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...

Americans can feel bad about George Floyd

The only emotion I felt from the Floyd case was anger and dismay that once again America’s leftists, government and media combined to again stab America with a manufactured marxist struggle session.

But with their global growth, they’ll do okay.

They don't care about the heartland. But they do care about China. And China doesn't like BLM pandering. That's why they are reacting. It has nothing to do with people like us, it never does.

Bit ironic that the future of the NBA lies mostly in China. When it comes to Africans and blacks the Chinese have an incredibly hard time hiding their true feelings and opinions. Also the NBA will have a very difficult time extracting dollars out of China regardless how many people watch their games or buy their merchandise.

That exactly what I was thinking; let the Chinese buy the NBA and move all the franchises to Chinese cities. Within a month the players will be begging to come home to the US. The Chinese are the worst racists, they despise whites (”big noses” who smell like pork) and truly hate blacks.

China has funded BLM for the America-destroying purposes of pandering.

But they are also truly and successfully global—unlike the NFL, MLB, or the NHL.

Any companies that advertises on the NBA should be avoided. These advertisers who are still advertising on the MLB All-Star game or NBA are also funding BLM. Avoid them. The NBA asks these advertisers what to do to keep their money. And this is what we get.

Actually all you need to do is look at the final score and sparing yourself even the last 2 minutes

So what. This racists in the nba including james will just move to some other way to fleece people of their money.

PT Barnum said it best. A fool and his money are soon parted.

There are plenty of other cool sports that are much better than the big 3 (MLB,NFL, NBA)

I recently came across this chase tag sport. pretty cool

No crazy ego’s, and great sportsmanship from the players unlike MLB where pitchers intentionally beaning batters is now considered “part of the game”
and the NBA and NFL are basically zoo exhibitions

Proving the Chinese are actually white but with bridgeless noses and almond eyes.

At least that is what leftist think. Asians are just another kind of white to them.

China doesn’t like black people. I don’t mean the government, I mean the Chinese man in the street. Fact: In the most recent Star Wars movie Disney had to edit the black character off the posters just in China, as one example. Sports is different, they can enjoy black people running fast and jumping high but don’t want to hear them giving speeches about racism.
