| fleaswatter Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 3 Posts: 1087 | The NBA doesn't seem to care when it's representatives trash the US but care when they make statements about China (Hong Kong) Ten times coaches and players got political before the NBA kowtowed to communist China NBA's response to China backlash at odds with league's history The NBA Forgot That It Has American Fans Too It's all about the money.

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Another one of those street scum killing street scum serial killers. An itinerant ex-boxer now serving life sentences in California roamed the country killing prostitutes and drug addicts (91 apparently) and now the cops and fbi are wasting time closing the books. He is old and feeble so now Texas taxpayers eill pay for his care rather than California taxpayers. Can't tthey find more important cases to work? |

China banning Winnie the pooh ROTFL Nice to see that the NBA understands free speech From Adam Silver “The long-held values of the NBA are to support freedom of expression and certainly freedom of expression by members of the NBA community, and in this case, Daryl Morey as the general manager of the Houston Rockets enjoys that right as one of our employees. What I also tried to suggest is I understand there are consequences from that exercise of, in essence, his freedom of speech and we'll have to live with those consequences. It’s our hope that for our Chinese fans and our partners in China they’ll see those remarks in the context of now a three-decade if not longer relationship.” Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I've never heard that as well. Kudos to the NBA supporting free speech. The United States is all about free speech. Supporting free speech is supporting the USA. Soldiers have died to insure our right to free speech. Free speech is as American as baseball “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Its a business Of course its about the money but The NBA still supports free speech Sure a lot of sponsors dropped out of last nites game in Shanghai The NBA lost money last nite as the floor was sanded to remove the sponsors names Bending the knee would be firing Morey and they are not doing that Cathay pacific bent the knee and fired a lot of HK supporters. The NBA is not firing anybody I think China overplayed their card. Still a sell out at last nights game in Shanghai No way NBA fans in Shanghai were going to miss seeing Lebron James live More people in China watched the finals then in the USA last year China is trying to cover up Hong Kong but by creating this NBA crisis, they are bringing attention to Hong Kong Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
