brittney: welcome home !

But basketball James the great exaulted LeBron says it's our fault. Poor Britney is so poorly paid at a 1/4 million or so a year that she had to moonlight in Russia! The $#@! (James) has no concept what the fans that made him make or how they live.
Having said all that I wish her well. I do believe you need to know the law when traveling but I also think she is being used as a pawn.

The entire WNBA only makes 65 million a year. That is total revenues. Not profits.

The games have lower attendance than a school play.

Who's obsessing?

The people who are talking about her gender. It’s not actually relevant to the topic.

I just find it ironic.

If she wasn’t a public figure, the sentence would probably be much less severe. That’s the only reason the State Department should step in. There are literally thousands of Americans serving time in foreign countries for drug and other criminal charges. I don’t think the US is in a huge hurry to get her back.

True, but usually for trafficking. I haven't followed this. Was it just possession?

[Mister D]

I don't know, but, the picture someone posted, it's clearly a man, an adult female doesn't have breasts like that, no matter how manly......they were man-breasts.....and, the upper body was definitely male.

Plus, the deep voice and, stature.

PEDs can have that effect.

For once we agree.....

I think some State Department gesture should be made but not too much, like this is all that serious a human rights violation rather than personal STUPID!

Another Rose Garden Ceremony embarrassment like Bowie Bergdahl?

He calls himself Brittney, looks like a man.....I think it's natural to question his gender......especially when he's playing women's basketball.

Her name is Brittney. You’re sort of illustrating my point.

Again, not sure how it’s relevant to her arrest and the subsequent fallout.

The State Department really wants the ex-Marine being held as a spy. This tool is just getting added to the deal.

[Peter1469]

…and they say it’s liberals who obsess over gender.

If Biden does a deal we'll get the $#@! end of the stick.

Arms dealer is in the eye of the beholder who got bombed. They call the Russian "The Merchant of Death" but aren't they all? And aren't we the biggest arms dealer of all?
