Chinese fans angry at Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey for supporting Hong Kong

[#1 pick]

I don't give a fukk about "sounding white". People in the black community are scared to sound white and that's part of why we're not making enough progress.

Bruh.....you arent going to meet any of these people.....who are you fronting on the internet so hard for?

Myself, I guess.

People don't have integrity, but I need to prove that I do. It's not easy arguing with y'all about this, you know. It's a strong hive mind here, I know what I'm typing is controversial, and also, I have a government test in a few minutes. But I'm doing it anyway because this is what I want people like Lebron to do. Speak up, even when it's hard, annoying, and seemingly insignificant.

Thanks for helping me realize that.

Nah the stakes are too high. If you leave your lane, and start playing the finger pointing game...then don't be surprised when the fingers start to point back at you. There's plenty that the Chinese and other countries could criticize in return. Do they really want to go there?

The NBA is built to entertain basketball fans...it isn't built to engage in diplomacy and foreign relations.

Shame you got to explain this.

This is their chance to make history, but they should stay silent and keep collecting checks if they want.

For example, I like Bron, and I understand that he's done a lot of our community, but I have to wonder what he's actually thinking in his silence. Is he thinking, 'I only really care about black issues, so whatever," the way you guys think he is, or is it more like, "if I say something, these Nike cacs are gonna be on my ass"? I'm more inclined to think it's the latter.

We can't read minds, so no one knows for sure, but I will say for now: if you've been using your platform up to this point to advance "wokeness", but you won't talk about China, you're most likely a coward and a fraud.

Coward might be too strong imo but compromised at the minimum is fair

I wonder did Adam Silver make a phone call to other NBA owners about dont say anything stupid about this situation

Of course he did. I'm sure the entire league is muzzled right now and proabably for the foreseeable future. Plus I bet every owner had a talk to their GM's, coaches, facility, etc. on some, "Don't ever tweet out or say anything political while you're employed here".

 

[Originalman]

Say what? Breh I almost fell out my chair....if that aint some shyt Bill O'Reilly would say..wow

 

[SadimirPutin]

at Marco Rubio throwing shots. Wouldn't fight for those kids that got massacred in Parkland but yeah he's a man of the people

If y'all can't see the agenda & hypocrisy in a lot of these people I don't know what to tell you.

Bet they wouldnt dare ask Jeanie Buss, Steve Ballmer who is also a big microsoft shareholder which does business in china, or any team owner to spearhead this sudden gusto for human rights

None of these people care for human rights when they are typing on their Chinese manufactured goods

Imagine a white man telling a black guy that he should shut up about corrupt police in a country he lives in because he wont speak on the actions of protesters in a country he doesnt have citizenship in, doesnt speak the language while on a business trip due to the actions caused by a WHITE GM of a team he doesnt play for

AND THEN BE A BLACK MAN WHO GETS ON THE INTERNET AND SAYS YEA MAN I AGREE WITH THOSE WHITE DUDES PUSHING THAT AGENDA

They definitely making the drugs way too strong.

Where does this belief that rich black people are somehow immune from the cloak of white supremacy in America?

Lebron is just 2 years removed from having racist grafitti sprayed on his property

James grew up in fairly rough circumstances like many other black guys in America...

If he ever found himself hemmed up the media and law would gladly make an example of him

Absolutely. No one said he's immune though

I can't believe I just read what he said on thecoli in 2019. I thought we purged all of the 4cac trolls

I'm always baffled at how Chinese people living in China know that their government is supremely corrupt and don't speak on it openly but still represent their country so hard henever they're under verbal attack. Tbh i didn't even know the censorship was that bad, I try to stay out the place, maybe quick trips across the border to Shenzhen once in a blue moon. Right now though, fukk that.
Btw which VPN do you recommend? Totally not a commie spy question:oggordonliu:

lol at my job we use a VPN that directs us to the US and to india.

When I am at the hotel I just use their wifi...but all that shyt be censored. When I use the wifi at the hotel I can't even see most of the videos and sites the coli posts in threads.

Every once in a while I can get youtube to work. But you can watch a video or maybe 2 and then that shyt gets black out....same with porn sites...

Might have already been posted, I only checked the last couple pages but this is kinda heavy.

Some Teams Project 10-15 Percent Cap Drop If NBA Loses China Business

At least five teams are having their salary cap personnel prepare for a scenario in which the cap for the 20-21 season could drop between 10 and 15 percent due to the NBA's situation with China, sources tell Keith Smith of Yahoo! Sports.

"It's like the cap spike, but opposite,” a league source said. “After all the money everyone spent last summer, this would have a major impact on all of us."

The NBA recently released a projection of $116 million for the 20-21 season, which is $7 million higher than the $109 million mark for 19-20.

Teams internally plan for a variety of scenarios, but a 10 to 15 percent drop would be dramatic.

“I haven’t really been in this spot before. The cap has only gone up in recent years. It’s really different. I have to wonder if the league would be pressed to consider some measures to not drop the cap down so far from where we are today at $109 [million]. Otherwise, a bunch of us are over the tax. It’d be nice to know now, because that changes how we approach trades and everything else throughout the season.”

A number of teams could unexpectedly find themselves in the luxury tax due to the sudden drop in the cap.

10-15% dip in the expected cap would be crazy. China really has 'em like that.

same with porn sites...

Oh fukk no

 

[Originalman]

Yeah normally I would never say something like that because it sounds super racist but seriously their love for their country is dumb as hell. Like you said, a country that cares about its people wouldn't go around snatching up their property and would also allow them to access websites normally. My friend over there who regularly deals with government officials told me that all their elections are decided beforehand. Even the current head, xi jinping, fukked his main opponent up when it came election time and hundreds of his associates were fukking killed. You not gonna see this shyt online though

Wow didn't know that.

I mentioned on here before how the air quality is horrible shyt fukks my asthma up bad.

I have gone to the expat health clinics before and you will see it field with kids all with breathing problems due to the air quality. I would go in there and be like doc this air is horrible and fukking up my asthma. What the fukk is up with the air here this shyt trash.

Doctor would be like... lets not talk about the air quality...let me get you some steroids and an inhaler.

 

[Originalman]

Oh fukk no

Breh you try to see the latest pinky or bangbros videos and that shyt blacked out...

Go on xvideos or vporn to see some fat booty sista and the video don't work. Now you got to go to some obscure site. That would load a video in 30 seconds in america. But it takes 45 minutes to load in china...
