Not sure if this is the right Griner thread to post this on, or really what to say about it, but Dennis Rodman is apparently going to Russia to advocate for BG:

Gotta love the WNBA Players Association. Such a fine display of solidarity bwahaha.

Can't actually blame them for continuing to play in Russia though. I wouldn't give up my future financial security for a common criminal either. Let's see if BG has the testosterone to beat her fellow inmates the way she beat her wife.

Jeeze, issues man

@CathyEngelbert added that @brittneygriner recently wrote her a, “heartfelt, handwritten letter,” and at the end of the letter, BG said, “I’m staying strong..” #WNBATwitter #WNBAPlayoffs #WNBAFinals @WNBA @ABC @ESPNPR @ESPN_WomenHoop @PhoenixMercury #WeAreBG https://t.co/dlSAIuFLQL

Joe Biden attended a ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base welcoming home fallen war heros...kept checking his watch as if he had better things to do (nap time maybe?). Tick-tock, tick-tock Brittany Griner you're on the clock.

I read an article about Putin being in a compromised position with the Russian leaders because of the Ukraine war. BG got into trouble in Russia at a most difficult time for negotiations to proceed.

Is there ever a good time to smuggle contraband into a foreign country? Asking for a friend

That is a good point. I was thinking that the timing was bad for negotiations with Russia to get a prisoner released. It is usually never a good thing to smuggle contraband into a foreign country.

No one on Team USA wears No. 15 other than two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Brittney Griner.

USA Basketball will honor BG as they take the court in Sydney at the World Cup. No. 15 will stay reserved until BG is back home. #WeAreBG pic.twitter.com/S7ud0jX3Mi

Putin is now offering prisoners early release to fight in the Ukraine while Joe Biden is only offering rhetoric. It's well documented that Brittney loves to fight sooo...

Putin is probably urinated about the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline. I wouldn't expect him to negotiate with anyone about anything until he finds out who did it. God help Brittney if the United States was involved.

Praying for Brittney

"Jailed American basketball star Brittney Griner will formally appeal her conviction and sentencing on drug smuggling charges in Russia on Tuesday ... Griner will observe Tuesday's Moscow court hearing by video feed from the women's detention center where she is being held outside the Russian capital.

According to a statement released by Griner's legal team, the judge's verdict on her appeal is expected the same day with Griner holding out hope for a reduction in her prison term.

'Brittney does not expect any miracles to happen but hopes that the appeal court will hear the arguments of the defense and reduce the term,' read the statement."

Seems the Russian Appeals Court took a knee on BG's appeal.

Let me list a few:

UK (who Russia has accused)
France
Germany
All of the Nordic States

There are more.

None of the States on the list did it. Russia did it.

Yet only one of these states have said that they would shut down Nord Stream by any means necessary.
