Nneka Ogwumike, the president of the WNBA players’ association, held a press conference on behalf of Brittney Griner ahead of the weekend’s All-Star festivities

CHICAGO — Brittney Griner is “the fun aunt,” according to Nneka Ogwumike. She is resilient and kind, Ogwumike said. A fellow daughter of Texas, and Ogwumike’s father’s favorite player.

“BG, Brittney Griner, is an American hero,” said Ogwumike, an All-Star forward for the Sparks. “She is ours and she is yours, and we must get her home.” Returning to play basketball in Russia, Griner, 31, was first detained at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport in February. Police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage.

Hash is still illegal, fam.

My question , did she take drugs to a country where it’s illegal?

Trade Hunter for her

Great stance by the wnba players association let support a now admitted drug smuggler. What they should do Is say - this does not represent us. We are for law and order. If you break the law do the time.

Oh look, it’s the blow hard Al Sharpton

No one cares she made here bed 😴

Pushing what? She isn’t pushing Putin.

Trade JB for her

American hero is kinda strong lol.

I’m sure the couple people watching really got worked up about it too….🤦🏻‍♂️

How’s that kneeling for the flag thing working out for you BrittneyGriner

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.

She say anything about doing illegal shit is bad? Especially in Russia?

And no one cared.
