Lol. Ya, China is supposed to just shut up, give American industry vast access to its market of 1.4B market, and not demand respect from them in return.

If another country was taking USA money, accessing the US market, all the while burning american flags in the street and saying muthafuck america, America would be going ape shit, and you wouldnt be calling america irrational and bratty.

Then again maybe you would, you're a unique muthafucka sometimes

Another point to be made is, above all things, China is about business first and foremost.

When Lebron was there, a commentator once called him Ape James, or black Gorilla or some shit, and there were accusations of racism, despite the fact that in China with their historu with slavery and blacks, or lacktherof, racism isnt intended. The term gorilla used in this context is in reference to his freakish strength and size. And still, the guy got suspended from the position for like 2 or 3 years.

This is really just a rather expensive cultural clash. Has nothing to do with dictatorship or free speech. China has a culture of respect and holding tongue to propagate business and success. American culture has more shades of gray and at times more loose lipped, and as the saying, loose lips, sinks ships.

it was a 5 word tweet from ONE person. get over yourself.

and taking your Lebron James example, what if at that point the NBA said you know what, we dont support racism, we're done with China....??

One person who is the general manager for the Houston Rockets, one of the most connected basketball teams to china who benefits greatly from China due to their association with the chinese basketball association president yao ming. You are better than simplifying shit that isn't simple.

They'd be perfectly fine with doing so and I'd defend their freedom of choice! But it wouldnt get there, you know why? because China would be respectful to admit that that one person overstepped their boundaries, would punish said person, and apologize.

Silver says he's not gonna muffle his league on expression. Popovich is "thrilled" with that response. so am I.

Hey stand by your principles and culture. Just dont expect to take Chinese money with one hand and slap then with the other. I hope both sides stick to their guns. Never a more pathetic sight when someone deeply rooted in their principles cant stick to them.

I will say this though. LEAVE POLITICS OUT OF SPORTS. fuck. its great to have an opinion but wtf was the point of going on that platform and speaking on another countries ideology?? even if you're right, wtf was the point??

Ya man. That's all! Its arrogant and irresponsible.

And on queue now you have asshole republicans jumping in to shit on the nba and china. So because this fuckin idiot started it....dick heads like ted cruz now get a free pass to bring his shitty politics in and try to garner support for his and trumps phucurry!

We already know mfers like him would love for that nba money to go down so black players can be paid less. Lol.

They indirectly trying to knock food off of the black mans plate I can't cosign that at all. Yall NBA mfers better fix this shit, got on your knees and such that chinese dick, no worries, it probably wont even reach teeth.

Now it's coming out that a lot of the players wanted Morey punished on the grounds that if any player did some shit that would have cost the NBA money like that, they'd be punished. I love it. Capitalism first, thats what America is, the players are absolutely right!

Like i said, I pity my man Adam Silver, he cant win here.

It's juicy to me because an overlap of the liberal class and the self righteous conservative class are now going to converge on american nba players, mostly black, demanding that they bend the knee to 'human rights' and 'freedom' at the cost of self, which most of them were gung ho to do in referencing trump and Kaep, but now are gonna be forced to live up to that truth.

punished??





bunch of over paid lame ass faggots.

Ohhh they about to drag Lebron now....

"I dont think Morey was educated about the situation when he made that tweet."

Lebron sounds so dumb on this.

I dont think so. Whats going on in China is not some simple freedom vs tyranny battle, although the freedom touters on both end would present it as such to garner sympathy. If it was, Id agree with you. Lebron simply said simplying taking a side in a complex issue like this in a country of over 1 billion was bound to piss a lot of people off a negatively impact the nbas business.

And furthermore since when does America choose principle over money??? The same country that sells weapons and provides military support to some of the worse tyrannies in the world.....but the NBA is supposed to be the one walking point and setting the example to be followed???

Its an overtly ridiculous juxtaposition.
