Babylon Bee

quote:

U.S.—After James Harden wore a Blue Lives Matter bandana around his face earlier this week and was swiftly condemned for it, the NBA clarified its masking policy: all players are required to wear masks, but they must depict the Communist Chinese flag.

"We need to stay safe, mask up, and show our support for the Communists," said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. "American flag masks, Blue Lives Matter masks, or any other unapproved political statement will not be tolerated. We have to love our neighbor by masking up and showing our loyalty to President Xi, may he live forever."

"This is about keeping our players safe and keeping the money flowing in from China."

Satire is a true struggle these days.

Really subtle

If you're going to be heavy-handed with satire at least be funny.

You been in a hole for a while or something?

Satire is real life, and no real news is surprising anymore.
