If You Wonder Why That Player Shoplifted In China...Just Look At His Asshole Father

Yeah, Ball is a clown and a national embarrassment.

But of course, we've proven that such qualities don't stop us from supporting people like that.

If you know what I mean.

It would be pretty dumb to ignore a billion or so potential viewers.

It would be pretty dumb to fly two NCAA college teams to China for their season opener when that isn't required to broadcast a program*.
I mean it isn't like they are trying to sell tickets to a billion people.




*Except maybe in communist China.

Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!

Give the kids a good, swift kick in the ass and put the big-mouth father in Chinese prison.

Perhaps you can explain to me how three NCAA college student getting busted for shoplifting in China is a good idea.
You know ... Explain how that helps ESPN, the league, the students ... Anyone.

I am interested in finding out how you think that wasn't a dumb idea.

This is pretty much self-explanatory. The kid is a chip off the old block.

LaVar Ball Does Not Credit Trump for Son’s Release After China Arrest

UCLA basketball star LiAngelo Ball and two other players were arrested in China for shoplifting — a crime that carries a ten-year sentence there — and President Donald Trump intervened, asking Chinese President Xi Jinping to look into the case. Chinese authorities have since freed the players, but now, LiAngelo’s father, LaVar Ball, has dismissed the president’s efforts.
Freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill were arrested in Hangzhou, China, on November 7 for allegedly stealing merchandise from a Louis Vuitton store near the hotel the team was staying in outside of Shanghai. The team was in China to face Georgia Tech in its season opener last week.

Initially, the three were told they could have been forced to stay in China under house arrest for up to a month as Chinese authorities went through the legal process to indict them. The outlook worsened, too, when Chinese authorities said they had store surveillance of the three players stealing from several stores, not just the one Louis Vuitton store.

The three were also forced to remain in China even as their teammates flew back to the United States.

But the arrests also coincided with President Donald Trump’s state visit to China, and during the trip, he appealed to Chinese leader Xi Jinping to help resolve the case. Only a day later, LiAngelo and the other two players were allowed to board a plane and fly back home to California.

Many, such as ESPN’s Tony Kornheiser, noted that the three players have Trump to thank for their quick release in a case that would have seen a Chinese citizen detained for months before the legal process even began. Indeed, not long after they arrived safely home, the players all joined in a press conference to thank the president for his efforts.

But now, LiAngelo Ball’s father is saying he and his family have no reason to be grateful to the president.

The senior Ball spoke to ESPN’s Arash Markazi on Trump’s intercession, and instead of thanking the president, Ball attacked him.

“Who?” Ball said when Markazi raised the topic. “What was he over there for? Don’t tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out,” he added.

Ball also insisted that the crime his son was accused of was no big deal.

“As long as my boy’s back here, I’m fine,” Ball said, continuing:

I’m happy with how things were handled. A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there. Like I told him, “They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.” I’m from L.A. I’ve seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses. My son has built up enough character that one bad decision doesn’t define him. Now if you can go back and say when he was 12 years old he was shoplifting and stealing cars and going wild, then that’s a different thing.

“Everybody gets stuck on the negativity of some things, and they get stuck on them too long,” he concluded. “That’s not me. I handle what’s going on, and then we go from there.”​

what a jackass...instead of being polite and civil--he's just like a lot of jerks
I try to be civil and polite to people I don't like
and again--the double negative --''don't tell me nothing''---not only jerks these people are, they cannot even speak the most basic English properly
..yes--we can see why his son is also a jackass
like jackass like son

you have to be very, very stupid/ignorant to shoplift in a foreign country
allow me to go a little off topic--if these people are that stupid--now you can see why they would not listen to a cop with a gun pointed at them--very, very stupid
they think they can do whatever they want

This seems to be more and more common.....no respect for others.......no respect for authority.
Kind of like Robocop in Detroit.

Do you honestly think the teams were flown over there for the express purpose of shoplifting? Are you on drugs?

They didn't want the worthless troublemakers there, so they sent the garbage back to America.
