"The National Basketball Association disgraced itself kowtowing to the Beijing regime after the general manager of the Houston Rockets, Daryl Morey, tweeted his support for Hong Kong protesters. The words he associated himself with — “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong” — would seem uncontroversial. Who doesn’t hope for the best for plucky demonstrators trying to advance democracy against an overweening imperial dictatorship?
Morey, though, failed to adequately account for the feelings of the dictatorship. “I was merely voicing one thought,” he said in a groveling tweet after deleting his original offending one, “based on one interpretation, of one complicated event. I have had a lot of opportunity since that tweet to hear and consider other perspectives.”
The “other perspectives” are those of people supporting a *regime that is determined to crush Hong Kong under foot, maintain a one-party state that stifles all internal dissent, brutally repress Uighur Muslims, grab the South China Sea, build up its military with an eye to a future confrontation with the United States and rewrite the rules of the international order to its liking."

Insiders say the NBA folded because it would hurt Nike and Adidas shoe sales to the Chinese market. Not because the Chinese do not have transgender bathrooms.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

What happened to all the Democrat human rights supporters and anti-capitalism ragers on this board? Hmmm.

What brave US company or organization that stands up to America is standing up to China?
Anyone, Bueller, Bueller....

If people don't see this as a serious threat, we are for a ride.
I suggest Continuum, think it is Netflix or Amazon Prime, for a good show about this very thing that is actually coming true. The show is probably 6 years old, but a modern show and not some boring 70s show.

I don’t think there are many sports fans on this board, or at least of the NBA.
But for a league that prides itself on being so progressive this is a really bad look. As a Warriors fan I know Steve Kerr is considered pretty woke and often tweeting and talking about issues (guns and Trump). Same thing, not a good look when he was asked about this and he feigned ignorance on the topic.

The whole Kaepernick thing was weird. You had folks both calling the NFL racist for blackballing Kaep while celebrating an increase in NFL ratings (because somehow it equated to being anti-Trump). How the hell do you celebrate higher ratings for a supposedly racist league?
And it’s truly amazing the firestorm this single tweet from Morely has caused. And a lot of previously woke NBA folks are now keeping their mouths shut because of money
What does that say about this country & what POWER THE CCP HAS OVER IT & the rest of the planet now??
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
