James as the NBA version of the Kneeler-except he’s kowtowing.

[rfp1234]

They had slain the Earl of Morey
And laid him on the green...

[rfp1234]

Only if the brain has been removed.

[ealgeone]

Too late.

[a little elbow grease]

lol

Fertitta will get rid of this guy, he will just let things cool down then do it really quiet, and the sports media will hardly say a word about it when it happens, keep it on the down low as they say.

[Abathar]

"That's my say...and I don't care if anyone likes it."

Abathar slowly raises his hand mutering "I do" while sheepishly looking around...

Note to the league...

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

[mewzilla]

Great idea, but the creator should the player kowtowing.

What LeBron's message served to do is make it very clear that he's sold himself into slavery. Rich and famous black athletes and movie stars have been bought off to control their populations. The silver lining might be that young people who look up to him start realizing that this modern day form of slavery, now with top-tier Chinese being their masters. It's the very definition of an Uncle Tom.

elite black movie starts and athletes have been bought off to control those populations. That's the very defition of being an "Uncle Tom".

Don’t forget Walter Duranty, NY Times reporter who helped the Soviet Union hide the Holodomor.

Free Hong Kong!

[ScottinVA]

I’ll trade him for a rusty tin can.

..and an old hurlin' ball.

Note to everyone calling Trump a dictator:

This is what actual dictatorships look like.

[pilgrim]

Yep!

Not sure why but when photos of Adam Silver and ‘certain congresscritters’ pop up, in my mind can VIVIDLY see them dressed a Nazi officers!

Think I am going ‘bonkers’!!!!!!!! LOL!!!

[Mr. Jeeves]

I do remember Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Chris Mullin.

That was a very different league. Since Michael Jordan's departure, it has been all downhill.

[cdcdawg]

Upon hearing this news, Lebron flopped to the floor and began looking for a call.

[gcparent]

Yes and that’s why the NBA is of no interest to me. Not surprised at all about their recent actions. It’s all about the stupid shoes. Screw LeBron James and company.

[SunkenCiv]

It's almost as if the NBA *wants* to derail President Trump's trade negotiations, but that can't be it.

Elizabeth Becker Cambodia and Khmer Rouge Collection, 1970-1988 PDF. Communist influence at the NYT goes back to Adolph Ochs and a young Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who later turned anti-Communist. The American Newspaper Guild and SISS tried to purge Communists from the NYT in the 1940s and 1950s. At the Washington Post, Communist influence goes back to Philip Graham, who worked for Felix Frankfurter's Soviet spy ring in WWII before becoming the CIA's mouthpiece in the newspaper industry during the Cold War. J. Edgar Hoover once said that he was happy whenever the NYT or WP criticized the FBI, and if they ever praised him, he would order an investigation to find out what had gone wrong.
