Lebron James has a $1billion (with a B) contract with Nike China. Taking a stand on human rights violations goes just so far when it comes to money. Meanwhile China is blocking all Celtic games and Enes Kanter is getting limited minutes and there are reports he will get released and blackballed by the league to appease China.
Did you know that Taiwan is not worth going to war against China (and likely Russia) for? I wouldn't allow my child to go fight that war. It doesn't matter what practices Taiwan has. Hong Kong had a few, too. They are Chinese and will follow the track of Hong Kong.
Who said anything about going to war? Do you think Enes Kanter has a right to express his opinion? The NBA, Lebron James and PRC don't think so.
@barjoe China said something about it. The issue is irrelevant if Taiwan becomes Hong Kong II so Kanter's opinion is irrelevant. If we are actually dumb enough to go to war for Taiwan then it's likely even more irrelevant. If we have no intention of actually doing it then we need to say sorry and try to part the closest of friends.
Add it to the list of reasons to boycott the upcoming Olympics.
