NBA makes its stand: If you can’t handle player protest, then move on -

Change the national anthem to the chinese one and have the players kneel in solidarity with the imprisoned or genocided muslims.

One guy wondered if the NBA players saw that old Chinese tv commercial?

The Chinese TV commercial that the NBA doesn’t want its players to see​

By Thomas Lifson

The National Basketball Association has climbed into bed with the Chinese Communist Party because the nation it rules is a huge market that seems to be in love with basketball. So eager to please the ruling communists is the NBA that fans with protest signs supporting Hong Kong democracy protestors were kicked out of games.
The NBA does, however, love protests against the United States, especially Black Lives Matter protests, even though those have led to death and destruction in this country. The vast majority (almost 3/4) of NBA players are Black, even though such a widely disproportionate racial makeup of any other highly paid workforce outside of athletics would be deemed strong evidence of racial discrimination.
I would wager that the NBA’s management does not want its players to see the following Chinese television commercial in which a Chinese woman shoves a Black man into a washing machine after feeding him a laundry detergent tablet, where the advertised product magically (and violently) washes the blackness out of the man – to the delight of the woman. He comes out Chinese (not White), of course.

I think that ad will never get old and who knows if it might be a new meme?

Sorry for the bump but I got the feeling then the NBA ratings will get another drop now then Lebron was injured at his right ankle.

LeBron James sprains right ankle in loss, out indefinitely

LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James left in the second quarter with a high right ankle sprain that the Lakers said will sideline him indefinitely, and Los Angeles went on to fall 99-94 to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday.

Two hours after the game, the Lakers announced that James is out indefinitely. The defending NBA champions already are without All-NBA big man Anthony Davis, who has missed 14 consecutive games with a right calf injury and likely won’t play again until April.

“Nothing angers and saddens me more than not being available to and for my teammates!” James tweeted later Saturday. “I’m hurt inside and out right now. The road back from recovery begins now. Back soon like I never left.”

James was hurt when he rolled his ankle under Solomon Hill, who was called for a foul as he reached awkwardly for a steal. The 36-year-old superstar screamed and fell to the court clutching at his ankle, yet he got up and briefly stayed in the game.

“I haven’t necessarily seen him scream and squall like that, probably ever, not even with that groin,” said Kyle Kuzma, who was with the Lakers when James missed 17 games with a groin injury two seasons ago. “It had to hurt a little bit, for sure.”

Could we see it as a sign of a bad omen for the new Space Jam movie?

Good, I hope all media crossover ventures involving X-Sports-Organizations fail in the future.

None of the "stars" in these leagues are as talented as they think they are, by the way, they're just a bunch of shit talkers who know nothing more than to smile and look pretty for the camera so it's no skin off my nose if they give up talent for virtue signalling.

The one quote that got me is when Lebron says he does his homework when in fact he probably never had to do homework in high school and can't get beyond the first page of any book that doesn't include pictures.

What was the NBA reaction to comments about Hong Kong?

What did he mean by this?

You don't need to be a racist to hate millionaires who say "Just suck China's cock, bro," but it helps.

What was the NBA reaction to comments about Hong Kong?

The NBA immediately denounced Morey's Tweet (like an hour later), and China was still so pissed off that Morey wasn't outright fired that China pulled out of several deals and then NBA lost hundreds of millions of dollars anyway.

NBA will lose hundreds of millions of dollars due to rift with China, commissioner says

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the league could suffer financial losses of $400 million or less after a dispute with China following an executive's Twitter post last October.

Lebron also made a fucking brain dead comment about the situation.

"I don't want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl, with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand and he spoke," James said. He added, "And so many people could have been harmed, not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually."

I love the NBA more than any other sport and still watch League Pass pretty much every night, but this whole situation was absolutely a black mark on the league.

When Lebron was in HS, the CEO of Adidas met with him and wrote him a check for $10 million. Other interested companies bought his mom a brand new car, offered to sponsor his school, etc. . His highlights were on national television, providing insane free advertising for the prep school he was attending at the time. He definitely never forced anyone to do his homework, because he never had to do any homework.
