If this was Tom Brady he wouldn t have spent a night in prison - Social media upset with US government after WNBA star Brittney Griner gets sentenced to nine years in Russian prison By
Rit Nanda Modified 05 Aug 2022 Follow Us Comment Share "If this was Tom Brady he wouldn't have spent a night in prison" Tom Brady doesn't really have much to do with geopolitics, it's outside of his purview. But after Brittney Griner was detained in Russia, many could not help but notice the difference in treatment afforded to various stars by the US government. It's worth noting that the Griner situation was made a lot more complicated due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Wade@DrGWadeSpeaksJust came to remind you that Britney Griner is still in Russia, and the media barely mention her name let alone amplify her story.This is unacceptable. If Tom Brady were locked up in Russia there would be continous coverage.

After the war broke out and she was exiting customs, cannabis oil (a banned substance in Russia) was found in her possession. She was initially detained and after pleading guilty she was sentenced to nine years in prison.

President Joe Biden has condemned her sentencing. However, this has been lambasted by critics as merely symbolic, even though the government is working towards a resolution. At the moment, it is unclear how long she will serve as the US Government is looking at a prisoner swap deal to bring her home.
