Yahoo Sports

It was only a matter of time.

President Donald Trump used the NBA’s ongoing China controversy (https://sports.yahoo.com/did-china-overplay-its-hand-in-trying-to-silence-nba-173014926.html) to attack two of his biggest critics in the sports world on Wednesday, calling out Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.
Trump, taking questions from media in the White House’s Roosevelt room (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE_MyphajHM) after signing an executive order on transparency in federal guidance and enforcement, brought up the two coaches while discussing relations with China.
He was asked about whether he thinks China is wrong to pressure the NBA over Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey’s tweet supporting Hong Kong protesters (https://sports.yahoo.com/china-suspends-relationship-with-houston-rockets-after-gm-tweets-support-for-hong-kong-protests-171331330.html) in their conflict with China’s government.
He took the opportunity to immediately lay into Kerr.

‘He was like a little boy’
“I watch this guy Steve Kerr, and he was like a little boy,” Trump said. “He was so scared to be even answering the question. He couldn’t answer the question, he was shaking. He didn’t know how to answer the question. He’ll talk about the United States very badly.”
He then set his sights on Popovich, but with a lighter touch.
“I watched Popovich, sort of the same thing,” Trump said. “But he didn’t look quite as scared, actually. But they talk badly about the United States. But when the talk’s about China, they don’t want to say anything bad. I thought it was pretty sad, actually.”

He is right to call out Kerr. The dude was a scared bitch. He literally couldn’t even come up with a bs pc quote. I have nothing to say :cry

Pop atleast said something indirectly by supporting Silver’s take on free speech. But America has been China’s bitch for decades now so to pretend that Kerr and Pop are the only 2 whose balls shrivel up when forced to start a confrontation with China is disingenuous.

twelve years later Republicans abandoned black people in order to get their guy into the White House, effectively ending reconstruction and allowing the Klan to take hold.

The Klan wouldn't have been a thing had republicans not turned their back on blacks in the south. It took up till the 1964 Voting rights act to undo some of the damage that they had done, then Nixon used it to appeal to racists in the Democratic Party to come over to the Republican party with the Southern Strategy. And people wonder why there are only 8% of Black people who identify as conservatives now...

The republican party isn't the same as the one that freed black people (not that they should get credit for doing what they were supposed to do). During the late 1960's and early 1970's, the parties realigned and the racists dixiecrats joined the Republican party in droves after Nixon appealed to them.

This is something that the GOP has admitted to and apologies for as recently as 2004. Spurs Padre is right tbh and :lmao at siding with Chris

WOW!

True.

But also, if you are an active supporter of freedom and democracy, you support freedom and democratic values and principles everywhere. In America, in China, everywhere.

If you don't talk about human rights violations and lack of democracy in China just because that will affect economic interests of the NBA then you're a greedy coward.

LeBron James didn't say a word about China issues because his almost billion contract with Nike but Pop??? I'm very disappointed. I expected a lot more from a freedom/democracy defender like him.

It's going to get ugly if a media member has the juevos to ask Pop if he agrees with LeBron. What Pop and Kerr did was deflect because they were scared to answer a question about China. What LeBron did was provide propaganda for the Chinese government to justify their crackdown of dissidents in Hong Kong.

I agree somewhat, but people with iPhones, while part of the problem, are not making billions off the backs of that government like the NBA/Players are and don’t have the platform either.

I believe that Pop and Lebron are good people and I’m proud that league/business takes strong moral stands. Its just disappointing that when this was thrust into the light it was handled so weakly.

It's not the products they make in China. We can tariff that stuff and make it at home. It's the good we sell to the market. The NBA isn't benefiting from buying nice I phones for the players. The league is benefiting from the revenue it generates due to its popularity in China. If the league was not getting that money, it would be hurting. The same with Disney and other corporations. It isn't the good that are bought from China that allows China to stymie free speech even on our soil, it is the profits from selling good to the Chinese market. So the joe schmo that has an I-Phone is not contributing to the problem. In fact, they are providing a job for a lowly Chinese worker. It's the fact that Disney has to run its scripts by China so it can ensure it does not offend them and ensure that they can sell their movies in China and get the extra revenue. That is the problematic behavior. I phones are just smokescreen arguments.

Again, that is a major false equivalence in my eyes. It’s one thing to live, but another to make extraordinary profit. And even if you think it’s equal, that is also you admitting the NBA/Players stance is hypocritical.

They just have more of it and direct contracts that produce it. You and I are just as hypocritical -- the rest is just a weird class and/or race warfare whipped cream topping.

Your initial premise implies that people can't criticize the chinese government, since they're validating their actions when they buy chinese products.

So according to your logic, you too can no longer buy american products, while criticizing Trump and the government at the same time in any subject in general, not just free speech. It's a flawed logic and you're an hypocrite.

We have guaranteed rights and elections and term limits and separation of powers so idiots like Trump won't last. Nice try, but you're just not very smart.

No, YOU aren't very smart. We tolerate your shtick all the time. You play cut-down game like a 7th grade boy, but on the whole you're positions are mostly infantile. You're small-minded, and your arguments are ALWAYS something on the scale of logical fallacy.

The story just broke that LeBron pressured Silver to punish Morey over his comment, and that his sole interest in this is financial gain. He said that there is a price to pay for the things we say. A real man understands that sometimes there is a price to be paid for not speaking. But neither he nor you understand the way a real man thinks. LeBron is self-absorbed, and you're a child.

Fire away with your childish rant. Just be glad that I've sworn off lightning bolts.


BTW asshole - the guy can be hypocritical, and the things he says can still be true. Logical fallacy. Again.

If you guys have always been consistent about this, why don't you bump all your posts from previous years about China and every US business interest there?

China has been a communist dictatorship for 70 years. The NBA has been playing in China for 13 years. Certainly you've all been boycotting the games from the beginning and fighting for the freedom of the Chinese this whole time, right?
