ESPN is worried about pissing off Tencent, the massive Chinese internet company that it struck a deal with in 2016.

At this rate, the only thing that can stop Zion is a pro-Hong Kong tweet!

If the NBA fandom suddenly switched from left-leaning millennials to right-leaning boomers, LeBron, Pop and Kerr would all be told to shut up immediately. The market drives what personality they let their actors take. Anybody who thinks the NBA is “better” than any other league morally is either being intentionally…

China: [fires Rockets]

No surprise that Tillman Frittata only cares about collecting more eggs.

I’m sure the million ethnic Muslim Ugyhurs residing in the Xinjiang re-education camps will be happy to hear about the NBA’s commitment to Chinese fans as they assemble for their 5 a.m. re-education seminar. It will make their morning rice gruel taste so much sweeter.

$5M to go away (assuming he gets paid out for his 2020 deal) AND he doesn’t have to continue with that dumpster fire of an organization?

Sounds like a pretty good way to start the week.

5am? My Lord that’s early. I can just picture Snyder there in his office, across from a barely awake Gruden, stirring his coffee with a sleeve of gatorade cups.

Once again I curse the fact that this awesome dude is playing for the effing Texans, who are operated by a coach who seems to believe an O-Line is an optional part of the team.

I dont think ive heard heard a more helpful answer from an athlete in the history of sports. he has a future as a tv analyst

Supporting the status quo is literally taking a conservative position.

Not that this idea is new or anything, but one more time for the people in the back: stating that you are not / don’t want to be political is very much taking a political position.

Fertitta did not say whether he speaks for the Houston Rockets when he calls the Bushes the most “extraordinary political family” in American history, says Donald Trump is doing “a great job,” harps about having to give his employees healthcare, harps again about the minimum wage, says socialism “scares the hell” out…

Posted this on a similar story.  People need to understand this in their bones.

Right now, the only thing SI seems to have over everything else is something something SI BRAND VALUE...which seems to run completely counter to the proposed concept of pushing for clickbaity garbage.

They would be expected to post three “news videos” per day to their site—they were to wear Maven polo shirts in these videos—as well as hundreds of posts per month. The message was clear: Quantity over quality. Prospective Maven “partners” were told by company execs that if they had trouble creating enough content,…

This is all terribly depressing but can we talk about how overly reliant these chuds are on using a pyramid in their diagrams. I know that as a real life not-very-successful business person, the first fucking thing I think of when I see a pyramid during a business presentation is, “oh these assholes are building a…

Always love plans that are literally based on the scheme of a pyramid.

Not Paul Lukas!
