If they were good, wouldn't you wonder how many times they didn't get caught?

 

From experience I can tell you that every single shoplifter will tell you when caught that "This was thier first time." :lol2:

 

Seriously though the more brazen they are the less likely to be caught...the ones acting weird and looking all around get caught pretty easily.

How many games then? If it was shoplifting in the US would it be less?

10 games, half the seasons? I don't think it being in China really changes it.

All 3 have been suspended indefinitely.

 

Guessing indefinitely means "until we really need you again"? Didn't they suspend three football players for the same things several years ago for the year, and they were very good players if I heard correctly?

Funny they tend to be pretty honest once the cuffs are on, perhaps it's because they've been caught but ya.

I don't think it being in China changes it, but out of the country does. Representing a lot more than just your team on that stage IMO.

Why is it people talk about this as if it is something other than what it truly is? Shoplifting is THEFT pure and simple. It's not a lesser crime because it has the label "shoplifting." Goodbye, go play somewhere else. Let somebody else give you a second chance.

There is nothing wrong with this take as long as it's consistent and you don't contradict yourself. Should the players in college or pro leagues who have a DUI be told to "go play somewhere else as well"?

JMO, they return for the 2nd semester.

Sources told ESPN that university officials are debating whether to suspend LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill anywhere from half of the season up to the full season. Multiple major donors have called the school with their thoughts on the situation, according to sources.

Solid decision to let major donors chime in on what the punishment should be.

Yes, there probably wouldn't even be a thread about it and they probably would be playing again already.

The biggest reason for this thread is that it's the Ball family. If this was any other kid this thread makes it 1 or 2 pages max.

The thread and everything isn't because they shoplifted. The thread and all the national media coverage is because LaVar Ball asked for this. That's all. I couldn't even tell you the names of the other two players without looking.

I disagree in a sense. If it weren't the Ball family the players would still be sitting in a Chinese prison.

Maybe so. I still think Trump steps in and gets the release of the players no matter who the players were or what school they played for. I just don't think this is a huge national storyline if it would have been 3 players from Georgia Tech who people don't know instead of a Ball kid.
