Kind of thought the whole thread was political?

 

[BlayZa]

just was reading about all this

what a tangled web we weave......

rivers of gold vs rivers of morals.

TBH im not sure id put the power in the nba players for saying/doing the right thing at the moment. its on the verge of a huge mess.

Not really. It was about the NBA, Morey and China. Not our President. It just doesn't always have to go there

OMG, China has now banned South Park because of last week's episode.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Morey is a fucking idiot for doing this and should be fired.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue will be lost if they don't correct this.

He is a de facto ambassador for the league. A league trying to bring the game "worldwide". China is one of the largest growth markets, and basically he advocated violence against the Chinese Government. China isn't some pussy ass American politicians who will bow down to Antifa, they don't give a fuck, they'll shut down the NBA in their country all together without a second thought.

I predict this will be the season of faulty shoes....blowouts all over the place when they start using chalk for making soles.

I don't think that's going to get the job done. They should have thrown Taiwan under the big red bus too.

Maybe Morey was just tired of traveling to China. Now he doesn't have to anymore.

FUCK CHINA.

Just in case my view on this wasn't clear enough. I have a pathological hatred for the government of that communist shithole, and it's personal for me because of how my father was treated while he did business over there. He's got plenty of lovely stories to tell.

FUCK CHINA. AND FUCK JAMES HARDEN AND ANYONE ELSE WHO EITHER SUPPORTS THAT SHIT OR WANTS TO APOLOGIZE FOR THEM.

 

[Jade Falcon]

When Keith Olbermann and Clay Travis are on the same side of an issue, is that a sign of the apocalypse?

Oh look.....it's Chairman Harden. Mao zeHarden.

The NBA: Where we claim to be woke, but don’t intend to go broke over it.

Time to eat Crow boys!!

 

[Eastoff]

And China takes their ball home and won't play!

This is better. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place so his tempered statement is understandable. But I do wonder what the repercussions would be if he just said F you to China altogether and pulled all NBA stuff off their shelves.

No, that's Harden's new nickname.

Quick, someone warn Lebron not to yell, "Taco Tuesday!" today.

I really wish they would have done that (but they won't) because I'm sure there are a lot of fans over there who would hopefully be upset by this and help be part the change that needs to happen there.

This is I think a good response from the league, but I didn't get the hate their first one got. I thought it basically said the same thing.
"the values of the league support individuals’ educating themselves and sharing their views on matters important to them"

As long as the majority of those that live on social media support what the individual's view is. Otherwise, screw them and they are out of the NBA.
