But then again, the NBA doesn’t make nearly as much money off Ukraine.
So, Silver’s after the fact grandstanding about suffering the financial cost for free speech is worth as much as any social justice messaging from his league, which is to say it is worth nothing.
GOOD!
As far as I’m concerned the NBA should go broke and disband...
Or just all move to China and be blackened out to the US, since they love each other so much.
What is the NBA going to do when Americans eventually get around to the fact that the Chinese are, not our friends? Even now, while they’re making money off the Chinese, the Chinese are exporting poison that’s killing millions of Americans, exporting cheap goods that are undermining American markets, and buying oil from Russia to support the war in the Ukraine, even while we are foolishly sending Ukraine weapons to fight Russia.We are playing all sides, eventually this will have to be resolved.
It was not a coincidence this was released on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square.
If the NBA went broke and out of business tomorrow, I’d never know unless someone posted it here.
Silver can blame other factors like a guys “tweet”, but the NBA product sucks. It’s not exciting, no personality, very little appeal. The 70’s-90’s were fun, then it just stopped being fun and too political.
They’ve also quietly backpedaled from all the kneeling/Black Lives Matter/in your face leftist political stuff after they lost a lot of TV viewers.
I imposed an NBA blackout in my home years ago.
Thug ball.
