The NBA & China Hypocrisy

TL;DR:
- NBA Houston Rockets GM tweets support for Hong Kong Pro Democracy Protestors
- China gets offended and stops televising NBA preseason games and is planning on pulling several major sponsorships
- Several NBA team owners come out and apologize to China. A Chinese co founder of Ali Baba who part owns the Brooklyn Nets outright criticised the Rockets GM for his tweet
- NBA player James Harden outright apologizes to China and says he loves China, and other NBA players stay silent on the issue or plead ignorance (because of Chinese money from shoe deals and the Chinese market contributing to the NBA revenue)
- The NBA Commissioner (white guy) comes out and says they support free speech (and the Rockets GM's right to free speech), and won't control what their employees say
- White ex NBA player Andrew Bogut comes out and supports free speech also

Some comments:
- Interesting that Lebron James and other black NBA athletes (and black athletes in the NFL) are so active in voicing their opinions about American social issues (even as recently as the Californian bill they are trying to pass to get student athletes to be able to be paid), oppression, rights of minorities, and so on, but when it involves their money and bankroll, they stay silent or flat out apologize (it's all really just another example of people being interested in their own personal agenda and in-group, and it being more about who has power and who belongs to what class, rather than believing in a uniform set of values and morals that don't change)
- Especially interesting since China is an ethno state and communist country (good luck immigrating there or having freedom of speech at all, let alone as a minority)
- Also interesting that the Commissioner didn't back pedal altogether like the NBA owners and players. He supports free speech and freedom to express opinion, even in the face of a higher economic fall out from the Chinese situation. Would have been super easy for him to apologize and have the GM fired.

* This is not a race hate post. I support everyone as long as they are a decent person. It's more so one more example of social justice opinions and values conveniently changing for the right price when money, class and control is involved.

The NBA Commissioner (((white guy)))

Fixed.

1) Who cares about the NBA, it is nothing more than a bunch of tatted up, thugged out degenerates making millions for the billionaire team (((owners)))
2) As for China, they can do what the hell they want, but they are still the Jews of Asia and not to be trusted

I keep seeing this being said, but what exactly makes these guys degenerates? Because they have tattoos and are black? Compared to other sports, NBA athletes and ex-athletes are way less crime prone.

Sure they make millions but so do most major sports professionals. If your going to blame anyone, blame the people; people like seeing genetic anomalies competing on big stages.

Well, the NBA did launch a Social Justice platform over a year ago to promote Equality, Inclusion and Diversity garbage. It is a breeding ground for Clown World degenerates.

Some nba players say that team owners being called “owners” makes them feel like slaves

https://granitegrok.com/blog/2019/0...the-nba-dont-like-the-word-owners-cuz-slavery

I don’t necessary think that makes them degenerate but they are a bunch of whiny, out of touch dandies.

Oh, Lebron can’t breathe because of racism

Further proof that the NBA has become another extension of ClownTown!

911, if you have any evidence of China Uncensored being funded by the US Government then please present it. I like the guy's content and think he is organic so if there is any reason to believe he isn't then I would appreciate it. He also has an America Uncovered channel.

CC, I don't have foolproof evidence against them, just circumstantial items:

-Huge channel reach on YT, nearly 900k
-Neocon circles, as pointed out by another poster above
-Cleancut Langley vibe.

Furthermore, their talking points seem overly antagonistic.



My position on China:

-We should get tough on trade, and start reversing outsourcing to China with a strong national industrial policy, undoing the Globalists' policies of gutting our middle classes through outsourcing, which started out in the 1980s/90s. Trump is doing a good job here.

-We should acknowledge China's rise as a world power, concede some breathing room in their backyard and avoid escalating a growing economic rivalry into military conflict.

-We should work with them against the globalists' agenda, refuting the global warming scam and globohomo degeneracy, and working with them on other win-win agenda items.

Why does Steve Kerr deserve any little bit of slack, because he played at Arizona State and you like him? The guy typifies the modern day white liberal SJW douchebag. Constantly talks all tough about how awful and oppressive this country, this country where he and his fellow basketballers have made millions of dollars but then totally pussies out like the coward he is when asked to give his thoughts about China, says it's complicated and can't properly address it because he knows nothing about China. The guy is a fucking hypocrite of biblical proportions and he deserves all of the ridicule and some that he is receiving. Here he is in all his glory, stepping all over himself to explain why China doesn't deserve the same scorn he shows the USA.




Fucking asshole, Steve Kerr..


Doc, this might fall outside of your Overton Window, but here is the tl;dr of my post on Steve Kerr above:

The deep state assassinated Steve's father when he was a teenager.

