Three UCLA Basketball Players Shoplift in China, Trump Gets Them Released From Prison

How did three African-American basketball players think they could walk into a store in China and not have everyone stare at them every second they were there?

From the New York Post:

Three UCLA basketball players detained in China on suspicion of shoplifting arrived back in the United States on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump said he had sought the help of Chinese President Xi Jinping in the case. 

The players landed at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight from Shanghai on Tuesday evening, their heads down. The three — LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill — declined to speak to throngs of reporters before boarding a bus. 

“What they did was unfortunate,” Trump told reporters earlier in Manila. He said the trio, who had been held since last week, could have faced long prison sentences. Trump described Xi’s response as “terrific.”

From Fox News:

UCLA basketball players thanked President Trump for "helping us out," after a Twitter nudge from the commander-in-chief who worked to get China to drop shoplifting charges against them. 

"I would like to thank President Trump and the United States government for the help that they've provided as well," LiAngelo Ball said in a press conference on Wednesday. 

"To President Trump and the United States government, thank you for taking the time to intervene on our behalf," another player, Cody Riley, said. "We really appreciate you helping us out." 

"Thank you to the United States government and President Trump for your efforts to bring us home," the third player, Jalen Hill, said.
