Kerr compares Chinese human-rights abuses to U.S. mass shootings

President Trump took another jab at the NBA’s Steve Kerr after the coach known for his outspoken liberal political views refused again to comment on the controversy over China roiling the league.

Mr. Trump said the Golden State Warriors coach looked “weak and pathetic” in answering questions from reporters about the NBA’s response to Chinese retaliation over a tweet in support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.

“So funny to watch Steve Kerr grovel and pander when asked a simple question about China. He chocked [sic], and looks weak and pathetic. Don’t want him at the White House!” tweeted Mr. Trump on Friday.

All of Trump’s targets are already rotten to the core. He just gives them a push, and they collapse due to their own hypocrisy

And there are no bigger hypocrites than the NBA. They are “woke” in the USA and sell black victimhood in the USA because its a low-risk, highly profitable venture - but one slap from China, and the NBA can’t apologize or grovel fast enough

NBA fellow travelers Kerr and Popovich have always had a soft spot for commie thug regimes.

That’s why I hate the Spurs. Their mayor is a commie ass and so’s the coach.

Steve Kerr is a product of a University of Arizona education which program deteriorated over time. No surprise here.

The entire NBA situation reminds me of an old joke:

An old man walks up to a young lady at a party and says, “would you sleep with me for a million dollars?”

She says, “sure.”

The then says, “how about for $20?”

Upset she says, “hey, what kind of a girl do you think I am?”

He replies, “Oh we’ve already established that, now we’re just haggling about price!”

We’ve already established what the NBA has become, and in this case we even know the price.”

You should live here and have to listen to people go on about both of them. I cancelled my tickets back in the 90’s and never looked back.

Steve Kerr hit some really important clutch shots for the Bulls during their championship years, and as a Bulls fan, I am grateful to him for the happiness those events brought into my life at the time.

That said, there are many, many, many neighborhoods in Chicago that have been decimated by the loss of blue collar jobs to China. These are the neighborhoods that lived and breathed ‘The Bears’, and Michael Jordan's Bulls teams. They are also the neighborhoods that sent fans to the old Comiskey and to Wrigley, during all those dark years when there were was no post-season play, and only late season disappointment.

For him to ignore them, and more importantly in the present, to ignore those who want to keep their freedom in Hong Kong, is very, very sad - at best.

Kurr is a piss poor excuse for a man or an American man. The NBA is a perfect example of corporate communism that is an advance guard of the Chicom military.

Has the President made any comment in support of the rioters in Hong Kong? Has the State Department taken a position?

Looks more like allowing Ireland to try to decide which side of the fence they sit on and let them bang their heads against the wall to help overall UK relations along...Brexit is a done deal and less than 3 weeks away.

Ireland or Northern Ireland? Ireland is staying in the EU and Northern Ireland wants it both ways, which may not be workable. especially since the EU wants to use NI to keep the UK from every actually fully exiting.

True - he’s letting them have their say but Brexit is happening...Ireland has gone downhill for a while and North Ireland wants to hedge her bets - probably not much going to change in the big picture by letting them spend 48 hours hollering at each other....they can make deals with Britain once things become “settled” but I would imagine they will have to accede to Britain more than the other way around.
