Every other U.S. Fortune 500 corporation has taken a bold stand against China for democracy’s sake, foregoing imports, trillions in profit$, and an incredibly cheap manufacturing base.
Hong Kong, Yemen, North Korea, Kurdistan, Ukraine, and all those other s#!thole countries just know that President Trump will not let democracy die out.
Indeed, except for the evil NBA [owned & directed by the players, who are mostly black], all of corporate America has united under the leadership of our president and the Republicans — unmatched in wisdom — supporting freedom throughout the world.
Here’s a list of companies who have genuflected to China: https://github.com/caffeine-overload/bandinchina It would be helpful if we had some leadership in the White House that supported democratic movements instead of authoritarian ones.
Lives or nothin’ but net profits? Hmm… Last I heard Xi & Co. had about 10% of NBA in their very deep pockets (sponsorship and other investments). Now we know what the price of souls is. And yet people continue to give Colin Kaepernick crap for using his right of free speech – agree with his thoughts or not it’s still his right to express them and at least he stands up for his right to express them. Where are the voices of the NBA? How willing are other rich athletes to sell others and even their own right to free speech down the river? Would they stand up for anyone not handing the league a paycheck? Did all the balls in the NBA get caught in the net?
Use of tear gas in warfare (as with all other chemical weapons,) is prohibited by various international treaties that most states have signed. Police and private self-defense use is not banned in the same manner.

Supporting freedom would cost Lebron a small part of his income. He can’t afford it. /s
