I guess people disagreeing with you also would have had no problem continuing to support Penn State football after the Sandusky revelations/organizational cover-up because fOoTbAlL iS fUn. Not quite the same thing. If I wanted to watch college football ~~and be disappointed by the Wolverines~~, I could do that and just not watch Penn St. games. Having the integrity of the entire professional league in doubt means no pro basketball, period. Thats a big thing to give up for some people, especially if the mindset kicks in of my decision not to watch wont matter in the scheme of things, so why deny myself something I like? I wont be watching the NBA, but my call isnt very relevant since I only watched a few games a year anyway. Outside of LeBron and Joe Tsai of the Brooklyn Nets who have explicitly stated their support for China, how is this any different than like, literally any of the other entertainment or products that you consume? If you cant ethically consume the product of the NBA because of the influence of Chinese money and market, how is that any different than the multitudes of other companies that depend on the Chinese market? Nike, Apple, every video game company owned by Tencent. Are you cutting all of that out too? <cite>Hannyabal posted [p:928843130] in really don...
