On Thursday, a Russian court sentenced Griner to a nine-year prison sentence for carrying cannabis into the country. The former WNBA star will also have to pay a fine of one million rubles ($16,522). Many, including Curt Schilling, believe the athlete was in violation of international law and should take responsibility for her actions. The 55-year-old, three-time World Series champion blamed America's left for selective outrage. "Far more offended a woman broke another countries laws," said Schilling Schilling made his views clear in his latest tweet. He closed with the hashtag "horriblepeople."

She was in possession of a vape cartridge containing hash oil. Although she has received support from a large portion of the country, the case has polarized the American public. Curt Schilling has been vocal about his support for Brittney Griner s prison sentence Pitcher Curt Schilling delivers a pitch during the American League Division Series in Anaheim. This is not the first time Schilling has weighed in on the issue. Less than a month ago, he responded to NBA superstar LeBron James' tweet in support of bringing Griner back to the USA. Curt Schilling@gehrig38I know this may seem like a stretch. But something like 300 million people understand "OBEY THE FUCKING LAW", why is that such a challenge? And why on earth should she NOT pay the penalty for breaking another country's laws? twitter.com/KingJames/stat…LeBron James@KingJamesMy comments on “The Shop” regarding Brittney Griner wasn’t knocking our beautiful country. I was simply saying how she’s probably feeling emotionally along with so many other emotions, thoughts, etc inside that cage she’s been in for over 100+ days!

But something like 300 million people understand "OBEY THE F*****G LAW", why is that such a challenge? And why on earth should she NOT pay the penalty for breaking another country's laws?" - Curt Schilling On that occasion, his aggressively worded message focused on the legal side of the case, stating that most people "obey the f****ng law." Schilling has stated in the past that Griner has never denied committing the crime, which he believes is a key factor in the case. The WNBA and NBA commissioners have also released a joint statement on the decision, calling it "unjustified and unfortunate." Both have called for a safe return to the United States for Griner.

US President Joe Biden has stated that Russia has wrongfully detained Griner. He is under heavy pressure to negotiate a deal to bring her back to the United States. Many believe Brittney Griner is being used as a pawn in the negotiations between Russia and the USA. Whether she intended to break the law or not, a nine-year prison sentence seems very harsh for an athlete in her prime. The 31-year-old will be over 40 years old when she is released.
