re: NBA television ratings 'unremarkable' after solid start in return

So basically the numbers are hovering around the pre-shutdown levels despite less TVs, no crowds, less teams, and a somewhat preseason approach to the Bubble games that some teams are taking?

So much for the boycott destroying the league

No it is only important for the nba players to denounce China. They will still get their Drew Brees knockoff jersey from there in order to save $30

Did you just forget how to read in regards to the first sentence in my post or are you always just a disingenuous prick?

Being on the side that believes in racial equality is certainly the right side of history.

Believing in "equality," even among two people of the same race, is certainly the insane side of anything.

It’s pretty bizarre to see these people not able to just call out the hypocrisy but still support the race baiting agenda of the players. The Hong Kong hypocrisy is so blatant that they look ridiculous trying to spin it.

They are complete hacks and they look like morons.

I’m not sure why this is a difficult concept for you two to understand. If you support, with an extremely large and lucrative platform, a nation that is engaging is rampant and countless human rights violations on an enormous scale; and try to sell to me that your actions aren’t about maximizing profits but instead are motivated by being on “the right side of history”, you come across as a blinded fool.

And most of the people you are talking to are actively denouncing China and searching for avenues in which they can spend their money on commodities that don’t involve China. Maybe you haven’t noticed, but ever since COVID people at large haven’t been too keen on giving that nation money.

I’m not sure if y’all are referring to the Mr. Perfects on here or the NBA players, but—and not to excuse it—I honestly think very few players even now comprehend their hypocrisy regarding Hong Kong and China. Not that they aren’t smart enough, just that they aren’t educated enough. They’re ignorant. That’s what was so hilarious about Lebron calling out Morey—it was so fricking incredibly stupid and he had no idea. Like the Kanye likes fish sticks South Park episode.

And making the cash that they do, probably don’t care to be. It’s Adam Silver that really should be shamed, but he seems to have masterfully slithered out of this mess unscathed.

Black people are far more successful in the US than anywhere else in the world. Can you please point to the current policy stopping black people from equal opportunity?

You can have equal opportunity or equal outcome, not both.

I was referring to our resident two posters that are either unable to or unwilling to reconcile with the hypocrisy of what they are putting forth.

I mostly agree with your assessment of the actual NBA players. But born out of ignorance or not, as you said yourself, it ultimately isn’t an excuse and for me personally, my lack of viewership is mostly because of my inability to be inundated with the hypocrisy of the league’s very visible sociopolitical stances of the previous two years.
