Nike, the NBA, and star player LeBron James have remained silent on China's increasing hostility toward the LGBTQ community, most recently when one of the country's most prestigious universities cracked down on students displaying LGBTQ flags.

Isn't manufacturing quietly being pulled out of China a little bit? I wonder if in 20 years we will all hate China again.

What manufacturing? I’d say 90%+ American goods used everyday are made in China and that number is not going to change. Amazon gets almost all their stuff from there.

We have to address the injustices and systemic racism in this country before we can even begin to think about China.

Liberals are best at hollering how intolerant America is while ignoring that we are literally the most tolerant country in the world.

People are so fricking stupid it’s unbelievable.

I am no liberal but I am not sure I get this line of thinking.

We should strive to be the best country we can be, not just better than other countries.

“we are better than the others” is a pretty weak excuse to make.

Do you think coach saban wants to be just better than other teams or does he want his team to be as great as it possibly could?

This is an easy answer.

I don’t think Coach Saban isn’t exactly a moral compass you want to use. In fact most of college coaches are shady.

Coach Saban does whatever he needs to do. So your argument is weak

While I see your point, mine is that the same people pretend that other countries are better.

This is also true when religion is brought up.

Christians in America are so “intolerable, racist, misogynist, etc,” yet Muslims literally murder and rape women and children on the regular for being out of line.

It’s hilarious to even compare the Christians in America to religious extremism across the world.

Would it not make us a better country if we helped ease the torture of women and children as they work themselves to death for little pay?

Can we not strive to be the best country we can be while also acknowledging that we’re not as bad as hypocritical liberals say we are?

Does that mean that Michael Jordan, Converse, New Balance, and Oakley did speak out? Or were they left off that list for different reasons?

I wonder if they disguise the Black National Anthem as a cancer song during All Star Games in China.

Those damn Communists can be sneaky like that, I hear.

I never stopped, they’ve been conducting economic espionage against us for over 20 years. If Nixon never launched that initiative to help them they’d still be riding bikes and shitting in outhouses like they were 40 years ago

Here’s the truth. People/companies all are on a contest to see who’s the first and loudest to sound brave and virtuous when nothing is at risk. But when a bunch money is at stake, we all become cowards and sell out. And deep down we know this about ourselves so we have to have virtue signaling moments to cope with this.

Don't you know? LeCuck is just not educated enough to comment on the issue. He just needs to read the first pages of 50 more books.
