“She’s been there 4 1/2 months, having to be transported in vehicles too small for her frame,” Sharpton said. “Incarcerated where, she’s in a place where most of the people in that place can’t speak her language. I think she’s already done a lot of time given what we’re talking about was the infraction.”

Ogwumike, WNBA Continue to Push for Brittney Griner’s ReleaseThe president of the players’ association held a press conference Friday alongside Griner’s wife, the Rev. Al Sharpton, union executive director Terri Jackson and Storm star Sue Bird. And no one cared. She say anything about doing illegal shit is bad? Especially in Russia? The WNBA players union should be condemning bringing drugs into a country where they are illegal, not forcing us to give away spies, war criminals etc… in exchange for her. Obey the damn law, and we wouldn’t be in this situation.
