I read that the USA wanted to trademarine and Griner for that Russian guy. The Russians were not willing to make a trade for the marine. The marine's family told Biden to make the trade for Brittney because their son wasn't going to be released, and it wasn't fair to make her stay in Russia.

Why was it not fair to keep her there?  She broke a law in their country, and she hates America anyway.  Should have left her there!!

A marine prisoned for four years in Russia left behind. Someone that served our country but freed someone that is ashamed of our country. We released the merchant of death.  We are one screwed up

A left wing loon who hates America, or an ex-Marine who was prepared to fight and die for this country?  Who should we get released?  Another example of an American hating President.  Did anyone need

The trade wasn’t necessary. When did the Russkies get to be the ones who set the terms of the deal? Oh yeah, when weak a$$ Biden became president. Embarrassing and despicable. Say you’re a weak country without saying you’re a weak country.

Fair enough, I also don't think tax dollars should be wasted on him... if he's as bad as the "reports" he should've been dealt with JMO

Unfortunately that’s not how it works. Regardless, should not have traded such a dangerous and criminal individual for a person that adds no value whatsoever to the American way of life.

I am not upset Griner was released. I think the charges were probably true and she is guilty. But if America can get its citizens released from a foreign prison, okay.

The way and why it happened is the bad part. The administration wanted Griner because of how many boxes she (or them) could check.

I think that she is a whiny woke person who hates what this country because of her brainwashed opinions. 

But while them (her) political stance is stupid in my opinion, 10 years in hard labor is a bad deal for a vape cartridge no matter if it is the laws of that country. If someone in this forum had a relative that was sentenced to 5 years of hard labor for throwing an aluminum can out of a car (littering) in Singapore, I wouldn’t expect them to say, oh well, it’s the law in that country.

Am I bent out of shape like many people because she was released? No.

Do I think it was a bad deal and her being a Black, female, LGBTQ identified, kneel for the Star Spangled Banner-American hating  woke them person was a key factor? Absolutely.

We set a weak precedent and gave up too much for a political ploy.

That however, is not Griner’s fault. She was just an unwilling international pawn.

As a Retired Navy guy I feel like you don’t make that trade for either of them.  Whelan did this:Whelan received this sentence for, among other things, attempted larceny, false statements, and dereliction of duty: A BAD CONDUCT DISCHARGE!!!! Unless he has appealed this and gotten it changed(which isn’t the easiest thing to do) he doesn’t get any veteran benefits.  So I’m my eyes, he’s not a veteran! Even if he were, you simply don’t send the Merchant of Death back to Russia for either of both of them.

      Dang "Erectionists"!

      To clarify, Dems love wars. They rage daily in the bluest of blue inner citicis. Chicago had 39 shootings over the weekend, 9 dead. Warzone. Baltimore, Memphis, Detroit, etc. I am sure was just as bloody. The blue body count rises daily. I am sure the blue defunding of police and releasing murders without any bail have nothing to do with it. Right?

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.
