The loss “will be in the hundreds of millions,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said on Saturday, the first time he’d used such a number to estimate the cost to the league’s China business. The hit amounted to “probably less than $400 million,” Silver said in response to speculation that the losses could reach $1 billion, though he cautioned that the final number might be lower than the figure he cited.

“It’s substantial,” Silver said. “I don’t want to run from that. We were taken off the air in China for a period of time, and it caused our many business partners in China to feel it was therefore inappropriate to have ongoing relationships with us. But I don’t have any sense that there’s any permanent damage to our business there.”

Do you actually give a shite about people enslaved by government or are you just like Lebron and using their suffering for your own selfish agenda?

Hav any of us “Spoke Truth to Power!” Or “Fought against oppression”?

That’s the difference between lebron’s stance in China and most of ours

Think of all the money the NBA is losing by not selling child pornography.

Maybe, just maybe, the goal shouldnt just be to maximize revenue no matter what.

I'm sure China or North Korea would be happy to take you in. You would not be missed.
