Team USA’s 87-72 opening game victory over Belgium at the Women’s Basketball World Cup was overshadowed by the absence of forward Brittney Griner, who has been sentenced to nine years in Russian jail for possessing cannabis oil. The USA’s players honored their friend and teammate by electing to not wear her No. 15 shirt. Traditionally, Team USA wears the numbers four to 15 but instead is remembering a player who has been such a big part of the national side since her first involvement in 2013.
Griner was detained in February for carrying vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage and pleaded guilty to drug charges, saying she accidentally packed the drugs in a hurry. Her legal team in Russia has appealed the nine-year sentence. Griner’s teammates and other WNBA players have also shown solidarity with the eight-time All-Star by boycotting playing in Russia during the offseason.
It appears JoeBiden is investing more time and effort on Griner than he is on the Border Crisis or the fentanyl pandemic. Simply more fishing for votes ahead of the mid-terms.
