Brittney Griner makes major move for imprisoned Marine

I hope she has the class to make this a sincere effort and is not doing this out of guilt. So far she has been to me a Megan Rapinoe clone and not to be taken seriously. Except, that is, maybe to be Secretary of State for some Democrat POTUS candidate. TD

 Brittney Griner makes major move for imprisoned Marine (msn.com)   

"When the United States secured the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner with a prisoner swap that sent convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout back to Russia. The move was controversial to many because even though Joe Biden brought back Griner, the United States left former Marine Paul Whelan imprisoned in Russia. Griner’s negotiator made it clear that they will try to bring Whelan back next, and Griner wants to help other Americans falsely imprisoned. And she had a message for Whelan.". . .

Hey Brittney Griner, Do You Respect the National Anthem Now? (stevegruber.com)  "What was Griner doing in Russia? Well, she didn’t feel she was being paid enough by the WNBA and in order the chase the almighty dollar, she has been playing for a Russia team in the offseason since 2014. She gets over $1 million per season from the Russians.

"This woke basketball star wasn’t just a National Anthem kneeler, she didn’t even go out on the floor when it was played. She didn’t want to give America or those who fought for our freedoms their due respect.

"Back in June of 2021, Griner said “I honestly feel we should not play the Nation Anthem during our season, I think we should take that much of a stand. I’m going to protest regardless. I’m not going to be out there for the National Anthem.”. . .
