"What offensive nonsense," Hawley wrote in the open letter. "No amount of profit can justify collaborating with a regime for which violent suppression and enslavement are routine tools of governance."

NBA’s apology to Beijing after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey expressed support for the Hong Kong protests:

Instead of backing Morey, NBA commissioner Adam Silver “chose to apologize to the CCP.”

Adrian Wojnarowski has such an impressive vocabulary.

You know you’ve got a problem when half the country doesn’t recognize blatant hypocrisy.

Exodus 23:8 "And you shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just.
Deuteronomy 27:25 Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.' And all the people shall say,' Amen.'
Proverbs 17:23 A wicked man receives a bribe from the bosom To pervert the ways of justice.
Ecclesiastes 7:7 For oppression makes a wise man mad, And a bribe corrupts the heart.
Isaiah 1:23 Your rulers are rebels, And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe, And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them.

ESPN (owned by Disney) is heavily heavily invested in the NBA through a multi-billion dollar contract for broadcast rights. This also feeds all the secondary coverage on Sportscenter and the talk shows. If the NBA goes down, so does the NBA. Which would be fine with me....

Way back in the day I used to watched The Sports Reporters hosted by Dick Schaap on Sunday mornings. But it eventually devolved into a political show and I could not abide that dweeb Mike Lupica. It's a microcosm of what has happened to ESPN in general. Remember that race baiter Jemele Hill?!

Senator Hawley should push legislation requiring ala carte channel choice on cable and satellite. That way millions of individual customers could cut off ESPN/ABC/Disney from their $9 per customer fee and the sports leagues and players would get that much less money too.

China owns a lot of people in media, sports, and swamp creastures in DC and various states. Gruesome Newsome for instance. Creatures of the CCP.

NBA is a disgrace anyway.

College basketball is the only basketball anyone should watch.

And even that is being usurped.

Adrian Wojnarowski would be fired on the spot if he had sent the same to UpChuck.

One of the things I wished Trump had done early on was point out the hypocrisy of companies like Nike.

You know how the Left always call the oil companies greedy, but here is Nike who makes fat profits selling shoes produced by slave labor in the Indo-China peninsula and sells them to mostly black inner-city kids who will shoot and kill over them.

If Trump had just said, "Nike should be making these shoes in Chicago and giving underskilled black people a fair wage," the election would be friggin' over already and Biden would have turned into a Mummy.

Hell, not just Trump, but ALL Republicans should have been pounding this point home.
