Boogie makes Kings remove Chinese New Year"Year of the Monkey" shirts because of Black History Month

[PortCityProphet]

He went to Auburn. They teach c00nery in that shyt town

 

[RedBull]

The Year of the Monkey is for the Chinese, it has NOTHING to do with black people. What is he standing up to? His own ignorance?

You gotta get some fukkin perspective breh, everything you say you make it race related

Unfortunately most things ARE race related, it's the ignorance that runs this world.

How many Chinese nikkas play in the NBA tho?
Exactly.
This is blk history month, 85% of the leauge is blk....

California itself has a significant Chinese population and China is one of the biggest growing markets for basketball. It's not about the players but the people watching. Houston does it also with Chinese New Year jersey's because of the visibility Yao gave them to China.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

We ain't in China. fukk this year of the monkey bullshyt. The Chinese aren't celebrating black history month, so why the fukk are these players supposed to give a damn about Chinese New Year?

No players, no game... if the majority blk players dont feel comfortable, then take it down. Case closed.

This wasn't the majority though it was just Boogie. It'll be interesting to see how different teams' stars react to Year of the Monkey shirts though.

Lebron wouldn't take a stand like that

Lebron is not on top of that issue, he doesn't really have time for calendars like that

 

[LezJepzin]

even I didn't know he was outspoken on topics like this.

Good

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Y'all leave yellow thoughts alone......

I cousins for this. Most athletes wouldn't even stand up and say anything. Yeah yeah I know it is the Chinese new year......shyt I go to China every month.

But that shyt takes guts for Cousins to stand up on this and shows that these athletes and young black folks are more aware of shyt than we think.

Nah, this doesn't take guts. Not that I care about too much about CNY, but this is an ill-advised take of activism. There's no need for Boogie to take a stand against this.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

It's almost like y'all don't get how something that's completely unrelated could've been a huge PR gaffe for a league that somehow made one of it's biggest racists magically not exist in less than 2 years.

It also shows you just how many racially unaware whites work in the league, to not even realize just how epic of a fukk up that could've been

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

We ain't in China. fukk this year of the monkey bullshyt. The Chinese aren't celebrating black history month, so why the fukk are these players supposed to give a damn about Chinese New Year?

it's funny you used the Camby smiley.... China is a huge NBA market, because of Yao.

The NBA cares about the dollars Chinese fans bring in... giving them even more merchandise that's catered towards them is an easy money grab.

why did you think the NBA even made them special edition jerseys for the Rockets and Warriors?

 

[the cool]

its just chinese new year it aint that serious boogie


what if it was the year of the snake would lebron remove the shirts?

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

There's no need for Boogie to take a stand against this.

He should take a seat, and let Rajon lead the team like he did 2night

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Gay led the team tonight. Not Rondo. Clearly you never watched the game.
