You can bet this kid is going to get in trouble again overseas. See how much help he gets.

[windsorknot]

His sorry a$$ should still be in China.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

This young man has a few things to learn about class, grace and gratitude.

[GnuThere]

Not surprised - they did not exactly reek of sincerity that day.

[Pinkbell]

Trump should have left him in jail. If Obama saved me, you can darn well bet I would have thanked him publicly without prompting.

[himno hero]

It’ll be a long and difficult road. He has a poor and common ass acting as teacher. It’s evident his father doesn’t know any better. The napple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

[Gene Eric]

Interesting contrast to the terrorists Obama returned to the battlefield.

Ball is ignorant and sadly ungrateful.

[A_Former_Democrat]

What an entitled POS

The whole damn family

[cherry]

I hope karma comes a calling to these arrogant jerks....and comes quick...

[HotHunt]

How is he expected to learn "class, grace and gratitude" with a father like he has?

His father is leading by setting the worse example possible.

This kid will get into trouble again. Count on it.

Hide and watch because it will come

[Dagnabitt]

This guy is in front of reporters, none of whom manage to ask something pertinent like:

“Why do you steal?”

[null and void]

I’d have let them stay in a Chinese jail until my next state visit.

But that’s just me...

From what I'm told, salaries for players at this level of competition usually don't exceed $500 per month in the absolute best case. It wouldn't surprise me if the Ball brothers ended up playing for free. Certainly not the most glamorous league or part of the world to live in.

should have left him in the can , I am sure the ChiComs would have had fun with him . Charge Yen to see him in a walk-by view cell .

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Not surprised - they did not exactly reek of sincerity that day.

The other players seemed more sincere than Ball.

[tired&retired]

Not guilty by entitlement privilege, per the father.

[tired&retired]

If the boy had already been in jail for a month, he got a taste of reality before being with his delusional father.

[KJC1]

Can someone please post that “Not This Sh&T again” pic?

Really, now the son is being a bigger jackass than his dad...yeah that’s great.

[Nifster]

What a useless punk. I hope the physicality if international ball gets his attention....that and being in a country where he can’t speak the language and doesn’t know the local customs
