so don’t smuggle drugs in a foreign country.
Oh, FFS, none of y'all hypocrites feigning that race and sexual preference have anything to do with it would be saying "let that drug-smuggling bitch rot in a Russian prison" if it were a nice squeaky-clean heterosexual blonde girl-next-door white girl who accidentally forgot she had a weed vape pen in her travel bag

The LA times edited the original story and took out the Dirty debutants part. Bunch of pussies.

Ummm. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes has nothing to do with her sexuality and race you dipshit.
There are multiple other Americans that have sat in jail for years in Russia for the same or lesser versions of the crime. So stfu. But since she is a lesbian and female basketball player, the US traded an arms dealer to free her leaving the others behind.
Again, she brought that on herself, not anyone else.

I bet you are okay with people rotting in jail for walking around the inside of the Capital or for just being in DC

So you think she deserved the treatment she got? It was inhumane
You must hate most of the world then, and that's kind of bigoted my friend. Truly ironic to be arguing we need to accept people while also ignoring that different groups of people have different laws and methods of crime/punishment.

Americans are being held all over the globe for different offenses, and I don't see anyone freaking out about that here. I would argue if she was a blonde next door type, her story wouldn't have hit the press, and we wouldn't have traded an arms dealer for them, and only did so because of Griners political points.

I'm more concerned about all the people who receive similar treatment in my country.

When I first went overseas, we had all seen Midnight Express, so we had an idea of the risk of breaking drug laws in foreign countries.
As for Griner, i don’t think she was treated differently than anyone else. Yes, Russian prisons are terrible and below the basic standards for human rights. Britney Griner received inhumane treatment and no person deserves that. But she didn’t receive any worse treatment than if she was a nobody in that same situation. In fact, she got better treatment because the US paid the ransom.

That is not what was said to Brittany. She was told to keep quiet because she signed an agreement with Baylor, as does all athletes, to uphold the Baylor standards with integrity. She would have been kicked out of Baylor for her lifestyle. Mulkey was trying to protect her.

People like you are the worst. You are trying way too hard. You and the other groomer in this thread are the reason why we will never coexist as a society. Frick off.

Happy birthday Tiger42. Were you in the Air Force? If yes, thank you for your service.

So Griner should be in the closet?
Whether she is gay or straight it doesn’t need to be celebrated.

Kim owns the media right now. She’s forced 2 major publications to change their stories and forced another to publish a favorable one by using their own liberalism against them.
Coach is on a roll.

Gay people shouldn’t have to hide their orientation. Neither should straight people. This is not “celebrating “ it is just allowing someone else to live their life.

You need to read the quote below. Understand this vitriol should be aimed at Baylor university. Not towards Kim Mulkey.

Baylor is a private religious school with their rules.. use to have a morality agreement as a student or faculty.. heck you could get kicked out if had sex outside of marriage..not sure if you still do?
.. but imo km was just advising her from an adults point of view to a young person ready to take on the world..

Getting back to the OP, this USA Today editorial was excellent. Kudos to the author. She'll probably be marginalized now because of it.
quote:
Plenty of other coaches appear to be having rage strokes on the sidelines. Have blistered their players publicly. For them, it’s dismissed as “passion” or praised as “tough coaching.” Nothing to see here or look at further.
Yet it’s somehow fair game to detail the coach’s decades-long estrangement from her father, presenting as a sympathetic figure a man who devastated his daughter by cheating on her mother and walking out on his family, suggesting instead that it’s Mulkey who is the heartless one.
There are debates to be had about the ethics of digging that far into Mulkey’s background, even if she did write about her father in her book. Even the best of families are complicated and messy. Treading into the fractures in one that isn’t is dangerous territory that reeks of tabloid voyeurism.
The character flaws of Mulkey’s father are his and his alone. The suggestion her reaction to them is evidence of one of hers is both inappropriate and unseemly, armchair psychology at best given Mulkey didn’t talk to the Post.
[...]
You might not like Mulkey. You might not like her players. But if you are not bothered by the public discourse that surrounds them and cannot see the sexism and racism at its root, the problem isn’t them.
It’s you.

Did she really get harsh treatment. She got 3 meals a day and didn't get beat up each day. She just had a locked door in front of her. And of all things, who caused all that. Not you and I.
