My comments on “The Shop” regarding Brittney Griner wasn’t knocking our beautiful country. I was simply saying how she’s probably feeling emotionally along with so many other emotions, thoughts, etc inside that cage she’s been in for over 100+ days! Long story short

There are other Americans who are being held even longer - has he ever spoken out about them?

This woman won’t stand for our anthem anyway, so what’s new about her attitude towards the USA then? Maybe she should stay there since this country is such trash. 😡

He should tell that to the people at our southern border. He's ignorant.

Uh pretty sure she wants to come back

So is LeBron privy to the efforts currently underway to bring her home

So sad…. Too bad

People are going to hate me for this. People are warned before they leave a country that they must follow the laws of the country they are entering. Right or wrong it is their law and they must be prepared to face the consequences. It sucks DEFINITELY! It is not Biden's fault.

I would Never wanted to go to Russia, under Putin.!! Biden told all Americans to leave, a warning.

Can we send KingJames there

Then leave. Not one person would miss you...not one.

LeBron...just stop.🤦🏽‍♂️

He should have went to college.

She went to Russia 14 times and bashed America for not paying her enough, and went over there for money, so now she’s over there for breaking the law. You should see how Canada customs are. They’re worse. She should have known that the war means “Do Not Collect, Do not Go”

Maybe he should go to Russia and talk to Putin himself. See how he does.

The whole situation is horrible. But if the mistake she plead guilty to is true, it's really just a crazy horrible circumstance. What is anyone supposed to do other than ask/plead for lenience. Or plan for some sort of offendant swap.

If she remains there she will always be a US target. I came home from France after nine years, and I have been stripped of all privacy!

Idiot!!!

What he fails to understand, is that nobody outside of her circle of friends and family, give a shit whether she feels like America 'has her back'. She didn't 'have America's back'. Remember?

She's not only America stuck in 🇷🇺 or other countries; she's just the only WNBA player. The process is long and contentious & current relations, and a War isn't helping; in April, a US Marine detained by Russia was released after waiting three years.
