Sixers fan ejected from exhibition game vs Guangzhou for holding up signs supporting HK and Morey

this happened in philly. How does he get 20 years?

 

You know you don’t have to watch the NBA right?

The CBA supports your position. Hell, you could probably get a job as a spokesperson with the way you defend China’s human rights violations.

I kind of wish we could throw people that support that kind of thing out of games, but then I’d be no better than you guys.

 

Um as a security guard for G League... I can attest half of this is not accurate

 

luckily ,they're American ,if they're chinese ,15 days detain is waiting for them .

 

lame

 

lol

 

Lol did UK gv them free election?
Did protesters NOT want the govt to say YES to EVERYTHING they ask for? That’s Democracy you serious?
Did protesters NOT do horrible things that derserve bullets thousand times in free lands like the US?
Did your media NOT do if not more at least equally mind controlling tricks CCP has been doing? But kept telling u that only China was the bad guy?

Are you not giving any credits to China no matter what progress we made.
But only endlessly picking mistakes?

Admit it,
Do you not just enjoy mocking us?
Are you not bullying us, just bcuz we are not same as you?
Are you fair to us?

Double Standard Genius.
I like that.

 

1. There is NO election whatsoever 100 years ago in Hong Kong, at the same time, there were also warlords everywhere in Chiba. 300 years ago, there were still black slaves in US. 40 years ago, the Berlin Wall still standstill. It’s called PROGRESSIVE you forking moron. Before Hong Kong returning back to China, we already have 2 levels direct elections (区议会/立法会）. And that’s not all, what is the most important thing is this : the direct election was the outcome from the join declaration between China and Britain and it was written in the Basic Law. It’s China whom broken it on its own. Yes you sucked it up to your dictator when he changed your own constitution, but it doesn’t mean people in Hong Kong should knee down like you cowards.

2. Your second questions is beyond laughable, first do your homework and understand what are the 5 demands. Unlike how the CCP keep brainwashing you idiots, Hong Kong protesters never asked for independence in those 5 demands. The whole movement was initiated because the government wanted to break the law again by passing a new legislation, just like 5 years ago how they did to cancel the direct election of the governor of Hong Kong. In fact, they knew they did wrong and eventually the motion for the new legislation was completely removed after 2-3 months later when the protests were out of control.

3. The violence and destruction that happening in Hong Kong now are the reactions to the Hong Kong police brutality and its also progressive during the last few months. The demand in the beginning was very simple : ‘withdraw the motion for the legislation that can send Hong Kong people back to mainland for trials’. There was no response from the government but instead decided to use police brutality against the protesters and also even hired Hong Kong triads ( gangsters) to attack innocents people with weapons - some are not even protesters like normal residents and journalists. When people are being attacked, then they started to equip themselves and fight.

4. You can try to argue above facts but you will fail and being embarrassed. Because these are all being broadcasting LIVE every single hour and every single day since the last few months. They are all documented. And you are just being feed by edited clips by you shameless propaganda government controlled media’s.

 

This, basically. I'm an American who has been all up and through both HK and China multiple times and its a shame how China has systematically walked back HK's autonomy since 1997. The end goal is for HKers to have to follow the same rules as mainland Chinese and they don't want that for obvious reasons. The PRC government wants to be the government of all of southeast Asia including Taiwan, and they want to use the "successful" integration of HK as justification for their eventual power play on Taiwan.

It's about nothing but state control, and unfortunately the CCP has been in power long enough to brainwash the vast majority of Chinese citizens into submission with the idea that peace can only be maintained with state power and that the government is always benevolent.

While that's unfortunate for them, we don't want state-based totalitarianism spreading to formerly free territories, especially given that China promised no major changes to the basic rights of HK until 2047. While even agreeing to an end date was a mistake by the British, HKers must fight back now if they hope to maintain their freedoms perpetually. The chips are stacked against them but I hope for the best.

 

Use common sense. Avoid politics involving China. It’s that simple. That’s the third rail of doing business in China.

With the timing of the trade negotiations Thursday and Friday and additional Chinese companies being added to the blacklist, the nba ban was a victim of tit for tat retaliation.

I would not be surprised if multi national companies are drafting new rules of conduct specifically for China that prohibit politics in the work force.

Fedex got involved with Huawei’s blacklisting by routing packages with China destinations to Memphis. Now anytime there are negative trade headlines, Fedex takes a big hit because it has a huge target on its back.

China’s market is too big to avoid. Morality has never stopped corporate boards from chasing shareholder value. Staying silent on China’s politics is the path of least resistance.

 

My bad...thought this is in China. No one would be dump enough to play that fire.

 

He should have been ejected. Maybe even roughed up a little once they got him outside.

 

Nope.

The NBA has spent the last 20 years pretending that it has principles and core values and promoted equality, freedom and tolerance.
They also promoted the right of free speech of the players.

The NBA it's not a business that sells just a good to consumers, it is entertainment and has an IMAGE to sell.

If you want to be the world's sport you have to be ready to face the world's politics. Simple as that.

 

Different country, different rules. Nba is still free to pursue the core values as long as it doesn't involve the Chinese government. Just don't step on the third rail.

 

When you promote a social progressive environment and actively encourage freedom of speech to young men , you only have YOURSELF to blame when your employers talk against human right violations, that affect your wallet.

Too bad.


And lol at thinking it is just China.

If the NBA had so heavily invested in India we would have a worst situation last year, when Durant said that it's a dumpster country where everyone just ***** in the streets.

 

Fake news.

Philly cheese fans only care about santa Claus and cheese steak...mmmm chheesesteak

 

He probably became a fan for the sake of Yao or Lin - and then stuck with the team... but doesnt have a particular love for the city of Houston itself (if he's ever even been to Houston)... so according to @tinman he's a 'fake fan'...

(PS I know its a ridiculous assertion to make given the guy is risking jail time, etc... but thats the criteria @tinman laid out... to which I disagree... sure he's risking jail time - but heck, the dudes prob not even a 99er... lmao )

 

I go on a case by case basis if they are fake fans

for example, those who had like 2 posts in 2006 and suddenly show up in 2019 talking non stop about Morey is a fake fan

you don't know my criteria cause 99ers are more complex and of superior intellect
the criteria is not possible for you cause you weren't chosen like us
@Rocket River

 

Remember apartheid South Africa?

 

Can you explain why in April 2019, so many country leaders decided not to participate/withdraw from the "one belt one road" meeting in Beijing, China?
