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...

If we had political leadership (rather than a geriatric Turtle) we'd be taking credit for this ratings tumble, after all WE DID CAUSE IT!

Only Donald Trump had the guts to denounce both MLB and the MBA.

Actually the Party members who own smallish clothing stores in China are doing quite well ever since the big names came out publicly against using forced labor.

Chinese CCP activists buy up huge amounts of big name clothing and other goods, then destroy all of it. The Chinese public sees this and avoids big name apparel and products. Chinese CCP members grow richer.

Chinese CCP members buy large lots of slave labor on the exchanges to work their cotton farms, which sell to small apparel makers owned by CCP members, who sell to small apparel shops CCP members.

CCP members grow ever richer chasing the number one obsession in China: money.

Moral: if you are not Han Chinese you are undesirable and disposable, especially a despicable laowhy like the black guy, who gets replaced by a real man, a Han Chinese.

I don’t know that much about it but I like bowling.

And now, there is the Bowling Bob Ross! LOL

I have lost interest in keeping up with my horse racing since the jockeys wear BLM on their pants (even as fully openly armed thugs of NFAC were outside intimidating the Derby day) and knelt at Belmont. Used to be racing kept out of all this crap.

I hope bowling keeps its mouth shut too.

China has funded BLM, Antifa, and rigged the 2020 election for the purpose of destroying America.

Fixed.

The last 2 minutes of a close NBA game will take 30 minutes plus to complete. At least that used to be the way it was when I last watched back in 2000.

That’s why I always think that if a team is fouled, they should just reset the clock instead of turning into a free-throw fest in the last two minutes. I believe that’s how it is in the International Rules.

So sad. Now Black/AAs only have football, Rap music, TV commercials, and drug dealing for career paths.

Can “prison” be considered a “career path”? I think so! Okay, so there is one more.

NOTE: NOT RACISS! Its called humor. It used to be LEGAL!

“Off color” was NOT a crime!

(How many Polacks does it take to change a light bulb? 3. One to hold the light bulb and two to turn the ladder.)

THE HORROR!

My father called it “kidding on the square” I think he picked that up in the UK waiting for D-Day. I LOVE British humour.

It’s sort of like the /s tag sometimes is. You meant it as humor, but it’s mostly TRUE!

I was thinking of the funniest joke I ever heard. Because it involves “race” and a stereotype, I can never repeat it again. While it is made up, impossible to actually happen, you might consider it (the stereotype part) “kidding on the square”.

VERY funny! Oh well, just another freedom (the freedom of speech) down the drain.

Yeah, but the US ad would have a black tranny fat chick, the black guy would be Asian, and the tide pod would turn the Asian into a raging dyke.

Pretty much like baseball; I love George Carlin’s take on the difference between baseball and football.

If LeBron James didn’t have basketball skills, he would be one of three things.....

(1) Selling drugs in the hood

(2) In prison or

(3) Dead.

Or maybe a combination of all three at some point in time.

I haven’t seen an NBA game since Michael Jordan’s last season with the Bulls.

He's really not very impressive as anything other than putting a ball in a hoop.

Here is my liberal apology..

To any Polish people that I “might” have offended, I apologize. /s

IT’S A JOKE!

Everyone gets to be the BUTT of some joke at some point in their lives. GROW A PAIR and just LAUGH. You’ll feel a lot better.

There is nothing in this article that points to the bottom falling out of the NBA. They need to feel more pain.

Imagine what would happen in the country if the NBA couldn’t remain solvent with player salaries due to lack of interest.

That would be the kill shot to al the corporate wokeness. We need a Battle Captain to pull it together and make it happen.

If it’s really that important, you can just look up the score in the morning.

I don’t even do that anymore.

Let China buy it. AND move the teams.

Move 20 teams to China. Leave 10 teams in USA. New York, New Jersey, Boston, Washington, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Chicago, Golden State, Sacramento and Atlanta. Championship will be played in Beijing.

The NBA can always leave the US and take their ball to China. China also supports BLM (burn, loot and murder).
