Cancel the NBA

[Goodthinkful]

This is disgusting...

All that political posturing in the last couple of months and this was going on. The NBA bent over backwards to apologize to China last October.

Uighur Lives Matter.

 

[Jimmy Green Beans]

I will never watch another NBA game until Lebron retires AND the league repudiates communist.

 

[tiger orange]

NBA should just go away altogether.

Lololololol. You aren't joking huh?

Actually all lives matter. That you would suggest Uighur lives need more attention is obnoxious

I loved the NBA in the 80's and 90's but now its on the same level as the Dixie Chicks

I'll just continue to not care what a sports league or athlete says/does politically and enjoy the product they put out.

It seems like way too much work to be angry and offended by political posturing from anyone, especially an entertainment figure/entity.

I honestly just can't imagine going through life making decisions about my shopping and entertainment based so much on politics.

And I literally work in politics.

Need to put Hong Kong matters on center court. Yeah right. Typical libs. Do as i say not as i do. The party of tolerance unless u disagree with them, then its ok to riot (i mean protest).

I'm sorry. Is the hypocrisy of the NBA somehow the democratic party's fault?

****ing yikes.

I sometimes wonder if ... say a black CLEMSON QB (and let’s say he was really good and led us a Natty and chose to kneel or something), if our fan base would be so adamant about not watching games anymore. Or does it only apply when it only fits the narrative you want it to fit/agenda

No, but its typical of liberalism.

They were using slave labor to produce their product. The political stances just further illustrate their hypocrisy. This is despicable regardless of your feelings about BLM stuff.

I thought Nike was doing that? Don't know how the NBA used slave labor to play basketball. (This was incorrect...I have since read the article. It's terrible what they did but still...)

Call me dangerously apathetic if you will, but there is so much more important in my life to worry about that if I can sit down and be entertained by sports, I'm not gonna worry or get my hackles up about what's behind the curtain.

You did not read the article...

Correct, and I just did now. That is not good. I'm glad it has come to light. But it still isn't going to stop me from watching it.

 

[Trading Tiger]

Isn't it a well known fact that only commies watch pro basketball?

 

[casellers84]

The NBA has been the most progressive and responsive sports league in regards to equality and fair treatment of minorities. I cannot understand why they would get so deeply involved with a country with such a horrific record of human rights abuse.

 

[iceheart08]

No, but its typical of liberalism.

No it's not..it's typical for people who care more about money than anything else.

 

[DW4_2016]

No, but its typical of liberalism.

at least OAN said so, right?

 

[tgrharley]

Lololololol. You aren't joking huh?

Why is this funny to you? The NBA made a deal with a Communist regime that suppresses dissent and anyone that doesn't toe the party line for $$$$. You know sorta like the way your party tries to do in this country. And you think it's funny? When exactly did you become a disciple of Mao? Was it in your childhood or were you indoctrinated over time? Holy shit you are stupid

 

[ChicagoTiger85]

These guys only care about money, despite the glomming onto the hot social issues of the day. If they faced money problems because of the other stuff they were saying, they wouldn’t be saying that either.

NBA is a shitty product the political stuff is icing on the cake.

 

[jimbob1019]

Lololololol. You aren't joking huh?

I feel the same way...

Once upon a time, the NBA was a great league...but as usual, liberalism ruined it. And LeBron's clueless ass has pretty much put the final stake in it...

Are you going to also stop buying all Chinese goods and supporting any companies that have major presences in China? If not, you're just playing political "gotcha", and it's real fvckin' tiresome out of some of you people. You don't care about this, you just want to stick it to the NBA because their black players have the unmitigated gall to want to improve black life in America. Take your weak sh!t somewhere else.

[FreeSC]

I refuse to buy products from companies that support limiting 2nd Amendment rights, support organizations led by Marxists (like BLM), or support division.
I will not in any way help my enemies.

NBA was great in the 80s. Complete and utter garbage now. Won't watch a second of it

I’ve made a deliberate effort in the past couple years to avoid buying anything Chinese, and I’m glad to see others jumping on board. So, no, at least on my part, it’s not political “gotcha”

If you’re going to commit so much zeal and angst toward “black lives”, but continue to support and openly defend a country that commits the human rights atrocities that China commits, im going to call you a huge hypocrite and a tell you you’re FOS

So take your weak shít and shove it up your ass

Never watched OAN. Not even sure DISH carries it.

I form my own opinions by what i see and what ive experienced.

Ironic coming from a Manchester United fan.

NBA hate threads are a telling and weird place.
