Why is she in Russia?


What is a gay woman doing playing for a Russian team anyway? With Russia’s anti gay laws and all. You’d think her principles would supersede her desire to make a buck. Do you think if an American state enacted an anti gay law that she’d continue playing games in said state? Or do you think she’d boycott games? I think we know the answer.

YOU SOUND ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS...NO...MOST OF US SELL OUR PRINCIPLES FOR THE BUCKS ON THE REGULAR...LIFE IS PRICEY AND NOBODY IS GOING TO FILL YOUR WALLET BUT YOU.

Mmm Kaepernickspriciples superseded his desire for a buck. He stuck by his guns and gave up his money and job for his principles. Why didnt she do the same?

reply

NO HE DID NOT...HE SUCKED FROM THE BEGINNING...HIS "PROTEST" IS THE ONLY REASON ANYONE KNOWS HIS NAME...HE MAKES MORE NOW DOING PROMOTION AND ADS THAN HE EVER WOULD HAVE AS A THIRD STRING AVERAGE PLAYER...HOOK THAT BITCH TO A LIE DETECTOR...I BET HE KNEELED FOR FAME MORE THAN PROTEST.

You think anyone would know Griner if she wasn’t locked up in Russia or advocating for the boycott of the national anthem at WNBA games? You think anyone gives a flying fuck about the WNBA or Griner?

reply

NO...NOBODY DOES...NOT THEN OR NOW...THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE EVER HEARD HER NAME...IRRELEVANT POINT TO SIDESTEP THE FACT THAT YOU WALKED INTO A CORNER.

Im sidestepping? Like in the other tread when you wouldn't answer direct, legit, questions and could only respond with childish comments like: “ MMM...RUSSIAN PENIS...IT'S GOOD,HUH?😘”

reply

YOUR DEFINITIONS OF DIRECT AND LEGIT ARE SUSPECT AT BEST...COMPLETE HOBO SHIT BEING THE CORRECT DESCRIPTION.


AND HOW IS IT?...YOU NEVER TOLD ME?...I BET IT'S SALTY.

He was a starting NFL quarterback and he was pretty good in the beginning. Yes, people knew who he was. Once defenses figured him out, his NFL star started to wane. He was a second-teamer at the end. Then he got involved with a crazy woman that polluted his mind, and the rest is history.

You sound like a Republican.

OK.

The whole time he kept saying he wanted his job back. NFL gave him a workout a few years ago and he intentionally submarined it. I guess because it was much easier making money off the grift than playing such a violent sport. Now that the BLM money is drying up, he did a workout for an NFL team and apparently his skill is gone.

So, who knows where he goes from here. Personally, I don't care. He should have enough money to carry him.

Hopefully to the deepest recesses of Hell.

It is always the money. It's never the principle. I don't begrudge Brittney for trying to make extra money. The bottom line she should not have brought an illegal substance with her. (I don't buy the "by accident story"). If you do the crime, you need to do the time.

Regardless, the sentence is much too harsh and I support the G trying to bring her back. What bothers me is that other Americans are in Russian prison and the media is not trying to help them.

reply

What people get twisted though is they look at it through the lens of the American justice system. The sentence is harsh by American standards but America doesn’t set the standard for the rest of the world. She was tried and convicted and sentenced to 9 years based off the Russian judicial system. The same system a Russian citizen would be charged under. The fact that a 9 year sentence would be ridiculous in American courts is irrelevant

Tell us more about the "Russia anti-gay laws"? Is it illegal to be gay in Russia? Perhaps they draw the line on gay sex or public display of homosexuality instead?

How is it that you are not aware of anti-gay laws in the USA? https://archive.thinkprogress.org/9-states-with-anti-gay-laws-that-arent-that-different-from-russia-s-4a903d6dbff6/
