Will the people killed and maimed by the arms dealer celebrate the American hating racist ball chaser?

Are you saying she has a penis, or was born with one?
Proof?

“... Griner’s perceived lack of patriotism. But this kind of litmus test has long been rigged against Black Americans.”
So; is the author saying that Black/Israelite Americans are not Patriots?

“Griner was sentenced to nine years in prison after vape canisters and cannabis oil were discovered in her luggage at the airport.” HER luggage? Are they sure? Seems I had read differently.

To me it’s as simple as why trade for a guilty prisoner, Griner, instead of an innocent one, the former Marine.

In 2020, amid widespread Black Lives Matter protests decrying police brutality and racism, Griner stated that the national anthem shouldn’t be played during games and refused to be on the floor while it played. Griner is an articulate athlete, and her intention was always clear. “I don’t mean that in any disrespect to our country. My dad was in Vietnam and a law officer for 30 years,” she told The Arizona Republic at the time. “I wanted to be a cop before basketball. I do have pride for my country.”

Then why did she do that? What was her point?

She wasn’t wrongfully arrested, she pled GUILTY!

Yes, but the Russians have to be taught that in a free society real criminals must be freed and political prisoners must be locked away indefinitely.

That’s the Bidamerican way.
