Why Brittney Griner Matters
Brittney Griner has played basketball in Russia for the last 7 years. She was recently arrested for having cannabis in her possession. Brittney carries a letter from her doctor who prescribed cannabis for pain. Possession of cannabis is a criminal offense in Russia. I find it interesting this is the first time Brittney was stopped and arrested for cannabis when entering the country. Since before the 2016 presidential election, the Russians have been waging a war in America. The Russians have and continue to successfully use social media to divide this county. Americans haven't been this divided since the Civil War. Yet, we keep falling victim to Russian's new and successful war against the U. S.
