It’s entertaining, and the players and league do appear to have a more diplomatic
relationship than other leagues. However, there is this big fat elephant in the room: CHINA. No other league is in bed with China

The league sent a memo to players stating that players were not allowed
to put phrases on their jerseys that showed support for Hong Kong while in the bubble. And no player made any statements regarding the civil unrest that is taking place there.
It’s a tremendously bad look and it is very hypocritical.

The organization is constantly professing that the nba platform will also be used to fight against social injustice and police brutality, but it does business with a semi-communistic government who is committing those very same crimes that they are allegedly fighting against. The NBA as a whole has turned a blind eye in order to maintain the enormous revenue that it gets from China.

They are basically saying that money and business relations are more important than the human rights of all people. The NBA is a league consisting of players who come from many different parts of the world.

And what does that say about the players, and their constant talk about equality and human rights? They scream about striking and boycotting, and not supporting organizations or businesses who support the police or who support trump. However, they continue to do business with China and play in a league that does business with China.

If Muhammad Ali were a NBA basketball player, he would not stand for it.

So yes the league is very entertaining....but they have some serious issues - that are veiled - that other leagues don’t have.
