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

Sounds like the ever-tolerant Chinese got a little sick of the political messages and started complaining.
I don't think it's China who's complaining, I think it's everybody else.
Woke spergs don't watch sports and they don't buy the merchandise, you can only pander to them so much until it starts affecting your finances.

“I would say, in terms of messaging you see on our court, on your jerseys; this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began the discussions with the players and what we’ve all lived through this summer. My sense is there’ll be somewhat of a return to normalcy. That those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor. I understand those people who are saying ‘I’m on your side, but I want to watch a basketball game.’”

:story:

These NBA players are no more different than the NFL players.
They protest for one day by kneeling on the court, yet forget that sponsorships will be taken away from general managers who are worth multi-millions, if not billions.

It's like when they tard raged over Donald Sterling when his wife secretly recorded some 'racist' comments.

The guy bought the Clippers for $40 million and sold it for $2 billion

He doesn't give a fuck about some ball dribblers.

How do you say "We are proud to present the 2025 Greatest Helmsman Basketball Assocation Finals from right here at Xinjiang Vocational Concentrated Training Camp 27, featuring that foreign devil nigger LeBron James!" in ching chong?
我们很自豪地在这里举行的第二十七届新疆职业集中训练营,在这里展示2025年最伟大的舵手篮球联赛决赛,其中包括那个外国魔鬼黑鬼勒布朗·詹姆斯 (well at least that's what Babelfish says)

I'd say it's about time North America finally embraced Football (Soccer) but than I see the ongoing events in the MLS; what with a team bailing over someone being called a faggot or something. You'll catch up with Europe and South America one day
Wait what, is the MLS that fragile? Even in the most cucked parts of Europe you can throw a banana at a black player and all that happens is you get banned from games and charged under some hate speech law and the player whines in the media and that's it.

They won't catch up and they most likely never will. It's not about Football (Soccer) over there, it's just another passionless entertainment show.
Football (Soccer) is not about just sitting there gulping down junk food, it's about passion and love for your club colors, it's about being a supporter to your colors, not being a fan/consumer/customer.
Supporters don't care about how comfortable the seats are or how many different foods and drinks they have at the terrace. Supporters only want to help the team as best as they can to win the game, because that's all that matters.
It's about being a supporter of your club for decades maybe even a century in your family. Football (Soccer) supporters are called the 12th man on the ground for a reason.

I'm a sports fan that's moved on from all team sports, and know plenty of people that feel similarly. The COVID situation breaking us out the habit of sports being there every single day was concerning enough that these leagues should have been especially welcoming, yet they chose to go full retard with the Virtue Signaling which will baffle me forever.

Some MLS fan bases have tried to adopt the European club supporter thing, like the Seattle Sounders. But they're infested with antifa and will purity spiral you right out of the group if you aren't one of them. Here you can't simply LARP as an European football supporter without swallowing the poz load.

From the article: "But Tim wants it known that he has no plans to renew his membership with the raucous Sounders fan club known as the Emerald City Supporters."

That's the problem right there. Usually a fan club is offically acknowledged by the club, most if not all supporter groups/ultras aren't. I think you know the reasons for that.
A fan club and a supporter group/ultra group are two completely different things, a fan club is just another business, a supporter group...yah well, you get the picture.
