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 . 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.

We live in a racist country

Suddenly, Pop is a nationalist that only cares about American issues.

When did he comment on foreign civil conflicts before?

Quotes appreciated.

This is such nonsense. Racism is simply a crutch that people lean on for their excuse for failing.

As soon as a political issue threatened the NBA's pocket the political activists throughout the league went silent.

Yep
All them “woke” types refuse to put their riches on the line.

Sad times for all the people championing the NBA these past few years. They were pretty annoying so it's nice to see reality shatter their bubble.

For what foreign civil dispute have you put your money on the line?

[Nathan89]

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...

"Gender-neutral toilets in schools have left girls feeling unsafe and even put their health at risk, parents and teachers have warned."

you're still on about the bathrooms?

[Nathan89]

I like how all of a sudden they aren't "knowledgeable" enough to have an opinion. Because they normally have a great grasp on the issues.

[Nathan89]

you're still on about the bathrooms?

I just highlighting the NBA's political priorities.

[GAustex]

All this is not about me.

Actually it's your priority.

So you only want others to actually speak out and risk anything.

Old drama: pop not calling out communism in China them he did

New drama: why won't pop stand up for the Kurds against the Turks?

[GAustex]

So you only want others to actually speak out and risk anything.

It is not about what I want. I am intrigued by those who use their power and influence to lecture through the media, whether I agree or disagree, on the way things should or should not be and then shrink when their previous stances paint them into an uncomfortable corner.
On an internet message board I am free to point this out.

Yeah you're super brave on an anonymous message board saying how people should act while doing all yourself.

[RGMCSE]

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?

[GAustex]

Yeah you're super brave on an anonymous message board saying how people should act while doing all yourself.

You do the same thing way more than I do.

Trump is still whining about 2016.

I'm not the one saying everyone should have an opinion on every single political issue and risk his money or his employers money on them every time.

Lol man trump got you mad! ��
