WNBA superstar Britteny Griner arrested for drug smuggling in Russia. Facing up to 10 years.

WNBA "superstar" ?

This is the first I have heard about that league having one of those.

That's because you don't follow the sport.

I don't understand something, therefore it must not exist. Defective mindset seen in conservatives everywhere.

So? Too bad for her. Hopefully she'll get apple or orange juice to drink in jail because of her celebrity status/money instead of the crap I had to drink in a Russian jail.

Yep

It would seem that if you go to a foreign country, you check out the drug laws prior to going and then abide by them. You are their guest.

Did they turn you into a "yard pigeon" at the Russian jail, Bartholomew?

"A drug-sniffing dog ultimately found cannabis oil, aka weed, in her bag and later identified her as a WNBA player".

She's like 6'8" or so. Still that's pretty good that the dog could identify her as a WNBA player.

You would think that after having played there since 2015 she would be very well aware of what you can and cannot do. It's not like she is a tourist.

"WNBA superstar" This is not actually a thing. Dumb woman. Very tall. Not a "superstar".

Just say NO.

Being gay or straight is not a "choice."

Russia is one of the most racist countries in the world, are you joking??

You must be one of dem sociologists or sumfin.

But what about the defective leftist mindsets? E.g.: ones that tell us that a man is a woman merely because he identifies as a woman; that abortion is "safe;" that civilization on earth will collapse by 2028 because of climate change or neonicotinoids.

Choosing to "marry" someone of the same sex, as Griner did, is a choice.

WNBA isn't popular enough for any player to be a "superstar".

the title is misleading and OP couldn't even be bothered to spell her name correct. All these changes LRC started and it's still the wild west here.

Odd that you find facts offensive. You might not like them, but that’s your choice.

The term “superstar” would seem to imply a level of fame that extends beyond the fan base of the sport. I haven’t watched an NBA game since the ‘90s, but I know who Lebron James is. I don’t listen to pop music, but I know who Michael Jackson was. People who don’t follow the NFL have heard of Tom Brady.

So if people haven’t heard of her because they don’t follow the sport, that would seem to indicate that she isn’t a superstar.
