This is definitely the sexiest trade we’ve ever seen in WNBA history.

It was announced Dec. 8 that Russia Stillkindacommies general manager Vladimir Putin agreed to terms with United States Bald Eagles GM Joe Biden on a deal that will send Brittney Griner to the Bald Eagles, with the Stillkindacommies receiving Viktor “Merchant of Death” Bout in exchange.

After intense trade talks between the two sides, Russia was able to secure Bout to the Stillkindacommies, locking up his deadly shooting that one team scout compared to an “AK-47,” while Griner will be an exceptional tool for the Bald Eagles for the way she can smoke the opposition with her unique queer style of play.

Also included in the deal was three boxes of Graeter’s chocolate chip ice cream that was requested by the Bald Eagles to be sent directly to Biden’s general manager office, with the Stillkindacommies receiving hacked intel to be named at a later date.

The deal was done after original plans fell through that would have sent Baker Mayfield to the Stillkindacommies.

Okay, on a serious note: can we all stop making Brittney Griner out to be some kind of hero?

Dude, she literally got busted for cannabis oil in a foreign country where she knew they were strict on marijuana, and with her being a high-profile American, there was always a target on her back. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against marijuana, but there’s a thing called “playing it smart.” All she did was give Putin the leverage.

And then on ESPN, I have to hear about how great and how much of a hero she is to America and the LGBTQIA+ community, and it literally lasted all day after she was released. It was ridiculous.

Hey, I’m happy for Brittney Griner. I’m happy that another American is back home after dealing with B.S. overseas, but, man, ESPN’s coverage (as well as other left-wing entities in sports) make me just want to send her back to the Kremlin.

ESPN even gave the WNBA credit for getting Brittney Griner freed, for God sakes. Like, give us all a break here.

It’s just annoying.

Griner’s not a hero to anybody. She got freed after putting herself in jail after getting busted with pot. That’s it.

There’s nothing more to any of this, and I won’t even go into how Biden got completely played in this entire scenario.

How pathetic liberal culture makes our beautiful country look — celebrating Griner after freeing a damn arms dealer.

Just weak.
