BG isn't less of an American because she's black, or lesbian, or has expressed viewpoints contrary to the mainstream. So let's bring her back. It's not even about her, it's symbolism. We bring home our people, especially if they are famous athletes. I'm not convinced the Russians planted anything on her, and at this point it doesn't matter.
the narrative is that she brought stuff with her but that she was medically certified to have it. the problem is russia's position is "maybe its allowed in the US but its not allowed here". when you overlay that position with the political position between the US and Russia it appears unlikely she will be able come home any time soon.
it is the american governement that will determine whether she will be brought home or not (how much will america "pay" for her return). and american people, as a nation, should hold their government to account if she, or other american's like her, are not brought home.

what the hel was she doing there anyway?
in the off season they have player exchanges / play in other leagues. this is normal for alot of sports. As an example, in hockey off season alot of people try triathlon.
