32 fucking American assholes agree to play Basketball in Russia

[Gil Bang 25898]

Fuck these pricks in advance, every single one of them.  

 

At least 32 Americans have signed up to play in Russia’s top basketball league this season despite Brittney Griner’s harrowing experience, according to USA TODAY’s tally. Griner was returning home after playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg in the WNBA off-season when she was arrested at the Moscow airport for having cannabis vape cartridges. She is now mired in Russia’s opaque legal system and caught in the diplomatic battle over the Ukraine invasion. Most of the players still willing to take the risk are lesser-known names, with the most recognizable being James Ennis, who has played for 10 NBA teams, Vince Hunter, and Malcolm Thomas. Only one is a woman, Unique Thompson, who joined the Indiana Fever as the 19th draft pick in 2021 before taking a training camp contract with the Dallas Wings. Her agent said Thompson “supports Brittney” but felt playing in Russia gave her the best change to “get back into the WNBA.” One veteran agent described the decision to USA TODAY as “playing Russian roulette, no pun intended.”

Not many can say that.

Because most that start to creep up towards the double digits get drummed out of the NBA,

I have a lot of sympathy for Brittany Griner because she was arrested before Russia invaded Ukraine.  She had no way of knowing how risky the situation was.

But fuck these people.  And not just because they bought their tickets (I say, let them crash).  But also because it shows an incredible lack of solidarity with Griner.

When Russia decides to take one (or all) of these assholes hostage, I'm perfectly fine leaving them there to rot.

They end up In prison, USA shouldn’t lift a finger to get them out
