NBA NBA Allows Players to Change Jersey Name to Message of Social Justice

I hope a reporter asks Silver about the NBA enabling child abuse in China. Plz someone have the guts.

Hawley is completely correct to call out the NBA for their hypocrisy on justice issues. They are more than willing to speak up when it doesn’t affect their pocketbook but they’re completely silent on the atrocities their business partners in China are involved in both in Hong Kong and with the Uighurs.

It’s not the pocketbook, genius. NBA players care more about BLM because police killings affect their families and their friends. How dare they care more about issues affecting their community.

Anyone trying to bring up China are just being incredibly selfish. Because they don’t give a f*** about China themselves. Chinese people suffering from oppression aren’t YOUR slaves. Stop using them as your pawn.

 

[Terry Yake]

I hate it. Keep this propaganda out of sports.

*unless its stuff i agree with

Yall out here attacking BLACK people speaking on BLM but you have the audacity to say this lie.

No, not at all. Politics and propaganda doesn't have a place in sports. Frankly, this is disgusting.

Yes, supporting a borderline terrorist group at sports events which are meant for entertainment is beyond disgusting. I'm glad you can think rationally and we agree.

lol

didn't know standing up for black lives means you're a terrorist, but here we are

Supporting them doesn't mean you're a terrorist. It just means you are supporting a terrorist group. Just like if you were supporting ANTIFA, Hamas, Al Qaeda, etc.

And a nice little "lol" there at the beginning. Shows a lot. Hope you're enjoying your high school summer vacation.

Let's leave these matters to those with at least a high school diploma, shall we?

what atrocities? HK riots started because racist HKers didn't want one of their own to be charged with murder

as for Uighurs, i take it you're fine with them joining al-Qaeda and the Pakistani Taliban? this is who you expect Lebron to stand up for

Terrorists? Who has BLM supporters killed or maimed?

Now, compared THAT to how many people that oppose BLM has killed or maimed.

Who's the real terrorist here?

Regardless of what thread you are in you keep insulting people when they challenge your "interesting" takes. That does say a great deal about yourself.

I get that Silver is scared shitless of China but why couldn't players put anything to support Venezuelans or Syrians or other oppressed people? I get its more about domestic issues, but people in those places particularly have it a lot worse.

you do understand that your enemy doesn't have to be someone else's enemy, right. you want them to support US sanctions that are crippling those people?

how many venezuelan or syrian players are in the NBA?

of course there's terrible shit happening in other countries too, but the players' focus is on the issues here at home and in most cases, they are issues that have affected them personally. that's the thing to remember here. if there was a syrian player in the league, there's a good chance he probably would wear a message in regards to the situation there because he may have been personally affected by it

But, that's not what it's been about since China and the NBA was first brought up when Morey tweeted in support of the protests, and how the NBA reacted to him. It's never been a situation where it's been lets focus on domestic issues and leave foreign issues aside. The NBA and members in and around the NBA made the China situation a bigger deal with their response to Morey because they cared more about the China money.

we're talking about the players here

aside from lebron, which players spoke out against morey? the league made a statement and some owners threw in their two cents, but which players came out and said something against morey?

Harden did too, can't remember if there were others as well. NBA should be open to people wanting to speak out about China and human rights violations there, and human rights violations around the world if people want to talk about them or support protests against them, just as they support people talking about the issues here.
