But seriously, this is a huge story that is front page worthy. However, it will barely move the needle because money.

Since most of the people at this one particular academy in Xinjiang were Uighurs, does that make the NBA complicit in the Chinese government's policy on Uighur Muslims?

how is it really any fundamentally different than all of america's business dealings with saudi arabia?

It is not very different. People who already didn’t like nba for other reasons use China as a way to bash the nba so they can feel morally superior.

Why would you ever sell out to a communist nation



Well the NBA isn't the only company. Why aren't we calling out Starbucks, Coca Cola, and the many other American companies that are fine with getting in bed with China

I wish our media establishment would actually stay on their asses instead of giving them the pass we know they will.

It's surprisingly easy to be morally superior to both China and the NBA.
