Woke NBA coach Steve Kerr: Lemme get back to you on this whole “China violating human rights” thing
Hot Air ^ | October 8, 2019 | Allahpundit

It is passing strange that this outspoken figure, normally so willing and able to comment on injustices in the United States, has no thoughts whatsoever on Hong Kong’s uprising. He was asked for comment last night and … total blank:

It’s not as if Kerr doesn’t keep up on current events, or as if western media hasn’t covered Hong Kong, or as if the NBA has no presence in China that might make major political developments there of some interest to him.

Somehow this issue ended up in his blind spot.

Does he have any thoughts generally about how China does or doesn’t respect human rights? For instance, here’s a wacky fact that I didn’t know until today but which Kerr, an NBA coach, might be aware of. Not only does the NBA have a cozy relationship with Chinese totalitarians, it’s so cozy that the league operates a training center in Xinjiang province — the same place where China is interning millions of Uighur Muslims. That’s a bit like staging a hoops barnstorming tour of Poland circa 1944.

Yesterday, Commissioner Adam Silver called the NBA a "values-based organization." I think he means the dollar values of its franchises.

Kerr never fails to pop off about gun control, Trump, climate change, illegals, but Chinese human rights violations...crickets. Hypocrite.

Trey and Matt pretty much explained what is happening in the most recent South Park episode. They have put it online and it is titled “China Banned”.

A pussy and a hypocrite. The entire NBA is. Daryl Morey has performed an incredible service, whether intentionally or not, of exposing the NBA as a bunch of wimpy posers.

I stopped watching professional sports a looong time ago. I’m not going to be a part of or insulted by a bunch of anti American Aholes and commies. That is all.

The NBA cares about dollars, not human lives. They are an American company that should tell China to pound sand.

Steve Kerr is a two-faced douche bag with situational morals.

What’s a few dissidents butchered to sell their organs against real problems like somebody calling a tranny “a man in a dress?”

Muslims murdered Steve Kerr’s father in Beirut. Steve Kerr is an America-hating idiot.

The professional sports teams got woke and are starting down the road to broke. Look at NFL and major league baseball stadiums, there are thousands of empty seats at most games. They turned their back on patriotic Americans over the age of 30 and sucked up to liberal snowflakes who don’t watch sports. That was great marketing by such geniuses who were handed gold mines. Now they suck up to china because they are losing American fans.

But the NBA sure got their panties in a wad over North Carolina ban on gender bender bathrooms. And then the whole state of California banning public employee travel to non-woke states. I bet they don’t have any problem sending their trade delegations to the kand of China
