The term "Women" is a social construct. How do we even know if Brittney Griner self-defines as a "woman"????
This has to be a joke
@@ugetrekd9217 Thats the joke tho. He's calling out left wing liberal people like MTV here saying "women's rights" even tho according to them "woman is a social construct"
@@kd35beast24 yes that's what I was suspecting
Sports is a business and people don't watch women's sports in the US. That is just the way it is.
It's about the amount of spectators that you attract, that you get paid for. Same as in the music industry, more of audience you attract, the better you get paid. This is not about gender, race or LGBTQ stuff here. A male detainee would be treated much worse.
2 mos? That's what Russian media says.
Russian court says: Oh yeah? How 'bout 10 yrs!
U don't mess with Russian laws.
Here in the US, u break the law... in Russia, the law breaks u!
I’m sorry that Ms. Grier has unfairly become a pawn in an international chess match. I wish for her speedy return to America. But let’s be honest about why she’s in Russia in the first place, since the video is not. Ms. Grier makes 6 figures to play a kid’s game in America and had at least one lucrative endorsement deal. She did not go to Russia to play ball because she’s starving. She plays in Russia because she simply wants more. I thought that leftists were against this because they perceive it as being greedy.
Where did you look up her expenditures in relation her asset/deficit?
@@romanski5811 That matters to the left now? What happened to “nobody needs that much money” and “fair share”?
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew
It's never about how much money one makes but rather which policies one supports. Supporting policies that result in a reduction of wealth disparities does not imply the elimination of billionaires. Billionaires in Denmark are not a problem relative to the Danish people.

I can't imagine going to Russia for a second job when my first job already pays 200k a year.
Russia is still the bad guy here, but capitalism is also still the bad guy here.
Why is capitalism the “bad guy”? Ms Griner did not have to go to Russia to make more money. She chose to as an adult. If she were a white republican straight dude, you’d be calling her greedy.
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew Capitalism is the bad guy precisely _because_ she didn't 'have to' go. The reason people already making lots of money feel like they have to 'hustle' to make even more _is capitalism._
@@OsirisMalkovich Or maybe she’s just hard working and/or greedy. Is everyone under a capitalist system hard working and/or greedy? What makes farmers grow food for themselves and leave the community farms barren in a communist system?
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew Maybe she is. What would that change? Is everyone under any system any one thing? What do communist farmers have to do with the subject at hand?
@@OsirisMalkovich The point is that people are what they are regardless of the system. Capitalism didn’t make Ms. Griner go to Russia. Her self-interest or work ethic made her go. She’d be the same person under communism. Capitalism has nothing to do with it.
