UCLA Basketball Players: ‘Thank You Mr. President’

I’m going to be honest, I haven’t followed this story closely, because I couldn’t care less that a few entitled thugs decided to SHOPLIFT in China.

Am I supposed to feel awful for them? I don’t.

Don’t be stupid.

Libs looooooove b*tching about how “oppressive” the justice system is in our country. HAHA. Yeah. Ok….. Try shoplifting in China, why don’t you?

So basically three UCLA players were arrested while in China for being complete idiots…

The players were arrested on Nov. 8, accused of stealing designer sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store in Hangzhou. The team was in the country to play an exhibition against Georgia Tech. Playing without the three freshmen, U.C.L.A. won, 63-60, in Shanghai on Friday.

The players were detained at their hotel in Hangzhou for most of the week as their teammates flew home. On Tuesday, the three players were allowed to board a flight back to California.

“An awful lot of American kids don’t realize that the kinds of things that in United States society we tolerate with a slap on the wrist, a lot of countries they take very seriously,” John F. Kelly, the president’s chief of staff, said on Tuesday.

“Our president said to Xi, ‘Do you know anything about these knuckleheads that got caught allegedly stealing?’” Kelly said.

Trump’s intervention got them off the hook… and he made sure they knew it.

Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!

As is to be expected, people freaked out at the tweet:

I don’t expect thank you every time I do my job… it’s my job and i’m expected to go above and beyond

Would you ever have said this if they were white? Oh that’s right, good white athletes would never ever ever embarrass their country while abroad . . . pic.twitter.com/btIqXtlZlM

Of course someone made this about race. OF COURSE. Guess what, dumba$$. This wasn’t about race until you made it so.

Have you thanked Putin?

People really, really suck.

Anyway… the players seem to have more sense than these Twitter idiots (which obviously isn’t saying much) they HAVE thanked Trump.

According to this:

LiAngelo Ball and both of his UCLA basketball teammates just FULLY ADMITTED to stealing in China … and THANKED President Donald Trump for getting them back to the U.S.

Ball — along with Cody Riley and Jalen Hill — spoke to the media for the first time since being arrested in Hangzhou for stealing sunglasses from Louis Vuitton.

As TMZ Sports reported, the guys stole from MULTIPLE STORES — not just Louis Vuitton — and LiAngelo Ball acknowledged that in his apology.

“I’m sorry for stealing from the stores in China.”

All three men said they were extremely sorry for shoplifting — didn’t dispute the allegations one bit — and promised they will redeem themselves moving forward.

Each player thanked Trump by name for the work he did behind the scenes.

Head coach Steve Alford announced all 3 players are suspended indefinitely — will not practice, suit up or travel with the team until a complete review is done by school officials.

Sounds like there is a chance the guys will still be allowed to play this season — as Alford did not give a timeline for their return.

UCLA apologized to Alibaba — founded by Jack Ma. As we previously reported, Ma also put in work behind the scenes to get the boys back to America.

I will RAGE if any of these guys EVER has the gall to talk crap about America EVER….
