I guess we're on the precipice of another pandemic. Last time a country tried to assert independence from China, they released COVID to stop the protests.

Yep. And he won't fully understand WHY he is pissed...he just knows that he is pissed.

Had no idea. Probably best to acknowledge Taiwan's independence if he wants to continue playing, living and getting paid there.

He hasn't read enough book covers to be educated enough on the subject.

It’s pretty well known Lebron wants to be a Hollywood star post basketball so he will say whatever the Hollywood execs tell him to.

Poor guy is too busy being literally hunted everyday to get beyond the first few pages. 20 years in the league and he still is showing up to interviews with the same 5-10 books. If those racist Californians would just chill out he would at least be on book 11 or 12 by now.

It’s always devastating when our wrestling heroes betray our admiration, love and loyalty.

quote:

“ Where I’m from if I say I wanna go to the country, it doesn’t not mean that place is a country. It’s just how we talk. If I offended anyone in China, I apologize. It was not my intention to harm anyone with what I said in the commercial. I am not a politician. I don’t want to get involved in any politics… I have the utmost respect for Chinese people and utmost respect for Taiwanese people, so it was never my intent to disrespect nobody,” Howard clarified to the press in Taiwan, according to the CNN report.

“Superman” sucking the Chinese dick

World War III started 16 months ago. The seeds were planted in 2014.

Blacks are not only owned by rich democrats in America but also the Chinese. They should be ashamed of themselves.
