Joe Rogan is a man who has always had strong opinions. While some of them have landed the color commentator in soup, fans often appreciate him for taking a stand. Since the case of Brittney Griner has taken center stage in the news, many people from the MMA community have laid out their views. Similarly, the color commentator joined them in doing the same.

In episode #1846 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan was in conversation with stand-up comic Andrew Schulz. The podcast host said, “How about this Brittney Griner situation? Brittney Griner is imprisoned right now in Russia because she went over there to play basketball and she had cannabis oil… I don’t know if she didn’t just know they were illegal… They’ve got her arrested, it’s against the law.”

So what, they’re not good at throwing a f**king ball into a net? Is that what it is? They’re not good at that one thing that we like to watch. So those f**king people don’t get let out?,” concluded Rogan.
