And wait, I bet the NBA will have a word with Enes Kanter about his words. The NBA won't allow anything bad to be said about China. Because if they do, they lose air time over there, as you can see. They decided to take down a Celtics game because Enes Kanter called China's leader Xi a "Brutal Dictator" and I agree with them 100%.

All the NBA cares about is money. They don't care how awful China is to their own citizens. The fact that NBA, and companies like Disney and others are so hell bent at protecting their relationship with China is quite sad to me. China is a dictatorship. Think they care about their citizens?

Now, I wonder if Kanter will somehow be fined for this. I don't think the NBA can do anything about this, because if they do, it will draw backlash in the states. So to me I think the NBA is stuck here. They can't agree with Kanter, but they also can't fine Kanter for his freedom of speech.

    This is liberal grand standing, the NBA is 90% Black American which is a population the USA continues to murder, arrest, and disenfranchise to this current day. If the writer gave a FUCK about human life they would be castigating the NBA for doing business with a brutal dictator like Biden who wrote the crime bill and put a vax mandate out.

    White supremacists dont respect borders or sovereignty. Why should China allow people to talk shit about their country and their leader? Is Biden not doing the same thing by censoring anyone that says anything against the vaccines?
