Message: [QUOTE="longislandcuse, post: 3444029, member: 937"] The problem is the NBA made it a goal to expand in China. Its a major part of their branding and business model. It’s NBA-specific. Not NFL, not MLB, not NHL... NBA. They don’t have to own it, or speak up, but they deserve the criticism they get for not doing so. It’s a hard hit to take financially but if they truly cared about injustice, they wouldn’t profit off a government that oppresses their people to a level they will never understand living in America. We have our problems, we have to be better and we have people who we need to say “matter”, but we don’t have concentration camps and censorship by threat of death or imprisonment. They built an empire off blood money and want to be taken seriously in the social justice fight? I’m not trying to hear all that. I’ll view it individually, and some players I respect more than others, but the NBA as a whole... **** that noise. [/QUOTE]
