    You know who is a truth teller, Daryl Morey. Much respect, even if his owner forced him to take down his tweet.
    Really he’s the ing hero in all this. I can’t believe of all people and in such a manner has exposed the China oppressiveness in such a way that this discussion is now open to the masses. He took a typical known news story and ripped the scab off for mainstream media and followers to view.

    I can't wait to see Pop order the US national team that is finally loaded with NBA superstars to lose to China because the Chinese government told them to do so. And then after, he can talk about Trump, even if Trump is no longer in office.

    You are missing the point. China has a long history of abuse, but Hong Kong hasn't been part of the long history, so in some senses, it is kind of new. At the same time, Morey and South Park are letting us all know just how pathetic the USA has become. We used to give lip service about China and its human rights problem. Now we are allowing them to silence us. That's haunting.

    We as a nation sold out to China a long time ago because we like cheap and don't really care who gets exploited to that end. Let all your cheap China making your lives better haunt you. Chances are you won't.

    Has pop talked about China's human rights issue's and why it's ok to play games in a wretched vile country? If he hasn't he's the hypocrite I knew he was.

    Morey is a hypocrite. He can support democratic Hong Kong, but he's never tweeted or spoke out about the human rights issues in Sudan. Coward.

    I remember when North Carolina passed a law about men can only go to men’s room and women can only go to women’s restrooms. Well the LGQPT has a fit and I believe Silver interjected into state politics and said the NBA All Star game would not take place because of the blatant discrimination law. Someone correct me if I am wrong...
    Exactly. I guess opposing mandates on bathroom assignments is more important than human rights. Adam & crew are so courages.

    they sell cheap 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.

    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.

    If they "stand up" to China, what changes in China?

    Nothing. Not one damn thing.

    In that respect, they are exactly the same as SpursTalk posters.

    Not sure why you are all in to defend Silver and Pop for being silent on human rights abuses in China when they have a huge microphone and could encourage and support the protesters that are risking their lives (including their vital organs). Why are you so against speaking out against China? Is it because you think speaking out against human rights somehow makes you a Trump supporter?

    I just said their speaking out changes absolutely nothing in China. And again, no one is required to say anything about anything. Not sure why you're all in on criticizing them when there are millions of other Americans with more skin in any game with China and bigger microphones.

    And yes, most of the people whining about Pop are butthurt Trump supporters. Congrats if you aren't one.

    Seriously the main thing keeping the Chinese government in check here is the presence of the fake news enemy of the people western media. If Xi finds a way to get them out he'll go full Tiananmen on the students.

    China has over 17 + cells of hack groups around the world that they’re sole purpose is to hack MSP’s. When they attain access to these MSP’s they have access to countless companies data. The main reason they target MSP’s? Well for one a poorly run MSP does not use MFA practices and use credentials for multiple site/data stored within the MSP infrastructure for authorization. It’s actually laid out in CISA memos. Multiple agencies and countries are continuously battling these China hacking cells.

    You didn't actually say what you do, but regardless still financing them by buying all that cheap you're enjoying. I bet a bunch of you are still going to play Call of Duty as well.

    Why the would I tell you what I do. Just know that I stay informed and you have nothing but fake news media bias trump hate. Besides any and all consumers have at one point bought something knowingly or not from China. Again you are an idiot. I can’t continue educating your dumb ass. It was fun though.

    So you weren't even talking about what you do?


    And at your "fake news" Trump mantra. The media is keeping those protesters in Hong Kong alive. You should be thanking the media if you actually give a about the protesters. Doesn't fit what you're told to believe though.
