Hundreds of demonstrators wearing “Stand With Hong Kong” T-shirts attended an NBA game Friday night in Brooklyn to protest the league and show support for Chinese pro-democracy activists.

Producer and activist Andrew Duncan bought 300 tickets for protesters to attend the Brooklyn Nets game against the Toronto Raptors, according to reporter Yashar Ali.

Damn. Look at all of the empty seats around the Hong Kong protesters. Apparently the NBA has set their ticket prices far to high for how much they have been pissing off the fans.

I think it's sweet. See the BIG MOUTH basketball players shoot their mouths off.

Better for them to shoot baskets...cuz that's what the DO BEST...and KEEP THEIR BIG FAT MOUTHS SHUT.

I’m glad to see this. Those Hong Kong supporters would get the stuffing beaten out of them, were they actually in Hong Kong. Asian fighting Asian. Sad and wasteful.
I hope one day, China will have a leader who allows Hong Kong and even Taiwan to exist without any further harassment.

Kind of hard to throw out 300 people.

THE NBA did manage to throw a few protesters out of a game when the controversy first happened.

The British (had they spines) would have left Hong Kong like Taiwan and departed suddenly. Allowing the people who had long contributed much to their empire a fighting chance at securing their own destiny.

LOL! Excellent point.

SOMEone is telling them that they ought to "express themselves." Whoever that "someone" is should be forced to give Hitlery a foot rub then kiss Kamala Harris on the lips.

SHUDDER!!

Yep. The wealth, arrogance, stupidity, and insolence of the likes of Lebron James and others in the league, and reporters seem to justify their position. Nonsense. Why does wealth suddenly give you a podium to mouth off your idiocy and obliviousness to truth?

as long as they bought hyper-inflated tickets the NBA and their overlords couldn’t care less what kind of shirts they were wearing. Just as long as the facial photos were sent to the proper commission in Peking that is.

People say “How horrible that Americans owned slaves before the civil war! How could people DO that?”

Well, people found they could make big money, ......so they looked away.

Just like LeBron James.
