Money talks, bull*%)t walks. Some things never change.

Just wait until the Chinese government passes a bill similar to the restroom bill passed in North Carolina.

Funny how the Right Wingers are suddenly not okay with folks who are all about the money and the market opportunities.

The world revolves around the almighty dollar….

Hey, China, got any dirt on ivanka? There’s plenty of corruption there, and trump is all about rooting out corruption.

God forbid, anyone anywhere in sports have any morality.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is affirming the league will not censor players or front-office personnel, saying “freedom of expression” is paramount for the league, which has been criticized for its response to an employee’s tweet about pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.

Silver says the NBA is not apologizing for a now-deleted tweet from Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey that thrust the NBA into tumult over its business dealings in China in recent days.

“The long-held values of the NBA are to support the freedom of expression and certainly freedom of expression by members of the NBA community,” Silver says, speaking at a news conference near Tokyo on Tuesday.

On October 1, 2019, Trump tweeted: “Congratulations to President Xi and the Chinese people on the 70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China!” Funny how none of you neocons have taken Trump to task for this bit of authoritarian adulation.

Yeah, they buy sneakers by the billions!

Do they ever. And components of the NBA make big bucks in China. (Or did. The Chinees are verrry touchy about criticism.)

There are millions of shoes sold in China every year with the Nike logo. 3 or 4 pairs actually came from Nike.
