a guest in other countries and disrespecting. The whole world doesnt revolve around the States. Own up to your ish. Dont be an embarrassment.
Last I recall she stated that the national anthem had no place in sports? I have no interest in trading her for Russian arms dealers.
How is it unlawful when she broke the law ?
DO THE CRIME, DO THE TIME!!!!!
Seriously? we're considering releasing a convicted arms dealer for a player in a league that only loses money. Are the people in charge taking crazy pills?
Yes. Biden and every person in his administration are batshit crazy.
Brittany griner is 100% guilty and russia don't play no games so 10 years sounds about right....

Nice avoidance of the pronoun👍
@@customersurvey5713 I love that someone suggested after death are they ,"was/were"?

Wow. At least you're open about being a fascist.
Yah you did it call get her home to american
@@bananabread7707 plenty folks here in the states wait years for a trial.. Where you been?
@@RynoKnarr14 Keep her America hating ass in Russia!
@@bananabread7707 they can continue screaming untik their tounges come out.
It seems that most people think she should be held accountable for her actions. I think she should sing the national anthem and maybe more Americans would at least feel bad for her.
maybe more of the people who do sing the national anthem should extend liberty and justice to all Americans.....unilaterally.....
How about America treat all people equally first and then she can sing the National Anthem
Sounds fair huh?
@@tom11zz884 No one is treated unfairly. Everyone has the same opportunity to succeed.
So, if you have issue with any part of American society, you don't deserve its protection? You're no longer an American citizen? Sounds more like North Korea than the "land of the free".
@@tom11zz884 As long as you buy that BS you will forever be miserable.
How is she wrongly detained? It’s there country there laws
GMA, there are only a few people wanted her home. Most people want her to stay in Russia. Report it right! We don't want her back!
omg why? come on because the is NO accountability in the US so your trying to push that on Russia? How are vapes in your bag unintentionally ?
She probably forgot they were in there.
@@golisha5871 well,shes innocent then,lol I forgot the dead body in my trunk,said the murderer....
@@papawmc2345 I’m just pointing out how it could be unintentional. She probably forgot to throw them away before traveling back to Russia. Idk all the details so it’s hard to say. We will have to wait to hear her side of the story.
Also, she took accountability when she pleaded guilty.
@@golisha5871 All because of this person's mistake we will likely end up trading/setting-free a legitimately valuable Russian criminal (arms dealer). You watch and see if that doesn't happen. If that arms dealer goes on to supply weapons that cost people their lives- every single person who pressured the government to release this basketball player will have blood on their hands.
@@golisha5871 Russia's statement today said it was a "large scale amount" . Large amounts arent usually forgot in suitcase on way to Russian airport. Most folks aint buying it and Im sure their courts arent either. Her only hope is a prisoner trade that incredibly will favor Russia.
Will the other prisoners get released too? Some have been there a long time.
I certainly hope so.
She's "woke" now.
This woman pled guilty to a major drug charge in Russia of all places... Trust me, she's not coming home anytime soon, plus let's not forget, there are a few other "innocent" Americans held hostage over there for a year or more (who did not break any laws) who rightfully deserve to come home before she does... I would assume her NBA career is over now that she plead guilty to a drug charge... Although I feel for her she did this to herself; President Biden nor the White House can't do anything in her case, she'll have to serve her time like any other criminal caught with illegal drugs in Russia!!!
I just heard it's up to Vladimir putin
@@123456CBOY I’m sure he’ll listen to Biden after all the great things he’s done for Putin
How was she supposed to plead?
@@golisha5871 Mentally unstable
@@golisha5871 Guilty since she committed a crime and to plead innocent would certainly get her more time.
Maybe She appreciates the Freedoms America provides Now that She's seen how other Countries Don't Play ...
Bet she stands up for that national anthem now.
It was also her right to follow the law of the country she was entering.
Maybe she shouldn’t have broken Russian law.
People already was playing the race card claiming her innocence. Russia dont play that!
GUILTY
What a load of crap... I've read thousands of comments saying she should be jailed and NONE saying she should be free'd...no one is calling for her to be released.
More fans rallied for her release than showed up for her games.
Facts
And therein lies the problem with the WNBA . The WNBA gets supported more as a social cause than as a sport. The people who parade around about things like the WNBA pay gap or now Brittney Griner can't be bothered to actually watch WNBA games or buy WNBA merch.
The WNBA is simply a pet social justice cause financed by the NBA in agreement with team owners. Most NBA owners are God's Chosen People ®.
Fuck yeah
Calls are only growing to not give her preferential treatment, based on what I see on comments 😅😅😅
Lol Tina Knowles.. Question.... If it were a regular person getting caught, and punished would anyone be making this much noise?!?
Don't need her here. No special treatment should be given to her. Let her stay there.
“Fans rallying for her release” are just a few they showed on the camera. You can’t go from this and then say “the public” was asking for the same!…
Didn't she break the law?
SHE HAD 25-50 VAPES IN HER BAG! ITS NOT LIJE SHE HAD ONE SHE WAS SMOKING ON! SO SHE IS GUILTY!!!
