🏀 2019-2020 NBA SEASON ⛹🏽‍♂️

LeBron was being a mega moron, although who knows if his sponsors put him to it.

Silver has been treading as careful as he could. He knows this isn't just implications in his own business that is the NBA and associated brands, but overall US relations. Like he knows he could accidentally be the center/catalyst of a war if he says the wrong thing. He can't own doing something like that.

It's difficult. China just isn't some country you can tell to go f*** themselves.

Especially when you're bought and paid for by them!

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski apologizes for sending profane email to Missouri Senator Josh Hawley

Adrian Wojnarowski used his ESPN account to send the email.

On Friday, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley sent a letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver asking why the NBA won’t allow phrases like “Support Our Troops” and “Back the Blue” on their jerseys in 2020.

Hours later, Hawley tweeted out a screenshot of an email in which ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski used his ESPN account to respond to Hawley’s press release with, “F—- you.”

ESPN is particularly horrible all on it own. Even before the lockdowns, they've been pulling stuff out of their asses just to pass time, somehow the masses of casual sports fandom eat into it. Deliberately unintelligible takes and "analysis", Stephen A just blowing up in attempt of theatrics because people sadly find that entertaining. Skip Bayless and Shannon have a way better show on Fox, even though they also get stuck with stupid discussion topics. It's not ESPN's responsibility to necessarily be educational to any extent, but it's such a waste of time. The more mundane/lesser known personalities are the only worthwhile watches because they're assigned to just give you the news straight. I don't need ****ing garbage opinions.

Woj is a polarizing figure. Can find the truth faster and more reliably than anyone else on planet earth, but seems to typically be a miss in expressing opinions and analysis.

Woj got his anti-American feelings hurt because a sitting Congressman dared ask the Chinese Basketball Association about supporting, wait for it, the military and the police. Omg, the horror!!!

Liberals are the absolute worst!

Can't even remember the last time I saw anything on ESPN. And I haven't seen one NBA game since Kobe retired. So easy for me to turn my back on these anti-American supporters. My answer to them is highlighted two posts above.

Well, this is basketball and not a political thread.....
That saying, i am not too hyped about the return of nba this season, it just doesn’t feel normal to me tbh.
