Prayers are for…the placebo effect

[removed]

I think the way you worded it with the dot dot dots makes it seem like you’re saying she’s only doing it for the checks and isn’t passionate about the sport. That’s how it came off to me anyway. Incredibly impressive though

Prayers are for those doing the praying.

Woah. Someone actually thanking the first responders and not solely a supreme being! Progress folks.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking it. Doesn’t matter how stupid you think the law is.

Exactly more reason for her to be completely at blame

Well I think that's pretty stupid personally....

Kudos to them for thanking the actual people who did the hard work of saving his life rather than some supreme being. Prayers are fine, but first responders and trained medical personnel are so much more useful.

Think it says a lot about the family showing appreciation for the support and action, especially given the “newness” of everything

Prayers for him. Scary stuff

Wow. So - we have ZERO standards now? Gotcha, thanks for the update. BARF.

Run of the mill pandering for votes.

It is technically a federal crime to travel via plane with marijuana in the US. So, yeah.

Yea because those teams are owned by the Russian mob or the people everyone hates right now in the news in Russia

...why?

Snoop Dog didn't work for someone as powerful that Griner did (in Russia at least). I have no doubt that Griner's employer allowed her to play by a different set of rules/laws without her knowledge.

Based on what I've read, the hope was that if she plead guilty, the process would play out faster in getter her home. Turned out true, but Russian was more than willing to keep her.

Iirc, he was an extremely small amount that would so its possible she just missed it. Also, she benefited from her employer being real powerful that gave her more leniency for some rules that she may not have known existed. If you don't know Russian, then it would be damn near impossible to know the regulations by the letter of the word. I would imagine that her having THC was previously allowed for flights in Russian because of her employer said so.

Edit: Some of the post is a bit speculative, but I don't think its farfetched and gives some benefit of the doubt when people are hellbent on running her over with a bus.

Oh, I see you're familiar with Arizona

I think you're right to have skepticism about a case where there were motivations to take a public figure and have them say whatever, especially Russia in its current state. She very quite possibly did it intentionally. Maybe she did it accidentally. Or maybe someone said "this is what you have to say. Plead guilty and say you did it on accident, and they'll let you go." And then they didn't.