We know this because Kay Griggs' husband was part of that operation, per her testimony posted above. I don't blame you for not knowing who Kay Griggs is, or for not being able to absorb her compelling personal testimony.

It took me several years of research to get a grasp of the nature of the deep state. I don't expect people who haven't walked that same path to be able to cut through the cognitive dissonance that the testimony of a Kay Griggs will generate.

As to the millions Steve Kerr has made in the NBA (where he established himself as one of the top coaches of all time), I am pretty sure that he would trade every damn penny he's made for the privilege of having his father back in his life for a few more decades. I can also see how someone who has gone through that experience could become very bitter about his country.

If Steve Kerr's dad was assassinated by the deep state, then he of all people should have sympathy for Trump's efforts in taking down the deep state. All I see with Steve Kerr is an overpaid SJW who craps all over America but has nothing to say about China's atrocities. He in fact is too cowardly to upset his Chinese masters for fear of losing his precious millions. How many fathers and sons have been tortured and killed by the Chinese deep state? If Kerr was any sort of a principled man like he sanctimoniously thinks he is, he would stand up for those people as well. Instead he stumbles, bumbles and obfuscates when questioned about China, choosing instead to blame Trump for the woes of the world. If this makes me too stupid to "appreciate" this douchebag the way you do 911 then call me stupid. My Overton Window ain't moving a millimeter for this cocksucker.

In China a significant percentage of people are employed to go on Social Media and bombard "wrong-thinkers" with corrective arguments.

They are government employees who spend their days telling people that "hey, I drive a taxi for a living and.." "I just came back from farming and.." AND it all suddenly made sense to me.. the CCP is really looking after us... it seems that the Party DOES know best.. etc. etc.

LOL. The U.S has given authority and funding for Israeli tech companies to do this to their very own American citizens.

Additionally in Israel they employ all kinds from university students and trained professionals in online war centres to fight for Zionism. Probably comes out of that 30 odd billion uncle Sam sends them annually.
That's not even including every dedicated Jew with a keyboard internationally. I would bet my life we have some working this very forum.

Lol. I just watched this thing for the first time. Trump took Steve Kerr to task...that was a full judo takedown: i.e. "He looked like a scared little boy."

Say what you want about Trump, but there is NOBODY in the political world that would have stood up to Steve Kerr. Everybody would have cowered backwards. Only Trump has the balls to think, "Who the fuck cares about that guy...I'm better than him anyway and I'll make him rue the day he denigrated me. He's going down!!!"

Discussing it is one thing, but it is annoying to see the mainstream right keep bringing the primary focus on this, especially as a way to deflect from what is really going on. When you have Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, and other major right wing figures going on and on about this and leading the right wing movement to the China issue while not talking about the explicit anti-European agenda of the elites, or, God forbid, Israel and the role of them in all of this, then there is a legitimate concern of this becoming a distraction and a nuisance that is deliberately being used.

Absolutely. I thought the same thing when figures like Alex jones started spouting China owns Hollywood etc. Seriously fuck these gatekeepers.

Its a diversion indeed. I would be extremely wary of anyone peddling this China/Russia is the big bad world threat nonsense on here whilst dismissive or obtuse on the (((real))) threat.

Joe Smith boomer will watch his news nightly program and be outraged at these "damn Chinese taking over the world".

They weren't happy when Obama bowed down lower than the Chinese ruler. "America doesn't bow to anybody" "huff hum im a patriot"

But when Netanyahu the Israeli ruler comes to visit American congress the representatives 'elected' to represent the American people lick this foreign leaders boots and he receives 50 plus standing ovations for a nothing address. The media even critically singling out politicians that weren't enthusiastically applauding enough. It just doesn't register with Joe Smith.

AIPAC and all these different foreign lobbyists and foreign owned corporations, shit even its own money is owned by internationalists and Joe smith public gives not one single fuck and will stare at you blankly before returning to "but China are commies" "Israels our ally"

Fuck me.

Well, there's this:

The film is a Sino-U.S. co-production between DreamWorks Animation and the Shanghai-based Pearl Studio. Pearl is now a fully Chinese-owned rebrand of the former Oriental DreamWorks joint venture, which was founded in 2012 to great fanfare as a landmark collaboration between Hollywood and China.

Also, and I'm playing devil's advocate here, since the story of the movie is set in contemporary Mainland China and the main characters are all Chinese, then of course any map of Asia the characters could have purchased would have been made in China and consequently show the Nine-Dash Line.
It's just the DreamWorks animators paying attention to the details.
