The NBA should get the fuck out of China.

THe NBA has never given two fucks about anything beyond keeping the money rolling in. The same can be said for any corporation.
How thoughtless of Morey thinking about and supporting people fighting to retain their limited freedom and not considering all the $$$ the NBA and players might loose for his utter disregard to all the corporate money that might be lost. How does this guy sleep at night thinking these billionaires have lost a few…
This is a shockingly weak take on LeBron selling out millions of people demanding freedom so that he can market “Space Jam 2" to China.
Fuck that. Lebron is concerned about money, as is the NBA, and your tone seems to agree with him. Who was going to get “spiritually harmed” by a tweet expressing solidarity with protestors?
His response amounts to “don’t advocate for democracy until you can be sure it won’t cost anyone anything.”
How socially conscious of The Root! Yes let’s hope that the NBA and China sort it all out so we can keep watching millionaire athletes throw balls through hoops on schedule, enriching their white owners and themselves.
Very stupid for Lebron to make these comments. this reeks of being ignorant and out of touch. Super entitled comment to make.
He didn’t have to say shit about a narrative that didn’t involve him.
he sounded like the equivalent of a kid who didn’t read the book so his book report was a word salad summary using lots of empty adjectives/adverbs to fill in the space. and he has the nerve to call someone else “uneducated/misinformed.” fucking idiot.
Basically what he meant to say was: "y'all out here trying to hurt my pockets, and also ruined my trip to China!"
So since Morey was uneducated, is LeBron suggesting he gets...re-educated? Maybe in a camp setting?
“Chinese people buy sneakers, too.”
At home in the US, I’m a public defender, and I protest and advocate against police brutality. The police brutality in HK uses many of the same excuses that law enforcement here to justify their own escalations of violence against the people they’re sworn to protect (I used to work in human rights re: China). It’s…
Posting that tweet was a bad Decision™️
“My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it.”

“BUT IT WAS ONLY OFFSIDES BY A FEW CENTIMETERS AND HE ONLY LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE BALL WITH HIS ARM!”
I wonder if Billy would be this upset if the call that happened against Man City had instead come in a Everton/Crystal Palace match.
