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.
I'll give you that. Do you consider Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird, Candace Parker or Lisa Leslie superstars?
The other posters are right who say almost nobody in the US knows who those people are outside of hardcore women's basketball fans. ESPN and other sports media sites have been heavily manufacturing interest in the WNBA and the NWST for about a decade or more now when in reality most causal and even hardcore fans of the sport couldn't care less. It makes me slightly irritated that running (women's and men's) gets no practically coverage outside of olympic years but these other leagues do because ESPN wants to bend over backwards to show how with the times they are.
There is no freedom without law and order. ponder on that dichotomy, bruh.
hopefully she spend time in jail for her flagrant violation of their laws
and she’s no fellow American. She hates America
lol.....once again the Freedom crowd turns out to be a bunch of authoritarian boot lickers.
You're cheering for an American to be locked up for 10 years for something that is legal here?
She's more American than you it appears.
She's represented this country and won two gold medals for it.
If she's not your fellow American, that's only because you are unAmerican.
(predicting you pretend to be a soldier in ....3...2..1....)
Maybe you missed my comment before. There is no freedom without law and order. Ponder on that, but don’t hurt yourself.
She hates America, just like you, and the fact that she’s some kind of Frankenstein and getting paid for it (subsidized by the NBA mind you) doesn’t change anything.

So you think locking someone up for 10 years for a little bit of hashish oil is necessary for 'freedom'.......you do realize you sound bat sht crazy, right? Some real 1984 stuff right there.
The same people who go around chanting 'Freedom! Freedom!' like it's some kind 2 cent slogan are the same kind that are openly embraced the move the recent authoritarian nationalist movement in the US.

Yes, we are fans of the rule of law. that protects freedom. you are really struggling with this concept for some reason. it’s really not that hard to understand.

'Jail is freedom' 'Bootlicking is democracy'
I think that the incarceration will help her appreciate how good she had it the USA, the country she hates.
it’s a wonderful educational opportunity for her.
also, like with Novak, she MUST obey and respect the laws of her host country.
All you bitter old men can keep hating the WNBA all you want. The women who play in the WNBA still make 5 times what you make. In the Russian league they make as much as $2 million a year. So keep wasting your emotions as they laugh all the way to the bank.
As for Britney Griner, she will eventually be released from prison at some point. Then she will write a book, give paid speeches, become an inspirational speaker , host a talk show and make another $100 million. Basically she will turn this negative into a huge positive eventually.
But keep wasting your emotions hating women's sports.
And BTW, I have to imagine that the Russians have been allowing players to carry these substances. They just decided to crack down when they realized a war was coming and they could use Britney Griner for negotiations.
