Brittney Griner's teammates speak out about her 'devastating' 9-year sentence in Russia: 'It's a helpless feeling'

in Russia on Thursday has sent shockwaves back to her loved ones in the U.S. After she sentenced for having vape cartridges filled with cannabis oil at a Moscow airport this year – which she says was an accident – her Phoenix Mercury teammates spoke out about the"devastating" situation.

"It's our sister," Diggins-Smith said."...I don't expect everybody to give a damn, but we really do. And we come out here and we're still supposed to play this f---ing game. ... How are you supposed to approach the game, approach the court with a clear mind and the whole group is crying before the game?"

Hahahahahahaha

The only shock is that the Biden regime is even considering negotiating her/his/it’s release!!

Those things happen when you violate a countries drug laws.

Was this for just personal use?drug test on these sports people would have found her out,seems like she should have been sent home not been allowed to play

damn, she's lucky kamala wasn't prosecuting her case

Kidnapped & held for ransom.

Dude

She deserves every day in hard labor. She may learn to love her country again!!! leavegainerthere

We’ll only take her back if Russia gets LeBron in return. That will teach them

No she broke the law and got caught. That’s justice.

she refused to stand for the flag and now wants us to protect her from her crime

Lol sucks to suck

Political weight added in sentencing for the Moscow Demon's benefit during negotiations.

how many of those team mates play stoned? (against WNBA Rules)

Luckily almost nobody watches the WNBA.

Well at least she won't be bothered with that pesky national anthem for a while now

Maybe they should all take a knee and tell us how bad America is some more.

Sarah Krivanek. Say her name too.
