He hasn’t figured out China is a slave state with a history of mass murder and still has concentration camps and reeducation centers?

He must be CNN/NBC trained…

I don’t think it’s that deep. He may well know China’s history of human rights abuses but any kind of disrespect is messing with NBA’s money so he’s quiet.

Did you hear about the whole thing with South Park ?

Ted Cruz is right here:

Doing the right thing is a little more difficult when it might cost you a paycheck. Both the silence and pandering to China speak volumes.

It is if you worship it (I know plenty of those people). Otherwise, it can only buy what you are willing to sell.

Yes, But he’s an outspoken liberal usually. has tons to say about how horrible the US is. BUt, yes. Once his paycheck is threatened, who cares about Oppression, mass murder and slavery…

Now we know how the National socialists rose in Germany. I think Time Mag did an article on the German economic miracle. It’s the greed that blinds people…

Irony of course, is that these are the people who usually preach about the evils of corporate greed

I’d say its time for the NBA to gin up some basketball interest in India who are less then 10 million short of the massive population of China, in other words there is another massively populated country that can compete with China. These two countries alone make up almost 40% of the entire global population.

India is an ally of the United States, a Democracy that is galloping toward Capitalism so American businesses like Apple and American sports like the NBA should be looking to India to continue making their BIG $$$$$ in foreign countries.

China is fascist… Should we just let fascism grow again?

I don’t really understand why progressive players and coaches are getting the brunt of the criticism regarding China.

If an outspoken pro-life player didn’t speak out against China, would he be any less of a hypocrite? Especially considering how many abortions happen in China.

How about a strong Second Amendment advocate? Pretty sure China has gun control.

Indians are far more interested in cricket and hockey.

Ex-Pat · 2019-10-13T00:04:01.639Z

Indians on average have much less money than Chinese people.

Roxiebelle · 2019-10-13T01:53:41.115Z

Indeed they do have less money and that’s another reason that BIG American businesses should think about setting up shop in India because the labor wages would probably be lower then they are in China and there are plenty of population to fill the demands of a manufacturing company like Apple for instance. India is a Democracy whereas China is Communist and many American businesses set up their customer service call centers in India, why not manufacturing.

Roxiebelle · 2019-10-13T02:00:25.253Z

True that’s why it would require some effort to gin up interest. Japan is big on baseball, China is big on basketball, why not try to get some India interest in American sports, just a thought.

Ex-Pat · 2019-10-13T02:37:22.861Z

The NBA has actually tried to get more popular in India. The Dallas Mavericks even drafted a mediocre big man from India to gin up interest. It’s been a challenge. Indians are set in the ways in regards to sports. Soccer isn’t even very popular there.

NIKE
Nike Nike, Nike, Nike, Nike, Nike, Nike, Nike.
Nike, The pathetic shoe company that sells out, should take their business elsewhere! Out of America!!! Especially, since they’re so good at selling out America, and employing children over in China.

Progressive players happen to be targeted because of their disdain for Trump, calling out for supposed racism and bashing of America as racist, lamenting over things did to their ancestors hundreds of years ago, (or police treatment of black criminals) while they are making millions of dollars in the country in the country that they lambaste. Where they are free to say anything they want about the country. However, they go to country where they are told not to say a thing about a dictatorship that allows no freedom. Enslaving Muslims in real concentration camps, not the mythical concentration camps in the USA. Where Christians are imprisoned, tortured. I have been to the prolife march in memorial of the Roe V Wade, where 50 million babies, have been slaughtered, many of them disproportionately black. The ‘progressives’ seem to go along with the right to kill black babies. I have seen current baseball players, many ex pro football players, don’t remember a prolife basketball players giving a prolife speech at the March for Life. I have not seen one outspoken politically active prolife NBA player give right to life speeches at the March for Life. Let us say, I forgot some, the thing is if there is a prolife outspoken NBA player, it would not be hypocrisy if they go to China and say nothing, unless they are expressing disdain for those on the left as well. If you can show me a prolife NBA player who also degrades, the Clintons, Obama, Warren, and is quiet when going to China, I’m all ears, please identify that person. Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr, Lebron James, lambaste how horrible Trump and Republicans are, but zip it up when they go to China, where the population has no civil rights at all. That is the hypocrisy.

Do pro-life people not criticize America for its abortion laws?

Do pro-life people never have disdain for those on the left?

Do pro-life people not call the left racist for the number of Black mothers getting abortions?
