Will mainstream tv news give this any airtime?

If it was something negative for Trump we would be hearing about it on tv right now.

in defense of the players, they were in China, so maybe they thought the glasses were knockoffs and had a real value of about $6 or so

Do you condone theft?
Do you think that people who already have special privileges should receive even more special privileges?

Yes I condone theft. You got me. What an amazing argument that was.

Friday morning, Nov. 10
Around 7 a.m., Ball, Hill and Riley were given their passports back and Carlson returned the bail money. The charges were dropped, but there was a secret handshake agreement between school officials and Chinese authorities that the players would not leave until Tuesday, one week after they had been detained.

"It was important for [Chinese authorities] that the players were left back for a couple of days after the rest of the team flew home," one team source said. "We agreed not to say anything and not comment until they returned home. They wanted there to be some kind of punishment and avoid the perception that they got off easy. Their flights were switched from Saturday night to Tuesday night, so they were going back home 72 hours after the rest of the team. So, it wasn't like we found out Tuesday morning they were coming home that day. We knew. That was already the plan Friday morning."

The situation was already resolved by the time we heard about Trump's involvement," one team source said. "That's not to take away from the fact that he got involved, but the players already had their passports back and their flights booked to go home Tuesday night when Gen. Kelly called the players

The players were already checked into the hotel before the public discovered they were arrested," a team source said. "They also were not under house arrest. It was our decision to keep them at the hotel until the situation was resolved. The charges were dropped, they weren't reduced, and that happened two days before we heard from Gen. Kelly.

It just seemed like the right thing to do," the source said. "Everyone wanted to move on and put this behind us. Why get into it with the president? Let's not create another story by not thanking him. He had already tweeted about getting a thank you the morning of the press conference, so thank him and move on

If this is true, Lavar Ball would have been claiming this from day one.

If this is true, Lavar Ball would have been claiming this from day one.

Assuming he knew and that he was going to break a secret agreement between the school and China that benefitted his kid, just to tweak the President. The man does a lot of questionable things but I doubt he's that stupid.
