Anyone who has read about LaVar Ball's statements and actions while his son Lonzo Ball was at UCLA in 2016-2017 should realize he is a fool, living off the fame of his boys. His "Big Baller Brand" introduced a basketball shoe in 2017 for $495. Later in 2017 his company came out with the "Melo Ball 1" named after his son who is still in HS, for a mere $395, and could put his college playing career in jeopardy.

I have no problem with Trump intervening on the 3 boys' behalf, stupid as they were. The 3 players thanked him. The father did not. UCLA has suspended the 3 players for an indefinite period. My guess is that they will be back on the team fairly soon.

What I disagree with is Trump waging a war of words with LaVar Ball via twitter and the media. Trump is POTUS. Ball is a leach, and not a very smart one. Let it go Donald. There is little to be gained by continuing.

What makes me laugh about this whole schishkebang, is that some of the players who have spoken out say "THey are protesting to object to the social injustice in this country, or cause blacks were slaves back in the day.
BUT THEN STAND FOR THE UK Anthem or Mexican anthem, when the UK WERE THE ONES WHO often shipped those slaves over to the US< and Mexico has one of the worst injustice rates in the western world.
So if they are 'protesting injustice', WHY knee for a country who tries to FIGHT those injustices all over, but STAND FOR a country where those injustices are RAMPANT?

That's because they aren't "protesting injustice" other than their "injustice" of their candidate losing the 2016 election.

Exactly. Trump even taking the time to respond to him is a win for LaVar Ball. We can't really be surprised by anything Trump does however ...when we elect an internet troll to run the country we get what we get.

LaVar Ball didn't "win" anything.

Trump was probably killing time taking a dump so he thought about twittering regarding a turd. You've probably fretted more about it than Trump did.

Trump did the correct thing. Or you'd be bitching about HIM NOT DOING IT.

Trump is giving Ball exactly what he was looking for. The players thanked him for his help and that's where Trump should have left it at. The back and forth Trump has going on with Ball just shows that they are one and the same when it comes to idiocy.

So, our back and forth shows we're both idiots?

I'll correct a couple of things you posted as "fact" ...

"The players" READ A THANK YOU NOTE.

It was ridiculously insincere!

Ball should have kept his mouth shut. Trump has every right to respond to Ball's thankless political bullshit. Had it been Obaminable saving their asses, Ball wouldn't have said shit, but "thank you"! The entire dustup, including your whining, is the "sore loser" syndrome all over again.

Like I said: If he hadn't you'd be whining about that and accusing him of being a racist!!!! You're transparent and so is Ball!!!!

Yep, they're both idiots. I'll just leave it at that.

If you perceive the thanks as insincere then that's your opinion. I don't give a fuck either way in this. If you do something as stupid as what they did then what happens after that is on them.

What exactly does Obama have to do with any of this and how exactly is it relevant to this?

Ok I take that I may be a newbie we all start some where/time.

So Yssup Rider who and or what is a lie? The post don't make a lick of since to me!

And I should known that the discussion would turn racial some how! Don't know why it has to be that way? I didn't mean it to!
And who cares or what business is it of someones if someone else hasn't or can't get a provider of color?

And I duno how or what Obama or anyone else has anything to do with it either!

And yes Trump and Ball's dad are being immature and childish. So is the discussion! You guys are doing the same thing! Just keep it to yourself.

I will just leave it alone I guess?

You appear to be agreeing with the lie. He knows it's a lie, because he knows "all about me"! Just ask him. He even offered to sell information about me! You know who else knows it's a lie .... they post on Eccie.

Thread drift ...

The basketball players sitting are just showing the world who they are ... followers. Leaders lead, followers follow.
