There are worse things than shoplifting you know.
One of the worst is losing basketball games.
Just sayin’.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Yes. They sure have.
But they really DO NOT CARE about that. Not one whit.

Come to think of it, there were no females...

I’ve read that Japan does not allow Arabs in the country, except embassy staff.

Though not a story about athletes on foreign soil, the attitudes and privilege philosophy it embodies are pertinent to this thread: LINK
Story in a nutshell: black college kids shoplift at a bakery. Rather than hold the kids accountable, the college punishes the bakery.

I remember when Texas Southern University's "Ocean Of Soul" band had many members arrested for shoplifting in Japan while there to play at a football game.
quote:
Texas Southern University in Houston disbanded its Ocean of Soul Marching Band after at least a dozen band members were involved in a shoplifting scandal during a trip to Japan. "TSU students have marched for the last time under that once proud name," University President William H. Harris said. Harris said disciplinary action had been taken against at least 12 band members for shoplifting $22,000 worth of electronics items during a Tokyo shopping trip Dec. 7. He did not elaborate. The band was in Tokyo to perform during the halftime of the football game between the University of Nebraska and Kansas State University. Japanese police said most of the shoplifted items were returned when authorities threatened to detain the band.

Let the punishment fit the crime. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

I hope these idiots get locked up for a long time in a Chinese jail! Then, maybe, just maybe they will learn some respect (but I doubt it).

Yes, I've read that Japan does not allow muslims to enter the country, a sound policy the USA should adopt.
