UCLA and Georgia Tech finally played their season-opening college basketball game in China after nearly a week of drama surrounding an alleged shoplifting incident involving three Bruins players. UCLA great Bill Walton, who was doing color commentary for the ESPN broadcast, wants everyone to know that the school and everyone associated with it is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very sorry for all of this.
Very.
“I am sad, disappointed and embarrassed. This is a very big deal,” Walton said as the game tipped off late Friday night on the U.S. East Coast. “The noble purpose here has been stained. Our host, Alibaba China, the people, they have been better than perfect in everything. They’ve done everything right to make this all work. Now members of our family have displayed an appalling lack of honor, a lack of respect, a lack of decency by doing something in someone else’s home that they would never do in their own. And I want to apologize right now on behalf of the human race for this travesty.”

Walton must have a galactic ego to think he can apologize to the Chinese on behalf of all sentient beings.
Their plan was obviously foolproof. They blend right in over there for starters.
Bill “Symbionese Liberation Army” Walton
Solid bump!!!
Hey dirtbag.
I don’t want you apologizing on my behalf, for the actions of some overpaid, underbrained, ghetto scumbags.
They should go to jail, and you need to be deeply interrogated by the CIA or agency of jurisdiction, for nearly causing an international incident.
I don't care who you are, that is explosively hilarious right there. Oh man, tears of laughter. What a dope!
I think it will actually be a fair trial, and it will be very public.
Oh thanks, generic White Guy who means nothing in this situation.
If anything rather than thinking US maneuvers will be needed for this motley crew, they were only there b/c of a huge Alibaba donor.
If Alibaba wants them out of the country and the matter swept under the rug, raise your hand if you think it won’t happen.
“They blend right in over there for starters.”
Interesting angle, sparked a thought.
It takes a special kind of stupid to actually CREATE a stereotype in the collective minds of 1.4 billion people.
The rest of the world is watching as well.
I’m disgusted they are from my country.
They looked like three of the dumbest shits I’ve seen.
Single digit IQs.
Maybe they could dedicate a new coal-fired plant or two....
Walton’s been eating the brown acid again.
Bill Walton was a great Basketball player. He is not smart enough to not make a gaffe with a remark. Give him a pass, he was a great white player in a black sport.
So Bill is saying that the Chinese are NOT part of the human race.
Way to go Bill.
Imperial Japan thought the same thing.
It’s 2:32p there.
Their demeanor is being watched by police and cameras.
The rooms westerners occupy are specific to the hotel.
“My daddy’s money will get ME out of this” is what DiAngelo is thinkin’.
The others are sayin’, “DiAngelo you got to get us out of this too?”
Now, they start to turn on each other.
All happening right now.
I want to apologize to all Louis Vuitton Evidence Sunglass owners.
Hey Bill, leave me out of it. I didn’t shoplift anything.
