I boycotted NBA over the Hong Kong incident.   Maybe I’ll watch this year.  Watched a ton of baseball.  And fair amount of football.  The games bring some escape.  We (or at least I) need that.

Yeah, that was a weird bit of sycophancy by the NBA. I don’t have an issue with NBA stars protesting police brutality in the US, not so I expect the league to protest Chinese autocracy. But the league rolling over after the CCP’s protest about what an NBA GM accurately commented about what happened in China was sickening.

Watching noted vocal progressive Steve Kerr roll over for China was particularly nauseating, second only to his prevaricating on the reasons why he flopped on his back to show his belly.

At this point in time, it is not a good look for the US to lecture other countries on freedom of speech. The US needs to focus on getting its own house in order to have legitimacy with other cultures. In that sense, Kerr struck the right sense of modesty.
