Someone always has to play the race card. I think the fact that she is a "Celebrity" B-ball player had a lot more to do with it than her color. She chose to put herself in the public eye by playing professional sports. She further placed herself in the public eye by participating in a divisive issue (kneeling during the anthem). If she wasn't a professional ball player and she didn't kneel for the national anthem, we probably wouldn't have even heard about it regardless of her color. This story wouldn't have even made the front page and she would have just been left to rot in prison without anyone hardly even knowing about it.
There are Americans all over the world in foreign prisons that we'll never hear about. We're just hearing about this one because she's famous and because it's Russia who we are at odds with right now. Leave your race baiting out of it.
