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

[mindlessobserver]

I am going to summarize this thread.

Ahem.

Attention everyone. 'Clinks champagne glass'.

"Can I have your attention?"

Ahem.


THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO BE LECTURED TOO BY A COMPANY THAT BENT THE KNEE TO A GOVERNMENT THROWING ETHNIC MINORITIES INTO CONCENTRATION CAMPS ABOUT WHAT IS MORAL. LEBRON JAMES CAN TAKE A FLYING LEAP OFF THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA AND IN BETWEEN SUCKING XI XINPINGS COCK EXPLAIN TO THE FREE PEOPLE OF AMERICA HOW THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF XINJIANG AND THE REPRESSION OF HONG KONG IS ALL A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE AND HOW ITS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT WORDS HAVE CONSEQUENCES."

Ahem.

And thank you. A toast if you will. I raise my glass to the free people of the world.

God save the President of the United States.
God save the Republic of the United States.
May god smite her enemies.


And may god smite the NBA.

Soccer is just too ridiculous with their fake injury theatrics.

We need a sport where two groups beat the shit out of eachother, one where injuries keeps new talent coming in so we don't end up with stagnant athletes dulling the sport.

Well, there is Russian Group Boxing (or Stenka na Stenku)...

Or just beating the shit out of each other in group brawls...

So this is the training camp for all the Spartak Ultras I assume?

It's like a tree falling in the woods. Did it really happen if nobody watched it?

Hockey?

Still full of fags who cry to the ref if you touch them the wrong way but at least you can still beat the shit out of someone and only get a 5 minute timeout.

So much for making a “stand.”

This is extremely problematic. Just because profits are down and ratings are in the toilet doesn't mean you can stop getting out this important message. Surely black lives matter more than some dollars mr. (((Silver)))?

Some Youtubers posted a good sense of humor with the 2020 NBA championship on this vlog.

That's doubly sad when you consider that the lockdowns have given the NBA a literal captive audience and nobody wants to watch this shit.

 

[Hard Toothbrush]

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.

Or the player picks it up, eats it and gets on with their day/game

 

[Absolutego]

The blatant lack of parity and obvious narrative engineering are gonna kill this league before the BLM shit does. I haven't cared about the NBA in years after the saga with the Warriors and pretty much every still-fan I've talked to stopped watching the playoffs because they knew a Lakers victory was a foregone conclusion, just so the league could hype Lebron again. The constant political messaging is just the corn kernels atop the existing shit sundae.

Don't watch the music! Be the music!

I guess it could be said their demographic is out burning shit down instead.

 

[DerSneedstrom]

I'd argue that this is the epitome of privilege over any skin color any day of the week. Your own mini-house?

Now that is a guy who knows how to replenish his electrolytes.

I want to point out that this shit is happening while the conference is fucked.

The NBA has had absolutely no parity in years. Up until LeBron left Cleveland, the Cavaliers were carried, over and over again, by him being a generational talent, and the Golden State Warriors, meanwhile, became a superteam because Kevin Durant is a fucking asshole. Over 80% of the league, for almost four fucking years, had no ability whatsoever to even hope to compete against these, and over a third of the teams were deliberately tanking to secure draft picks.

This game was fucked a while ago, COVID and BLM just shut the coffin lid.

So, sort of like that article where a bunch of guys programmed the draft pool in some NBA video game to be nothing but the worst players possible, but for real?

Warriors vs Cavs.
In every final.
For like five fucking years.

Just 30% to go! C'mon we can do it!
