So this time Pop has nothing to say?

[Nathan89]

Yeah. Pop has to be worried about the whole world as much as the country he lives and pays taxes in.

Get out of here with this shit. Of all people, Trumpers shouldn't be the ones worried about other nations.

Why wouldn't Trump supporters care about other countries when corporations cater to those countries?
Also "free speech" is now utilized as a measure between left and right leaning media outlets. Seems to me there is plenty of logic behind a Trump supporter voicing an opinion on this issue.

The NBA only throws around their political weight for the big issues like access to the opposite genders restroom. Which leads to the ultimate solution of gender neutral restrooms. Which ultimately leads to...

I’m not afraid to criticize China. Pop is. And you defend China by justifying his silence.

Pop is so woke he has insomnia. He won’t touch the China topic with a ten foot pole. He’s keeping to the dems playbook by deflecting and crying about the “last 3 years”. Hey pop how about the last 5 years of basketball?

[Light]

When Pop speaks on issues in his own country:


Yes, but they speak out and nothing happens. So under your logic, they should stop talking per your other posts. But if they care about human rights, then why not speak out? Hardin was falling over himself to assure China that he is good. Just let the man keep selling his shoes in China and he'll look the other way at whatever.

But when there's international issues in the news..


Yes, but RGMCSE and you and most posters here have very little power to influence China. But guys like Pop, the coach of the national team, and Silver, the head of a multi-billion dollar company have power and opportunity and mouthpiece to stand up to China and instead they are silenced in fear. That's why people are calling them out. To compare the position of Pop and Silver to a Spurstalk poster is not an argument, it's a sign of a lack of an argument.

Pop's platform isn't powerful enough to cause any tangible change in his own democratic country, but somehow speaking out on China is supposed to have a big impact?

This dude is deflecting with politics to get off topic. But you know what the NBA’s biggest fear is right now other than losing China money? It’s having to crawl back to the American people and have to earn American dollars again. Look at the NFL and ESPN as examples. Pop and Kerr were emboldened to speak out against the big bad US without repercussion. Now we know who butters there proverbial bread. Give it a year or two when they realize China ain’t playing around. They’ll come crawling back to the US market in droves supporting American causes. They’ll be so arrogant about it that they’ll have everyone believing you anti American for doubting them.

Dude just called him a great leader.

Do you think Xi is a great leader?

Yes or no.

And the NBA will be far from done if China drops them completely. Half a billion from $7.4 billion is significant, but not fatal.

You're going to have to pray for something else to put the uppity blacks and their friends in their place.:lol

The NBA is basically subscribing to Chinese Communist Party dictating American freedom of speech laws.

And Pop has nothing to say?
He is always very happy to criticize the government and the President. Meantime Kerr stutters some sorry-ass excuse not to comment...

Got to love the progressive NBA.

so Pop said something to shut you up. Meanwhile Trump is still sucking China’s balls to manufacture all his goods there instead of bringing the jobs back for Americans. That’s how much he cares about Americans, he doesn’t give a shit about them, he just wants to make money but apparently Trumpsters are too stupid to realize it

[Frenchfred]

they sell cheap shit because they steal intellectual property and then ban the originator / developer of a product with their own patents then sell it around the world. If they couldn’t steal intellectual property they wouldn’t have the 2nd largest economy. Anyways this has been going on for decades and it’s finally being called out. Mean while the NBA is getting bent over and silver and the like are crawling and begging.
They steal IP because companies like Intel, AMD, and Apple offshore their production for cheap labor, and never stopped to think about what that meant, long term. They literally GAVE it to the Chinese.

I'm not justifying it, just saying it was inevitable. When you HAND THEM your chip, or whatever you manufacture, and say "Here, make these for $1 apiece", of course they're going to steal it. China is KNOWN for not respecting IP, and has been for decades. What exactly did Intel, AMD, and Apple expect? They were stupid, and stupid people and companies get taken advantage of.

sure that’s one form of stealing. But they are literally hacking companies and stealing plans/architecture and trade details then patenting as their own product. Then banning the original creator of said product from selling their own product. That’s cyber warfare for profit. Everyone is affected but this.

