I’d give more credence to their boycott if it wasn’t Christmas. They just want a vacation and are using this as an excuse to look good about it. Oh sure there might be one or two that join that are actually on board but the rest?

See, this response probably made you feel nice and snarky, but the fact that you care more about us reading than us enjoying what we’re reading is kind of the problem.

Wealthy people really need to quit with the “I worked my ass off” whining. Sure, we can agree you did. But you were also exceptionally lucky. You know who else “works their ass off”? The lady that cleaned my hotel room today. She’ll do that for several hours, then probably go work at a restaurant tonight, then go home…

Back when I was a young man I did this job for a summer at a Six Flags. If you got a hug from a Tasmania Devil in the summer of 1996 at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL it could have been me.

The first “no” is to camera right toward the crowd. It looks like the character is then turning to catch up with the parade and is continuing to signal no. In those costumes it’s possible they didn’t have a good view of the two kids directly below them.

I mean, if someone believes she is guilty; I would assume they might not have much of an issue with her doing the crime for her time.

Griner might have to just stay in prison. We’re not trading her for an international terrorist.

Fuck me, I hope they don’t release that fucking arms dealer. He goes free, more people will die, that is an undeniable fact, and no one person is worth releasing this monster over.

Curious how many other American citizens being held unfairly in Russia will get passed over for release because she can throw a ball through a hoop?

“Yo dawg, we need our gun connect back so we can smuggle American guns into Ukraine to kill Ukrainians.” - Russia

Lol, a terrorist/arms dealer for a ball player is hardly a fair trade.

Oh you’re just saying that because he’s almost certain to immediately (checks notes) go back to selling weapons that will help kill hundreds to thousand of black and brown people…but hey, they’re just ignorable numbers to Twitter at large, so who cares?

Yeah, I’d want more for releasing that guy than just Brittney. A lot more.

I hope Griner gets home as soon as possible, safely.

“Wrongfully detained”? Did I miss the part where she claimed to not have brought drugs into a country hostile to americans? Cause I'm pretty damn sure she hasn't done that.

Just want to point out the number of Brittney Griner articles (daily?) vs the number of articles about the atrocities being committed against the people of Ukraine (um, when was the last one?). I get this is a (supposedly) feminist website and not dearly departed Splinter, but can we start with this?

...So y’all are being paid for these articles, right? It’s the only way to explain the tone and, as I mention each time, the total lack of context.

Aren’t most social media teams headed by the fail child of a high power executive? I think that’s the case with the shitty Steak-umms account on Twitter. 

Nepotism.

Does she have any defenses? I get that this is a kangaroo court, but is she at least going to to present some argument that she is actually/literally not guilty of this?
