I think the NBA played this wrong. The NBA is huge in China. Their people love it. When China cancelled the preseason games broadcast, the NBA should have just pulled it all.Â

That's the only thing any government fears.
The America, and the American Military, that you once knew is gone.

Wow. That name brings back some fun memories. Dinner Bell Mel. The admissions people at UK drummed up a entrance test for Mel...all he had to do was spell UK....took him about 2 hours but he finally did it.
Mel killed himself later in life unfortunately.

Unfortunate ending. He was no joke while at UK.

Another profile of courage obediently bows down to their master. Curry claims not to know enough stuff about China to comment on China...
Steph Curry: “This situation, there†s a huge weight and gravity to it. There†s going to need to be some things to be sorted out. But I just don†t know enough about Chinese history and how that†s influenced modern society…This is not going away. So we†ll come back to it.†pic.twitter.com/6h6ZGWHQtq — Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) October 9, 2019

The liberal fools stand for freedom, liberty, no boundaries in terms of letting people in our nation and accepting all to be inclusive....till they have to condemn the antithesis of what they supposedly stand for.

The NBA is complicit: Did you know the NBA has a training center in Xinjiang, where Muslim minorities are being held in concentration camps?

Why Is the NBA in Xinjiang? The league is running a training center in the middle of one of the world†s worst humanitarian atrocities.

This whole thing is humorous. All those anti-woke culture folks now care deeply for Muslims. Curry has a perfect response that either side probably should say. Until Fox blew their dog whistle none of the message board and social media experts on China knew what, where, on what was going on in ZingZang, or gave a crap about Muslims. They don†t GAS about Hong Kong or China, just its available to be used as a cudgel against woke folks.
For me, it does cause a bit of a circular firing squad as there are enough idiots in wokedom and given the current cancel culture the NBA will prolly hurt NBA income from both sides, China and US. Fringe right and left holding hands in making the US a little worse off. Money coming to US from China not in the US economy so it is a net bad for US.
I am guessing there are six pages of worthless gotcha posts as I didn†t read.
