Dear Super Trump Do you want your cake and eat it too?
would you have been more satisfied had Ball et al landed in some Chinese jail for a couple of years.
Instead they got off with 4 days in a luxury hotel as punishment. Oh the humanity…
And if they got jail would you be complaining that Trump did not help as he is a racist. And then bootstrap, by complaining that the UCLA freshman recruiting class were being exploited by UCLA and the Chinese to make money, and then as part of that exploitation allowed them to see luxury goods they could not afford dangled in front of them like a food for a starving man? Would you then blame others for the thefts as what do you expect they would do?– other than to steal those goods, like that starving man?
Face it they stole stuff allegedly, and got off light. And if recent past history of punishment of UCLA athletes is any indication they will suffer though a 2 game suspension or some other terrible ordeal, after all one thing is true, UCLA and others are making money off them and the program. Can’t hurt that bottom line.. And Trump helped get them off.
Meanwhile the Wooden pyramid of success just took it in the backside 60 degree angle.
LiAngelo is actually Mr. Ball’s middle son. His youngest son is LaMelo, who used to attend Chino Hills High School but is now being home-schooled.
The Donald is wondering why UCLA’s three apprentice thieves aren’t explicitly thanking him for springing them from China. The Golden Golem of Greatness claims the trio was otherwise facing “ten years in jail.”
#6 I’m sure Senior Ball is so appreciative to Mr Trump for pulling some strings to get his youngest pride and joy released he’ll be naming his newest shoe after him. I’ll hold my breath.
Gunna be another thriller fri nite, dont bet against The Bank, especially when they are underdogs.
