Is there where u try to gaslight all of us again and try to convince us your a conservative?

Just cause u like to shoot your gun doesn’t make you one of us.

Go play with the libs and stop pretending your a conservative. It’s just embarrassing for you at this point.

I love when reality crashes down to earth. The best part is the irony...in his corrected statement. He's claiming Morey was not considerate of others in his tweet supporting democracy for Hong Kong...and by others, he means Lebron's bank account, obviously not the people of Hong Kong. You couldn't look like more of a selfish jackass.

This is getting crazy. As things escalate between Hong Kong and China, public relations are becoming a nightmare for corporations that want access to Chinese markets. Here is a primer to catch you up:

Last week South Park destroyed Chinese censorship in an episode called Band in China, and they've been subsequently banned in China (can't believe this didn't already happen).

This past weekend, Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted "Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong." which resulted in all hell breaking loose in China. Basketball is the most popular sport there and the NBA is huge, but they're now canceling TV contracts etc. Since then, the Rockets (China's unofficial team), including Morey, have been expressing love and admiration for China and offering every kind of apology they can come up with.

The NBA front office initially took a position on the fence but ultimately endorsed free speech.

Now we have Blizzard, a CA based video game producer banning an e-sports pro from Hong Kong and taking away his prize money after supporting Hong Kong protesters. They've also ended a relationship with Taiwanese streamers who interviewed him.

Blizzard Entertainment Bans Esports Player After Pro-Hong Kong Comments

The Rockets are cowards. I'm pleasantly surprised by the NBA, considering how much they stand to lose. Blizzard can go **** themselves and die a horrible death. And of course, as always, South Park is the most punk rock.

Its very simple. Nike owns the NBA and has contracts in place with all the top stars. The NBA and these stars will be on whatever side Nike tells them to be on. Nike is on the side on China because China can buy more shoes and jerseys than Hong Kong. How do you like politics now LeBron? Way to stand up to them bro?

Youre correct. The irony is the best part.