I don't feel bad for her at all !! When you go to a foreign country you need to know what is good or not, traditions etc. I'm tired to see "Anericans" to violate others countries law and then boohoo to the president or to use "I'm American or In America" (in this case hashish) its legal.
It’s just pot she didn’t kill anyone. Even Russian olympics have done harder drugs like testosterone, and other steroids
@@vincentwaterson3480 and? In Russia that's illegal.
@@roxanna6987 and drugs are illegal in america yet they never get charged for performance enhancement drugs
If she was only alittle bit smarter, and not so much of a brute (she walks like a bully), she'd have gotten rid of the hash at a trashcan before she even got in the airport. Or maybe she should've smoked it all the day before. Take a shower, go through security with no "essences" on you. You come home. Be big selfish stuck up iddiot, you not come home. We have a saying here in the states, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Very little sympathy for her, but she knew better.
It's not often I thank Russia, but today I thank Russia for keeping her for 10 years.
Be nice.
Now if we could get Rapinho and Kapernick over there
No we don't want her back!!!
It^
Keep her there the full 10 years! Bye Felisha!
There's no growing calls. And big deal you break the law you get in trouble unlike in the us were people can illegally cross the border.
Having illegal drugs in a foreign country is not very smart. She is luckier than most as at least she has access to the President and VP most people don’t have that luxury. However she may return with a better appreciation for the American flag and our anthem.
Mary, I hope you are correct, but I would not be surprised if she doesn't double down on her hate for her home country.
@@joedanis2889 Let's hope that this will prove to be a lesson learned for her. We have all made mistakes in life
My guess- we will end up trading that Russian arms dealer for someone who bounces a ball around all because our "president" Biden's administration is a dumpster fire at home and is looking for some nominal "win" prior to rough midterms coming up.
No, it will double down on its hate for our country. A college scholarship, a good income playing in a professional league absolutely no one cares about... nothing is ever good enough for these subhumans.
What the hell does the American flag have to do with pot? Is there something I’m missing?
Why waste an important swap on a dope head. Use it on a journalist or actual innocent hostage
I got a friend that got arrested outside the state and he’s still in there. What’s makes her different?
Hes not a black woman.
Calls for (her/it) to go jail grow.
How can you call for her release when she f-ing plead guilty ?!?! 🤣
She's getting out, after them five or ten. Years
what she thinks about America now huh?
Leave her over there... she'll learn to STAND for the NATIONAL ANTHEM...Karma is serving her very well!!!!
Was it harsh oil, or just THC free cannabis oil , they both are close to being the same but CBD oil is not a big deal , but she has showed disrespect for America , so we should not be trading her for Arms dealers
That’s her fault that’s what she gets
I think the punishment is way heavier than the crime, but it aggravates me that we're going to have to release a massive arms dealer so that she could smoke some weed. She is supposed to be a role model. Also don't go to a country hostile to your country of origin.
I'm sorry but everyone knows you don't go into another country with drugs. They put ya away for life.
Nobody wants it back keep her in jail only after war is over use it to bargain for real people
No one's calling for her release...she broke the law...deal with it...
Well I broke the law but I didn't mean to so this is unfair.......gtfoh
At least she doesn't have to deal with the ongoing legacy of slavery
Just because she is Gay and liberal doesn't get her a free pass for smuggling. Oops.
Hello Jennifer 👋 how is the weather over there?
You didn’t want to support the US when you were here now you want its help 😂
She doesn’t support the playing of the National Anthem but she wants help from the government of the United States of America.
She broke the law.
Call and cry all you want. Bring drugs into Russia is not smart! Pure ignorance!
Sorry but she was in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing. Sucks for her but at least she can now fully appreciate America.
Come on Russia have a back bone and keep this criminal in jail where she belongs. There are people here in America in jail right now for the exact same thing. If it's unlawful for her then it's unlawful for everyone who's in jail for the same thing too....... justice should be blind but here's yet another example of two different justice systems one for the rich one for the rest of us.....

SHE IS VERY HUMBLED NOW
Violators or violator of laws and expectations to be released by foreign country or countries. Unbelievable ohhh 😮
She was not wrongfully detained she was using drugs . She's vaping hashish . I guess we should be asking why the h*** is she even in the NBA I'm glad she's been dealt with so harshly she needs to be dealt with harshly maybe they'll learn a big lesson from this
A prisoner swap is possible? Grinner for a Russian spy? Friction meets reality?🤪
Any other non-celeb/athlete wouldn’t get the same media treatment for Griner’s release. She should be humbled that she’s already getting preferential treatment. Naive of her to not know the rules when traveling to another country.
I know right?? It's almost like she's white...
Come on GMA, stop supporting poor behavior and poor decisions by black athletes. Your stories are vapid and have a 5th grade level of understanding or am I being to objective about this ridiculous story. Why don’t you report on homelessness across the country or the corruption in federal govt..
She is in the right place
Ms. Bigfoot gonna do the whole 10.
The calls for Griner to face justice for her crimes are growing.
You do the crime you do the time.
