China cancels NBA stuff / Silver issues statement (pg1) /Ongoing discussion...

He isnt the most eloquent but he has the right idea, especially as it pertains to those in the media. At the end he called them all out on the one humanitarian stance they cant take on TV.

This is simplifying it...but it was actually more courageous than any stance taken by people in these threads or other media.

Quite a few nba personalities were just exposed as total frauds.

Indeed. I'm done with two of my favorite podcasts, forever (they are two of the most popular ones). Some of the takes on Morey's tweet were downright disgusting. As though he, and not the CCP, had committed an atrocity. The podcasters who painted the situation in this light will never be on my playlist again.

On the other hand, Nate Duncan's take probably made him my favorite NBA podcaster for the rest of time. He'll probably even end up with some of my money at some point. He had the most clear, reasonable, and principled response I've heard from an NBA person so far.

Most commentators were somewhere in between. I have no problem with people staying silent about the situation, but if you're going to take a side, maybe don't take the side of, literally, murderers.

I was disappointed with Stephen A Smith for his comments on this

Guys, I promise you, it's not the CPC applying pressure here. It's just the increasing number of reports.

I'm taking this topic behind the barn and shoot it.

I'll open a fresh one to continue the discussion without the risk of discussion being really derailed by some of the posts in the last page or two.
