‘They Got Jason Sudeikis’ – American Tennis Player Comes Up With a Sarky ‘Ted Lasso’ Reference on Brittney Griner’s Release

Star American WNBA player, Brittney Griner, was stuck in a Russian jail for a long time. The 32-year-old earlier was detained by the Russian government on account of carrying banned substances in her luggage. Many prominent sports stars came forward to raise their voice to support the release of Griner. After a long wait of 9 months, she finally returns home. However, to get her back the US government had a pay a big price. They gave away arms dealer Viktor Bout to the Russians in exchange.

While many are commending the Joe Biden-led US government, Tennis star, Tennys Sandgren, found the funnier side of it. Here’s what happened.
