When President Donald Trump intervened to secure the release of three college basketball

players who were arrested in China for shoplifting, the father of one of the athletes refused

to thank the president or even give him due credit for ensuring that his son did not spend

the next decade in a Chinese prison.

Now, a mother whose son is also jailed in China is speaking out with eight words for

President Trump that put LaVar Ball to shame.

Earlier this month, during the president's twelve-day trip to five Asian nations, three

freshman UCLA basketball players were caught shoplifting on a team trip to Hangzhou, China.

Fortunately for LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill, Trump interceeded to secure

their release, calling the president of China and diplomatically requesting that the three

young men be sent back to the U.S. to be dealt with at home.

Rather than offer his sincere thanks, though, Ball's father had the nerve to insult Trump

upon his son's return stateside.

The disrespectful dad mocked the president when he was asked about Trump's influence

in getting his son released, saying, "Who?

What was he over there for?"

Ball furthered, "Don't tell me nothing.

Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out," according to International Business

Times.

LaVar Ball doubled down on these remarks, even after the resulting backlash, telling

CNN, "It wasn't like [Trump] was in the U.S. and said, 'Okay, there are three kids

in China.

I need to go over there and get them.'

Then, I would say, 'Thank you,' if he would have put them on his plane and took

him home.

Then, I would have said, 'Thank you, Mr. Trump, for taking my boy out of China and

bringing him back to the U.S.'"

In the wake of LaVar Ball's incendiary comments, another parent has come forward who, coincidentally,

also has a son who was arrested in China.

Antoinette Brown has spent the last 14 months on a quest to get her son, Wendell Brown,

released from a Chinese jail.

Brown claims her son was attacked one night when he was out at a bar for a friend's

birthday party, but that he was the only one arrested in the aftermath of the fight.

After having a hell of a time trying to help him, she pleaded with Donald Trump to intervene,

saying that she "most definitely would thank him with no problem."

When it comes to the parents of athletes who have found trouble abroad, consider Antoinette

Brown to be the anti-LaVar Ball.

She has been on a 14-month long quest to have her son Wendell Brown released from a Chinese

jail after an altercation at a bar.

Brown says her son was attacked by a beer bottle, and the incident got him in trouble

with the authorities.

Brown appeared on "Fox & Friends" to tell her story of trying to get her son out of

Chinese jail.

[Source: BizPac Review] "President Trump intervened when three UCLA

basketball players were arrested for shoplifting," explained Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth.

"He helped them return home safely.

The father of one of those players downplayed the president's help."

"Another mother whose son is stuck in China is pleading for President Trump to help her

son who has been held in a Chinese jail for over a year," added co-host Griff Jenkins.

"She says she would never stop thanking President Trump for his help."

"Mother of former Ball State linebacker Wendell Brown, Antoinette Brown, joins us

now," said Molly Line.

"I cannot imagine what it's like to have a son trapped overseas in a prison where you

can't see him and get worried of how he is doing.

If you could just share with us a little bit of the story about how he ended up going to

China and ended up in this situation," she continued.

"He ended up going to China to help a friend coach the doctor's football team," explained

Brown.

"And he was also teaching English to the teammates that didn't know English.

He had been there for a year.

And he ended up going to a friend's birthday party at a bar and he was attacked by a group

of locals throwing bottles at him.

And unfortunately, he was the only one arrested after the attack on his life," she added.

"Antoinette, let us give the floor to you here right now," said Jenkins.

"What would you like to say to President Trump right now?" asked the Fox News host.

"I would humbly ask for him to help my son that's in an unfortunate situation," Brown

responded.

"And I would be truly grateful.

And most definitely would thank him with no problem."

This provides a stark contrast to LaVar Ball's ungrateful attitude.

There are those, like Antoinette Brown, who would literally do anything for a little help

from Donald Trump, and she would be rightfully grateful.

Let's make this go viral.
