The cross-section of pro-Hong Kong and Blue Lives Matter is like one guy, and I get what he’s saying about censorship, but to put those movements in the same breath is impossible because you can’t talk and breathe with your mouth at the same time

There's a bunch of conservative pro-HK but mostly because it's anti CPC. And they don't actually care that much either way (which is the default position of, like, most people in the US).

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

Why would you possibly give the benefit of the doubt to a Republican senator who is very obviously using a bad-faith argument to air his actual grievances, which are with the NBA making even token efforts to say Black Lives Matter and be critical of the police
There's no benefit of doubt involved; they're both masterclass shitheads. It's a bad faith argument, but it's one Hawley can deploy to highlight hypocrisy and that's ammo and Twitter chuds will eat it up like candy, especially when Hawley can screenshot an email and put that in a Tweet.

I was waiting for some Right wing politician to use that bait, but I thought it would be Cruz or Rick Scott.

He's, obviously, not wrong for supporting BLM and Hawley's, obviously, not right for being against it.

TFPIT Woj is an loving idiot for walking into blatantly obvious trap in manner that would make Wiley Coyote look thoughtful and careful.

Everytime this comes up I cant believe Haslem is in the league, but thats probably because he has only played a total of 40 games over the last 4 seasons

It's less about giving Josh Hawley the benefit of the doubt and more about Woj being a loving eejit because he fell head-first into the most obvious trap of all time.

The whole point of a politician like him making noise about China isn't because he's actually angry about the human rights abuses there, but because he was just waiting for someone with any importance to send him a message like that. What China is doing to Hong Kong, the Uighurs, and its citizens is disgusting, but I think most of us know that Hawley wouldn't give a poo poo if the Chinese government had a positive economic relationship with the United States.

I was going to vote Democrat but then I saw that the NBA scoops master genrral Adrian Wojnoroski was a hypocrite on human rights abuses in China and said no sir, this is a bridge too far.

To me the people who would see this "trap" as some sort of win for their side are already irredeemable.

What the US is doing to Puerto Rico, Native Americans, Black and Brown people is disgusting.

Secretly they are high fiving at the ESPN head quarters about that F-bomb. No one gives a gently caress about a white prep school senator in this day and age.

But more importantly, gently caress capitalism, nationalize ESPN.

It's not about changing votes, it's about stirring up your supporters for money, appearances, or sometimes even direct counter-action. It's worked like a charm during any sort of gun control conversation, and even recently with the Armed Michigan group that stormed the capital. "Blue Lives Matter" is just another buzzer to keep that hatred fueled.

NBA is an easy target for this stuff.

That makes sense but is Woj's "gently caress you " really bulletin board material? I guess I feel like even in the absence of real fuel they just invent it anyway so why should Woj miss out on telling a senator to gently caress off

Does anyone in this thread think the bubble plan will work? I don't see how they get to October (let alone August) without the bubble being compromised.

I believe the bubble will work. I just had a vision that aliens will land in a spacecraft and deliver 7,800,000,000 vaccine shots to cure us all.

Not many are even talking about the logistical (and economic) nightmare it'll be to roll out a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine to the entire planet (if a vaccine is even discovered). And its level of efficacy remains to be seen.

This restart is going to be such a drag and the ‘champion’ that is crowned will forever hold the most hollow victory.

What should have happened is this season should have been scrapped, and combined with next season. Let the draft play out. Let trades still occur. One mega season to rule them all. The victors forged in fire, with team mates lost and new ones found.

They could sell the hell out of something like that.

Two rings. Dual championships.

Maybe cancel next season too and have a three ring championship in 2022. LBJ gets hits threepeat.
