“Look What Happened to Brittney Griner”: Months After WNBA Star’s Release, Joe Rogan Makes an Imposing Statement on Difference Between Russia and USA

Apart from being a repository of entertaining content, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ is also a stage for political conversations. Rogan has hosted several prominent political figures on his show and had serious discussions with them. The Spotify podcast leader also discusses trending political issues with his guests. Such talks add to the value that JRE brings to the table.

One such discussion happened during a recent episode of JRE, where Joe Rogan hosted stand-up comic, writer, and public speaker Ali Siddiq. The pair conversed over a diverse range of topics for over three hours.

One of those was about the difference between living in the US and outside it. In this context, Rogan brought up an interesting comparison.

He discussed the plight of WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia after they imprisoned her and compared her to how Russian fighters in the UFC fare in the US. The 55-year-old had some interesting takes on the subject.

In episode #1998 of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Rogan took a look back at the Brittney Griner issue. The WNBA star was detained in a Russian airport after the authorities found illegal narcotics in her bag. She was later imprisoned, and the issue caused huge political turmoil in the US.

Recollecting the same, Rogan said, “Look what happened to Brittney Griner. That would not happen in America. Russians come to America and they do all kind… Russians fight in the UFC almost every weekend and no one cares.”

He continued, “No one gets mad at them. No one screams at them. No one throws things at them. They go out there. People cheer when they win. There’s a tonne of Russian fighters that are in the UFC.”

Griner was able to return home after the US agreed to a prison swap involving arms dealer Viktor Bout. Rogan strongly condemned the incident slamming how Griner became a political pawn.
