She is a great basketball player but she chose to go to Russia. She has played in Russia for a number of season and is a smart woman. If Micky D's can close 800 restaurants and the Russians are bombing nuclear reactors she did have a choice and decided to go. I wish her well but an individual who goes to work in Russia at this point is taking a huge risk.

She is not a political prisoner and Russia has a ton of real political prisoners before she agreed to get on a plane and go.