Not sure why people keep defecting to Trump. Surely Trump has some moral ground with his tariff battle, but we all know that the trade war was a miscalculation that is going to harm his ability to get re-elected on the only thing that has kept him relevant...the economy.

But Trump has nothing to do with Silver being so afraid of China that he issued a separate statement for the US and China. His statement here in the US is nice and sweet because he is relying on teams, like Rocket ownership, to reign in all talk about China. Note truth teller, Pop, had time to deflect the issue to Trump instead of mentioning the C word. He's as scared of talking about China as all the players. Why? It's bad for business. The NBA relies on the Chinese market to make big money. Pop want to try to recruit a max level player that will be blacklisted by China the minute he signs with the Spurs if Pop is outspoken?

While I don't blame Pop for cowering, I do think the players and Pop are hypocrites. They speak out on the detention centers for immigrants because its safe to do now that Trump is president. But they are silent on concentration camps where political dissidents are forced into slave/free labor to make goods for the US to buy. Try competing with that labor advantage. And when they aren't busy forcing the dissidents to be Santa's little helpers, they are using them to harvest organs. In any other setting, this would be an affront to the world, but here in the US, so many corporations, including the NBA, rely on those Chinese dollars that they won't take a stand and they will let China dictate what they say. I can't wait to watch Disney's live action Mulan and its script that has been approved by the Chinese government.

Stevie Kerr,

What about the Chinese assault forceps used for mandatory population control in China? Yes that is a thing. Stevie probably supports assault forceps.

There is no freedom of religion in China either. Missionaries live in fear over there as they try to do their work in China. Re-education camps are a thing as well.

No first amendment.
No second amendment.
No fourth amendment.
No rights at all.

U.S. Companies have been dancing with the PRC for decades (seen it first hand) and it has consequences. Cheap labor/manufacturing has its own price.

Kerr and Popovich are not nearly as wise as they think they are. They have made spitting in the face of a material part of their customer base a cottage industry. Not that Stevie and Poops care, but my auto renew for NBA league pass will not be in effect next year. I'm done with that - it's a bummer but it's hard to support this ship of fools called the NBA.

Maybe Yao Ming should take Adam Silver's job so everyone can be happy.

Would it be disrespectful to call out the Nazis for putting Jewish people in concentration camps before WW2? China’s behavior is the moral equivalent. Except they buy our silence or force it by closing their markets. They even control speech in the US. They tell Disney and others that the movies won’t be allowed if they show China in a bad light. They control our freedom of speech. Liberal or conservative doesn’t matter. What they are doing is a human issue and we should shine a light on it. Media attention may be the only thing that causes them to act with less cruelty.

China isn’t the only country with human rights abuses. They should all be called out. But China is a first world country. Someday they may overtake the US. They can’t be allowed to take up that mantle in the world community when they do what they do to political dissidents. Since China is becoming a first world powerhouse, they are more vulnerable to influence from other countries who flood money and goods into their markets. China relies on the rest of the world too. So what we say and do here can make a difference if we are not silenced by the need to have more and more money.

Damn y'all Americans are brainwashed. Disney is a free masonic pedophile network, I wouldn't show those movies to kids either. Talk about freedom of speech, but go disrespect a faggot on social media and your account will be banned. Do that shit in the entertainment industry and you'll be black balled. But freedom of speech, yeah sure. Lol. The amount of hypocrisy in the US is unmatched. All this China propaganda is just going on cause y'all owe them mad money and somehow gotta keep the dollar afloat. That's why you wage war against other countries for oil. And now you need a war against China. But none of you will get this cause you get your news from CNN

Why aren't any of the pussy journalists asking Pop about his Beto support? Imagine voting for that imbecile and being the moral high horse that Pop is on. Pop loved him so much he wore a hat to show his support.

[Pavlov]

So many grievances....:lol

[Keepin' it real]

I've been a Spurs fan for decades and appreciate what Pop's done for and meant to the franchise ... but he really really needs to stfu. It doesn't matter if you and I agree or disagree with his politics.

