Let's be honest here because I have a feeling you are being very disingenuous with this effort against the NBA.

Have you every driven a Ford or GM vehicle? Bought something from Amazon? Have an iPhone or bought a coffee from Starbucks? Flew on an Boeing aircraft?

If so, than one could argue and ask, do you care about human rights in China?

Yes, the NBA is F.O.S. with their hypocrisy when it comes to China, but so are many other big time U.S. companies. They've all sold their souls for money. So unless you have decided to say screw pretty much every big American business, I don't believe you are on the front lines fighting for human rights in China. And if you are, I applaud you for being a better human than practically the rest of us Americans.

I guess my answer to that would be that I also don’t spend millions in advertising preacher how I’m standing up for equality and making a difference in the lives of minorities while ordering things from Amazon.

The nba can take all the money they want from China, but they lose me when they can’t stomach the US national anthem bc they think we are so bad. Can’t have both

Dang, guess you don’t care about human rights for the millions in slavery in China....

What kind of phone you got? Car you drive?

You just have your agenda and are tuning out the rest. None of us are truly boycotting China, let's be real here.

It is honestly pretty amazing that people can't just watch a sport for the sake of watching the sport.

I tune in at kick off/tip off, pay zero mind to what announcers are saying... I just watch the game. That's really it.

He doesn’t get the irony of being a hypocrite in a thread with the title this one has.

I’d wager that the OP and I have done the same amount to help the human rights situation in China.

I just don’t get online to virtue signal with an arbitrary boycott

He didn’t watch the 3-point contest with his son.

I watched it with my dad. We had a blast.

Not one damn bit of difference was made after he robbed himself of free entertainment, unless you count a few empty upvotes on a message board.
