But we will trade LeBron James for a Pu Pu Platter.
NBA = CYA
Damage control?
“We said there’s no chance that’s happening,” Silver said. “There’s no chance we’ll even discipline him.”
But, we will ask our most popular superstar to make a public statement on your behalf. Hopefully, that will humiliate Morey sufficiently.
Will the laborers in the Nike factory be able to see it?
When you do business in China, literally everything is political. You will be the Chinese Communist Party’s prison byatch. There’s no way around it
LeBron seems to enjoy being China’s beotch.
Rumor has it, next Olympics, LeBron will play for China.
Trade poo poo for pu pu?
I don’t buy it for a second.
Wouldn’t it just be a hoot if China came out with a statement denying this.
If China had made tht request, the NBA would have done it.
Oh wow.... the NBA is so brave. They are real heroes and really care about people and human rights. Real paragons of virtue. They deserve a medal. Silver is a real stud. A man’s man. Oozes masculinity. A mensch. People love and respect his tireless bravery and impeccable virtue. The man is beyond reproach. A real American.
I don't follow pro basket ball.
Or any basketball, for that matter.
Utterly boring game.
Having said that, I am aware of the on-going controversy and judging from all I've heard, it is my personal opinion that Mr. Silver is full of crap.
I have no doubt that he is speaking out of both sides of his ignorant mouth.
Revenge will be extracted for the Chicoms by this guy...we just won't know it or hear of it.
And I still won't be impressed by Lebrown Jemes, or Nike, or any of the crap associated with pro basket ball, to include the outrageous prices charged for the slave labor-made shoes they use and sell to a gullible, stupid, primarily black thug audience.
That's my say...and I don't care if anyone likes it.
Yep.
NYT needs to give the NBA some cover. They know that the American public and even NBA fans won’t kowtow to China at least right now.
Now if NYT felt that America was ready to accept Chinese hegemony, they would be out there cheering the commies.
The NYT takes the LSE, Fabian socialist approach; just shift the Overton window a little bit towards totalitarianism without going too far too fast.
Nothing gets into that paper by accident. They always have their agenda and they are more sophisticated than wapo or the dumbed down cable outlets.
Agree!!
The NBA despises Donald J. Trump, but cowtows to a a genocidal regime that has murdered 65 million of its own citizens, still enslaves people in sweatshops, and executes workers who don’tmake their quota of Nike shoes.
Very good!
NBA = Scum
