Why Brittney Griner Could Be the Last American Basketball Star in Russia

Griner, a center for the Phoenix Mercury who was in Russia to play for UMMC Yekaterinburg when she was detained in February, was reportedly earning at least $1 million from the team — far more than the W.N.B.A.’s maximum base salary of about $230,000. Similar paydays have lured other big-name stars, like Diana Taurasi and Breanna Stewart.
But Griner’s detention, the atrocities of the war and related economic sanctions have heightened the scrutiny of associating with Russian businesses — including its basketball teams. The State Department on Tuesday said that Griner had been “wrongfully detained” and that its officials were working to have her released. Griner could be the last American basketball star to play professionally in Russia, fracturing a lucrative pipeline that a list of renowned players has tapped for a generation.
“If you’ve got your daughter you’re entrusting with me and listening to my counsel,” Cound said, “I do not see where I can look you in the face and say, ‘Yeah, this is a good idea,’ if Vladimir Putin is still in charge.”
In March, Lisa Leslie, the Hall of Fame player, said on the “I Am Athlete” podcast that she and others in the W.N.B.A. community were told not to make a “big fuss” over Griner’s detention for fear of inflaming tensions with Russia. The State Department’s statement on Tuesday was the most significant public acknowledgment of Griner’s situation by the U.S. government.
Some W.N.B.A. players and fans have been vocal, using a #FreeBrittney hashtag on social media to plead for intervention. But most, like Taurasi, Griner’s Mercury teammate, have said little as part of a strategy of quiet diplomacy.
“I spent 10 years there, so I know the way things work,” said Taurasi, who has played for Russian teams and is the leading scorer in W.N.B.A. history. “It’s delicate.”
UMMC Yekaterinburg paid Taurasi a reported $1.5 million to skip the 2015 W.N.B.A. season and play only in Russia.
“It was a very personal choice,” Taurasi told The New York Times at the time. “My agent said it would be financially irresponsible not to do it.”

The atrocities of the war in Ukraine and Griner’s detention in Russia on drug charges could cut off a lucrative pipeline for women’s basketball players.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Russia has no incentive to release her other than to trade for the Russian spies we currently have incarcerated. At this time, Russia isn't the hold up. It's the US.
I sincerely hope she no harm comes to her. But seriously, from a pragmatic policy perspective, do we give Russia multiple spies for one weed head lesbian basketball player who was never a good role model to begin with?

This reminds me of that time Stacie Keach got caught with just over an ounce of nose candy. Dude did 9 months and his secretary did 3 months. Let her do her time.

How can the US determine what some other countries laws are wrong
Well unfair is unfair.
And apparently there has still been no proof or evidence that a crime was actually committed.
And there is international law.
And a question of if she is being treated in a inhumane manner.
But you right.
And many people of influence "trip up" overseas. And stuff is let go.
They ain't doing this to an American NHL player or NBA player.
And even the most b list white celebrity isn't getting hemmed up like this.
The thing here is its obvious Russia using this.
But I think the general public who does care about this?
They need to understand the American government making too much noise directly and publicly is actually worse for her.

Exactly. There's no proof a crime was actually committed. Finally someone said it.
Definitely she's being used as a pawn.
And fuck any dumbass talking about "She wasn't a role model anyway". That has nothing to do with anything.
