She went to Russia to promtote the game and goodwill. She's being held because:

(1) She's a woman
(2) She's Black
(3) She is gay
(4) She's American

Hey, Mike Pence,,,,instead of surveying the damage your policies created - for a cheap photo-op. why don't you demand her release? A hi-profile demand that Putin release Ms. Griner now,,,,because only criminal thugs hold hostages. Or isn't she American enough for you?
