[QUOTE="arafat scarf, post: 1281500, member: 2464"] Steve Kerr is absolutely getting ratio'ed for those remarks in the tweet Roosh linked to — for indirectly comparing human rights abuses in the US to those of China. Unbelievable lack of perspective and sense of proportion. I hope Trump has another go at him; [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD2cBUqUunE]he bodied him in a press conference earlier this week[/url] saying that he was 'scared like a little boy'. Just recently the NBA [url=https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/nba-cancels-media-availability-rest-china-trip-hong-kong-morey-lakers-nets-150452836.html]has put in a leaguewide gag order and canceled all media availability[/url]. I suppose it's understandable: American players are over there and it would be best not to put them in a compromising situation with the Chinese government. Also, the league employees and their media departments keep stepping on PR landmines and are proving totally unequipped to skate around the issue and defend the indefensible. In the bigger scheme this whole story is a nice sanity check. I can't recall a pop culture issue that has unified public opinion while casting a harsh light on China, our involvement with them, and the global capitalist corporate elite. China looks like shit by just being a routinely awful and overly repressive ethno-state trying to silence freedom of expression. The traitorous corporate elites, both owners and athletes, look like shit since they have both acquiesced to awful China and have become a mockery themselves in their equivocal responses and general fumbling. It's a good thing that the general facebook-post-liking-youtube-viewing public won't take NBA players or the league serious on anything other than dunking a basketball for a good while. And all this over one, single tweet... [/QUOTE]
