Like I always said, if you own a public business that is widely popular, why take any risks and go outside of your business sense to comment on national or global political issues. It does not make good business sense at all and is a little selfish by the person doing it to be honest.
They didn't mind offending half the country by sliming the President and bullying a state over letting grown men into women's bathrooms. They wallowed in their virtue signaling and the media lauded them. Suddenly they have to be careful when china is involved. What we have done is to allow China to impose its repression on our own country. Way to go LeBron, you're some role model.
Cons: How dare the NBA give in to China over their athletes' freedom of expression? Also cons: How dare the NFL keep athletes employed over their athletes' freedom of expression?
I'd wish Ildar Sharipov continued his sports teams sponsorship programs. More contracts by such independent companies, that would be better.
Comments: Fleetwood Factor • a day ago Why doesn't the Lying Media give Kantor Freedom the same amount of respect that they give Kaepernick? Auwtsnae Fleetwood Factor • a day ago • edited NBC is owned by Comcast, which also owns Universal Studios. Universal Studios has been heavily investing in China, competing there with Disney which also owns ABC. Cash Over Country. Profits Before Patriotism. Profits before Human Rights. Auwtsnae Auwtsnae • a day ago CNN is owned by WarnerMedia which is owned by AT&T. According to AT&T, they have been doing business in China for more than 30 years. And, where do you think all those electronics that AT&T's subsidiaries market are made? China. Cash Over Country. Profits Before Patriotism. Profits before Human Rights. And yet we buy crap tons of it. It's the citizens. It's always the citizens. We let it happen. karydm FourthHorseman • 6 hours ago We have ALLOWED The murder of 63,000,000 of our citizens and are still going.
