There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

The NBA and NBAPA care about human rights for people who look like they do.

That's fine but they should at least be honest about it.

I think they care more about growing the business. I imagine that I or anyone that I've ever done business with can pass a purity test.

This is nothing more than ANOTHER attempt to diminish a fight that players are having about things that impact their communities.

"What about the genocide in Africa LeBron?"

I'm not trying to diminish anything.

I get why NBA players care more about what happens in black communities than what happens in China. Especially because China equals money. But you kind of forfeit any moral high ground when you do.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

So they aren't allowed to have an opinion on police brutality simply because they haven't spoken out against China.

NBA players can speak out about whatever they want.

One could argue that what is happening in China is objectively worse than what is happening here.

Regardless, I do not expect athletes or the NBA to serve as world police. I will not judge them for sitting out whichever battle they choose. As an American WASP, I can relate to sitting out fights that don't seem to directly affect me.

Uh...no they can't. China said so.

You are. You're saying unless they speak out about everything nothing that they say really matters. It's another version of, "If they did THIS, I would support them." None of us can spend our time fighting EVERY battle.

"one could argue"?

The Chinese government murders at least a few hundred thousand of their own people every year. Its not even comparable.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I Am A Man was an interesting one too.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Everyone that wears #40 should automatically get that one

Adam Silver is a better leader than the president. You know it's bad when Trumpets are trying to compare business decisions with the tweets, policies and statements of the president. Next they'll be comparing how NBA shutting down with the guidance of the Trump administration. As BeerFan used to say, you really can't make this shit up.

We all can. If we fail to mention something that doesn't take away from anything else that we do. Not speaking out about midget rights doesn't make you a monster or hypocrite.

That's from the Memphis strike. The Grizzlies crassly made a jersey out of it.

Shocked "Free Hong Kong" isn't an approved message....

I didn't reference Trump in any way you fucking moron.

Just. A. Business.

And sometimes players will criticize police once in awhile. The NBA is about as apolitical as you can get.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.
