stick a fork in the NBA, they're officially done now...And I don't think they can "come back" either

The NBA Commissioner is scrambling right now, trying to get rid of any and all BLM and political messaging from his league, as the entire bottom begins falling out of the National Basketball Association.

So, what’s happened to the King James NBA? Well, for starters, LeBron has absolutely destroyed it, top-to-bottom and inside out.

LeBron James has proudly and arrogantly led the NBA down the doomed SJW path, not giving a damn what the fans, who pay his salary, thought about it.

Once again, US organizations and corporations read the room wrong and jumped into full “BLM” support after the death of George Floyd, not considering for one moment that 1) Americans don’t need social justice or politics in their sports ever and 2) Americans can feel bad about George Floyd without supporting Marxist BLM.

These companies and sports franchises will learn the very hard and painful way that just because a small but very loud mob supports social justice and progressive politics, doesn’t mean the silent majority does. And it looks like school is already in session...

Frankly, pro basketball sucks. It's a bunch of pampered America-hating racists dogging it up and down the court, taking ridiculous shots to build their stats while flogging their crappy, Chinese slave-made sneakers to the goggling rubes.

College basketball is much more entertaining and there are still many fine coaches who teach and coach these kids in how to be a decent human being, not just a future pro player.

The best player in the NBA is Luka Doncic, a Euro.

In other words, if they were going for sex appeal, this ad is a dud.


You are not mainland Han Chinese; Chinese women have a totally different idea about what a man should look like and what has sex appeal. To those women the ad is a winner. You are a laowhy and count for nothing.

No mainland Han Chinese women would would ever pick a black man for anything, especially not one with toilet paper, blood and shaving cream all over his face.

How can they even think of such a contract when ratings are cratering, the advertisers will not foot the bill for that kind of contract increase.

I don’t think China was the biggest rigger of the election at all—though they certainly pitched in.

Populations
USA = 332 million
China = 1.364 billion

While US ratings are in the crapper they are booming overseas. And the chicoms are more than happy to have the US taxpayers pay the costs for putting on these games!

They did it to themselves!

Three Steps to Human Destruction:

1) Willful Self-Determination
2) Wicked Self-Deception
3) Woeful Self-Destruction

They determined their politics mattered more than the people who pay them, got arrogant about it and now are reaping what they have sown.

Boo effing hoo, the ultra rich ball players got played.

Welcome to reality, but have they learned anything yet???

Or are they still being played while playing politics, instead of what they are getting paid to play?

Me: China: methods, means, money, motive - existential threat to CCP. All domestic and foreign powers that are threats to the CCP must either be co-opted or destroyed. Has penetrated all walks of American life, corporations, and military.

You: Soros et al: money launderer, currency manipulator, loves socialism, compared financially to the CPP - he is impoverished.

Yup!

Along with Partridge Family memories!

It’s really not an either/or. That’s an old way of looking at it that they’d like you to stick with.

Never said either or, just gave the two most prevalent explanations.

You obviously have no idea what the CCP really is or what its intentions are if you imagine what I wrote about the CCP is old. It isn’t; you are just an ignorant western laowhy with no Chinese history or culture in your mind.

MJ played a long time ago. The NBA was more popular then among Americans. Now the audience is worldwide. They’ve told Americans FU and they’re getting a big media deal after that.
The sports business world isn’t what it used to be.
