WNBA star Brittney Griner is all over the news for all the unfortunate reasons. A Russian court recently sentenced her to 9 years in jail amidst talks between the officials of the two countries.<\/p>\n

Safe to say, she has the world divided on opinions regarding her situation. While some feel the US Government should bring her home, some feel she should serve her time in Russia.<\/p>\n

Much of the hate Griner is receiving is due to her political stance. Even before her conviction, Griner was a controversial figure. After the killing of Breonna Taylor, the WNBA decided to spread awareness for her cause.<\/p>\n

\n

During a game between the Phoenix Mercury and the Los Angeles Sparks, the two teams walked off the court while the National Anthem played. Interestingly enough, Griner\u00a0mentioned\u00a0that this will not be the last time she would walk off the court.<\/p>\n

She said,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m going to protest regardless. I\u2019m not going to be out there for the national anthem. If the league continues to want to play it, that\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

This brought in a lot of backlash for the 2 time Olympic Gold Medallist. While many bashed her for her actions and labeled her as \u2018Anti-National\u2019, she clapped back at all of her criticism.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t mean that in any disrespect to our country. My dad was in Vietnam and a law officer for 30 years. I wanted to be a cop before basketball. I do have pride for my country,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Griner.<\/p>\n

The Phoenix Mercury star made headlines worldwide earlier this year when officials found illegal substances in her luggage. She was arrested on these charges and it led to a long legal procedure.<\/p>\n

\n

Brittney Griner\u2019s camp finally got closure on her case after a Russian court sentenced her to 9 years in prison. However, all hope is not lost for her and her family.<\/p>\n

Officials of both countries are negotiating a prisoner exchange that might bring her back to the United States of America. \u201cInstructions were given to authorized structures to carry out negotiations. They are being conducted by competent authorities,\u201c\u00a0said\u00a0a Russian official.<\/p>\n

The officials plan to bring back Griner and former US Marine Paul Whelan while sending a notorious arms dealer back to Russia.<\/p>\n