The point is basketball is supposed to be an escape from that political bullshit! Enough already!!

[Pavlov]

Why can't you people just not give a shit about what other people say?

Why to you force yourself to be triggered by guys who have no actual say in these events or policies?

[Ondrej]

Would it be disrespectful to call out the Nazis for putting Jewish people in concentration camps before WW2? China’s behavior is the moral equivalent. Except they buy our silence or force it by closing their markets. They even control speech in the US. They tell Disney and others that the movies won’t be allowed if they show China in a bad light. They control our freedom of speech. Liberal or conservative doesn’t matter. What they are doing is a human issue and we should shine a light on it. Media attention may be the only thing that causes them to act with less cruelty.

China isn’t the only country with human rights abuses. They should all be called out. But China is a first world country. Someday they may overtake the US. They can’t be allowed to take up that mantle in the world community when they do what they do to political dissidents.

So what we say and do here can make a difference if we are not silenced by the need to have more and more money.
Personally I may agree, but this is how capitalism works. Disney and NBA are just companies who work for the profit. And China is a big market for US entertainment products. Those who pay the piper call the tune.
But neither Kerr nor Silver nor Mickey Mouse should decide if Chinese have been become next nazis and they need to be stigmatized or stopped. It's on the goverment, on Trump, on electors.

Did Pop ever criticize China? Or are we still waiting. He surely has the right to criticize Trump every chance he gets. That's the benefit of not living in a dictatorship, like China, where the government controls what you can say. If Pop were in Hong Kong saying about Chinese leadership what he says about Trump, he'd be in a concentration camp making goods to sell to the U.S. or China would be harvesting his organs against his will. But that doesn't appear to bother Pop near as much as Trump bothers him.

So brave! So courageous! Go Social Justice POP!:lmao

You won't hear a single thing about China from this social justice warrior

[cd98]

Whoa boy. LeBron on Daryl Morey: “"I don't want to get into a [verbal] feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand, and he spoke," James said before the Los Angeles Lakers (https://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers) played the Golden State Warriors (https://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/gs/golden-state-warriors) in a preseason game at Staples Center. "And so many people could have been harmed not only financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually. So just be careful what we tweet and say and we do, even though, yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that, too."

Morey has an MBA from MIT. I think he’s a little more informed than LeBron, esp bc the Rockets were the most connected team in China. Morey was really only misinformed in thinking LeBron cares about someone in China being tortured. Lip service. LeBron only cares about money.

[cd98]

Now he just made the case for why Kap shouldn’t have kneeled. You know the cause doesn’t matter. What matters is I had a hard week and could lose money. Tears.

"I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet. I'm not discussing the substance. Others can talk about that," James said in a tweet (https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/1183934373671735296).
"My team and this league just went through a difficult week. I think people need to understand what a tweet or statement can do to others. And I believe nobody stopped and considered what would happen. Could have waited a week to send it," James added in a second tweet (https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/1183934569411530752).

[Nathan89]

I actually can't believe that LeBron, who had DAYS to think about his answer, went with blaming Daryl Morey and saying that it was MOREY who was uneducated in speaking about the topic. And then suggests it was MOREY who was selfish here, instead of the Chinese government.

he very clearly stated he’s for freedom of speech and pro democracy. Obviously this is what Hong Kong if protesting China to retain their democracy. Pop wouldn’t even go that far. Which says a lot.

[exstatic]

I do think that [NBA Commissioner] Adam Silver had a tightrope to walk and I thought he did an excellent job in managing the situation. Other than that, as an American, I believe in free speech and democracy. It’s kind of what we stand for.


I think players, every American has the right to free speech. Whether it continues on different topics...you know there are a lot of difficult topics in the world. Syria is a difficult topic. Ukraine is a difficult topic. There are a lot of world issues that maybe a lot of people aren’t well-enough versed to comment on.

You're right! If you study enough, you'll start to recognize when China's thugs stage violent acts to make the HK protesters seem like a threat in order to justify and make people sympathetic to their inappropriately violent response. Keep learning and you'll see those tactics in use in other countries.

Then you'll see them at home.
