    It looks Brittney Griner doesn’t like the US national Anthem. So should anyone care if she is locked up in Russia. You complain about America & go make a living in a communist country. Then brake their laws & now you want America to save you. Sorry, I Don’t Care. Learn your lesson the Hard Way.

    Americans get arrested in other countries all the time. Hell I think their was once a docuseries about it. We only care when it’s a famous person. So screw her.
    I remember the first time I traveled to Singapore. On the immigration card handed to me on the plane in great bold print it said “death to drug traffickers”.
    If you don’t have the sense to understand where your going then good riddance.

    I wouldn't say she was famous. But screw her indeed!

    As much as it pains me to say, any citizen inappropriately arrested in a foreign country we should care about since sets a precedence. I may not cross the street to help her but, I wouldn't stick a knife in her eye. Given the opportunity, I'd stick a knife in Putin's eye.

    She wasn’t innocent. She tried traveling with drugs and broke the law.

    Funny how so many see weed as some illicit hard drug, just because it's "illegal".

    If tomorrow, you woke up and coffee was considered a schedule 1 drug, would you rail against coffee users in the same way?

    That said, 'ol girl can kick rocks.

    Yes, if the coffee industry became a source of revenue for terrorist organizations, human trafficking, and the coffee cartel was murdering civilians and law enforcement, real Americans "would rail against it." You cannot call yourself a patriot if you support an enterprise that is destroying your country and its sovereignty, the way drug trafficking has. Nobody wants to accept responsibility or face the reality of their choices and lifestyle.
    It is much easier for marijuana users to pat themselves on the back, employ bumper stickers and social media posts to declare themselves patriots, rather than to admit that the distinction between "weed" and "hard drugs" does not exist when it comes to the distribution methods and manpower used, the revenue generated to support cartels, and the lives lost. The cartel's don't treat one product differently than another.
    When smuggling coffee reaches the level of bombing civilian aircraft and neighborhoods, kidnappings, and savagery, then it should be addressed. Personally, I believe that should marijuana be legalized, but that doesn't matter. Until it is, recreational drug users are financing terrorism.
    Sorry that the facts are inconvenient, and punctuate the hipocracy of some people. I am not as "cool" as millennials, leftists, and celebrity mouthpieces; I am just more informed and objective. If you can justify and console the families of those killed by narco terrorism, by explaining that it was a shipment of marijuana, not cocaine, you are more articulate than I am. I look forward to your objective, citable reply, but don't expect it anytime soon.

    From the article: “the anthems third verse, which highlights violence against African Americans”.

    The star spangled banner’s third verse, from Wikipedia:

    “And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
    A home and a country, should leave us no more?
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

    No additional commentary from me. Just some facts or truths or whatever we’re calling it nowadays.

    Russia is not Communist and has not been since Boris Yeltsin, who initiated the economic transition.

    Just sayin’…

    Poor guy, thinks it's his fellow citizens that are funding cartels and terrorists organizations. He must have never heard fast and furious, Contras, Freeway Rick Ross, Barry Seal, or any of the other countless instances of our government doing all those things you blame on your fellow marijuana using citizens.
    If you want to blame something or someone for these things, you can't blame the end user, when it's your government who creates, funds, and supplies every aspect of it.

    Supposed to mean that you’re some type of criminal royalty or high ranking crime boss
    And I could be wrong about this but I think it originated from the Russian criminal world.
