Brittney Griner, a well-known WNBA player, is currently going through a difficult time in her life. After she was discovered in possession of some illegal substances at the Russian airport, she was given a 9-year prison sentence.

In America, the news generated waves. Numerous politicians, athletes, and celebrities have already shared their opinions on the subject. Even the well-known color commentator of the UFC, Joe Rogan, discussed the Griner case on his popular podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ on Spotify.

Every time the 55-year-old podcaster brought up the WNBA star, he came across as supportive. Even in the most recent episode of his show, which featured NFL legend Aaron Rodgers, Rogan defended Griner and slammed the American government’s hypocrisy.

“The hypocrisy about the Brittney Griner situation was so egregious in this country, where Kamala Harris is talking about how horrible it is that Brittney Griner is in jail,” Rogan said. 

“You put people in jail. You did thousands of people in jail for marijuana… It’s crazy. Like this student, loan debt forgiveness, that’s great. But how come you guys didn’t exonerate people that were in jail for marijuana? When you said you were going to make marijuana federally legal. None of that has happened,” Rogan added. 

After that, the Green Bay Packers quarterback took a subtle dig at politicians. He replied, “You mean a politician said something they ran on and didn’t actually enact that said policy?”

“I know it’s crazy really happens, but occasionally you catch them,” Rogan replied. 

The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is not number one anymore

The UFC color commentator started his podcast on YouTube over a decade ago. Later, he signed an exclusive deal with Spotify as the podcast gained a loyal global fan base.
