what i would be thinking more is---- i really love the NBA, but at what point does me enjoying a league who bends over backwards to kowtow and support a communist dictatorship that kills thousands of its people, crushes dissent, destroys free speech, and goes against every democratic principle that the US was based on get in the way of me enjoying the NBA.
thats a personal question for everyone.
at least Silver supported free speech.
Lebron was as ridiculous of an ass kisser as he could be- his statement read like it was approved by someone in the chinese government.
100% agree.
Like it or not, the nature of the United States relationship with China puts people in the position of having to decide whether or not to enjoy a sports league that gets a lot of money from China (I've heard that if the NBA were to sever ties with China, it would cost them enough money that it would significantly effect the salary cap) or even buying products that were made there.
