But he is just a pawn for Russian propaganda. In fact, I consider him a Russian propagandist. People pretend to forget why Roy Jones became a Russian citizen in the first place. He wouldn't pay his taxes here. He was in trouble and might have had to go to prison. Then he got a fight in Russia, met with a Russian oligarch who agreed to pay his taxes if Roy Jones became a Russian citizen.

Roy Jones agreed, had a meeting with ***** and kissed *****'s ring. Ever since then he's been really buddy buddy with the Russian government. He pretends to be just a dumb athlete who's not involved in politics, but that's because that serves *****'s purpose. They play coy and act like it's the US being unreasonable.

Wladimir Klitschko is right to ask Roy Jones which side he's on, but anyone paying attention knows the answer. The author of this article has been covering the sport for a long time. I'm sure he knows all of this. I would not be surprised if he reported on Roy Jones becoming a Russian citizen as it happened. It's irresponsible for him not to mention those details alongside Roy Jones' claim to not be interested in politics. That omission makes this article akin to Russian propaganda because it makes Roy Jones seem like he's not a Russian propagandist.

who gives a fcuk about that

Ukraine is a corrupt globalist shlthole

when ***** has finished cleansing that shlthole from the illegal US bio-labs, the **** Azov Battalion, the child-trafficking, the gun-running, the money-laundering, and the corruption... he will start on the next country... and Roy will not be a dual-citizen in that country, so you wont be able to blame him for that

wishing my boys Roy and Vladimir all the best... and no, I don't mean Klitschko

Good. Bring our people home.

Just a question but what is a standard sentence so to speak for an average person getting caught sneaking weed vapes out of Russia?

She's lucky it was Russia and not China. China, she would be dead by firing squad and her wife would be billed for the bullet. Real talk.

Maybe you should write to the US Government to tell them their official classifcation of Griner as wrongfully detained is incorrect then. By law, the US State Dept is required to classify whether US detainees overseas are being held lawfully or unlawfully. They've determined that Griner is being held unlawfully. I'd be interested in what you know that they don't.

Furthermore, go all the way back to the Magna Carta in the 12th century and the principle of habeaus corpus has been a core tenet of the laws of all civilised nations ever since. Which is to say, a government shouldn't be able to just **** someone up without giving them a timely trial. She was arrested in February. Here we are in June, but she hasn't been brought before a court to determine whether she is guilty of anything. Hence, unlawfully held.

If the Russians are telling the truth about the drugs, give her a fair and open trial and let a jury of her peers determine from the evidence whether she is guilty of a crime. Otherwise, let her go.

Wrongfully detained according to US standards. Rightfully detained according to Russia's standards.

Guess where she's detained?

If she doesn't get a trial, I agree that she should be freed. Until then, let her stay in there, thinking about how possessing drugs in a dictatorhsip that happens to be an enemy of your country ain't a good idea.

BTW, the US said that she was WRONGFULLY detained. They have no say on whether she's unlawfully detained. Their country, their rules.

I'm guessing that you'll agree with the up to 10 year sentence if she's proven guilty? Or will you complain again about US law not being applicable in other countries?

She either broke their law or she didn't. I love how they always list an athletes resume whenever they break the law as if that makes it ok or somehow counts as some sort of time served for good behavior. As was previously asked, what's the standard sentence for what she's accused of and is she being given an open and fair trial or not? If so I'm failing to see where the "injustice" is just because she's in the WNBA. I see 7 year old girls holding up "Free Brittney Griner" posters. Apparently they have a better understanding of what's going on than I do. Unfortunately just because people in America (regardless of if they're here legally or not or just visiting) don't respect the laws and get away with it doesn't mean you can go elsewhere and do the same.

You didn't know. Rules don't apply for USA

About damn time someone brought this up.

Lol the **** trying to lecture roy on human rights. LMAO
