great2bahokie • 08/04/22 11:32 AM ET
Harsh penalty but at least she will have no need
DeBord • 08/04/22 05:15 PM ET
Winter starts early in Siberia....**
VTUD • 08/04/22 02:51 PM ET
Typically mid to late September as the snows start to go down the mountains**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/04/22 03:01 PM ET

Penal colony huh? . . . that's a stiff sentence.**

From Russia . . . with love.**
ACCWatcher • 08/04/22 03:02 PM ET
No doubt. It's gonna be hard.**
SavannaHokie • 08/04/22 02:04 PM ET
Not sure she is the type that will be up to it**

Of course it is, but it is their country, their rules ...

Fair. Do dumb, get dumb prizes. (They will release her early) cost. TBD**

you really dont get it-
Vippie1 • 08/04/22 03:49 PM ET
In Griner’s case they didn’t have to trump up any charges. She admitted to

I get it fine ...

Vippie1 • 08/04/22 04:32 PM ET
The point is that Griner took for granted the liberties she enjoys...
MP4VT2004 • 08/04/22 09:02 PM ET
Nobody is forcing the USA to release anyone & we absolutely should not. I’d
Hoakie82 • 08/04/22 10:59 PM ET
Wow - you really read selectively ...
vt90 • 08/04/22 04:41 PM ET
Yep…..that’s the way it is.
RJHokie • 08/04/22 04:15 PM ET
Well, she hated on our country . . . how does she like us now?
ACCWatcher • 08/04/22 02:46 PM ET
Yep, just because US ignores laws for "special people" they think all do
Vienna_Hokie • 08/04/22 01:54 PM ET
Disrespecting local culture seems to be a trend with her.**
HokieNoVA • 08/04/22 01:51 PM ET

KfgsHokie • 08/04/22 12:26 PM ET
No way. Griner’s been made an example and Russia won’t lose face over her.**
PhotoHokieNC • 08/04/22 12:32 PM ET
Disagree. We shall see, I guess.**
KfgsHokie • 08/04/22 12:33 PM ET

vt90 • 08/04/22 12:08 PM ET
Yep**
EDGEMAN • 08/04/22 02:47 PM ET
well it's a ridiculous sentence- but she made herself a political figure
bigbadbird • 08/04/22 12:10 PM ET
Agree - the punishment doesn't match the crime. However, ...
