Long story short #BringHerHome
LeBron James Says Britney GreinerShe’s been in captivity for far too long without the United States bringing her home, so if he’s a WNBA star, he’ll be wondering about returning to America.
Bronn made these comments during an interview with “the shop” …when the conversation apparently turned to the imprisoned American Hoops star.
“Now, how can she feel that America is behind her? I’d feel like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?'” “
It’s clear – at least from the short trailer released – that LeBron doesn’t think the US is doing nearly enough to bring BG home.
naturally, Greiner has been arrested At a Russian airport near Moscow in mid-February … after the Russian authorities said they had found vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her bag.
At first, the American public was unaware of the arrest of Grenier … which is a strategic matter on the part of America. With war waged between Russia and Ukraine, the United States knew that Russia could use the Griner to gain leverage against the West.
But this strategy only worked for two weeks. Eventually, the news came out, and it was one of the biggest stories since.
Griner’s case has been consistently covered in America and around the world.
Britney’s wife, Sheryl Greinernewly speak with president Joe Biden The cum Kamala Harris.
(Note: In fairness to the LBJ point, the episode “The Store” appears to have been filmed before Cheryl spoke to the Chief.)
Biden also wrote a letter to Britney…she received it recently.
White House Press Secretary Karen Jean-Pierre He regularly answers questions from reporters at WH on all topics related to Griner.
United States Secretary of State, Anthony Blink, he was also in contact with the Griner family. US Congressman Colin Reeda former Baylor athlete (like Britney), also spent countless hours working to edit Griner.
Politicians aside, everyone from fellow athletes to everyday people has been affected by the Griner affair… and prayed for her safe return.
Indeed, supporters of other prisoners held abroad, particularly in Russia, have been alarmed by how hard the US government has seemingly tried to get the BG back, while other families believe the same level of effort has not been paid for their loved ones’ causes.
As for her release… Unfortunately, nothing seems imminent.
After months of sitting in a Russian cell, Greiner recently appeared before a judge and indicated her wish admit guilt for drug charges.
Greiner has yet to be judged. She could face 10 years in prison.
The entire “shop” ep. Falls Friday on HBO.
