This user disagreed with the ESPN Analyst’s appeal.
Sorry. But I disagree. If that were me and I had done that in Russia, the WH would’ve never taken a call about me. If you go to a foreign country, you better know their laws and make damn sure you don’t break them.
A user said that Griner can come home —
but after learning her lesson.
She can come home after she's done her time. A very hard lesson, but one she needs to learn. Accountability, personal responsibility, and standing on her own two feet while owning her mistakes and without blaming ignorance, or someone else for the predicament she put herself in.
A user made use of Newton’s third law of motion to explain her stance.
She committed the crime now she must face the consequences I bet she'll check her luggage for illegal substances next time. For every action there's a reaction whether it's good or bad I hope others will learn from her mistake
It remains to be seen if the US government will proceed with a prospective settlement to liberate Griner from Russia.
