I think one of the issues is that they are willing to take the check from China, yet claim they need to learn more on this situation. Hard to say you know them well enough to profit from, but not enough to comment. Not stating my opinion on anything, it's what I'm observing.
Please explain what you mean here. My point had to do with whether Kerr's statement was taken out of context or not. I think it very clearly was not out of context.
And my opinion is all sides and all involved have SOME valid points - and can all be true at the same time. I lived in China for 7 years, my wife is Chinese, and I love China. Saying it is complicated is an understatement.
Heres your issue though, I mostly agree with Kerr on Gun Control and Trump. The problem is all that free speech he loves to tout, he seems 100% unwilling to speak out against a government who has stripped that right from 1.3 billion people. The Im not educated enough to talk about it thing just comes across as an excuse to deflect to the topics that have no ramifications for him. Your saying his Brother in law is a professor in Chinese studies works against you, as then he should KNOW about Chinese government, what excuse does he have to “not be educated on it”. I just think the NBA’s and Kerrs response rubs me the wrong way.
He literally spoke the next freaking day. This is some kinda of dystopian reality we are living in when this kind of stuff gets shamed.
That sounds like you assuming his position for him. I have never found Kerr to be subversive - and I am willing to take it at his word that he has things that are important to him and he is willing to talk about them. That's absolutely fair and reasonable.
He said NOTHING about china all he said was president trump sucks and gun control issues. Go to the thing sly posted and tell me where he actually addressed China...?
Yeah which is why it rubs me the wrong way he’s never been shy to say stuff on other subjects whether he’s educated or not on the subject but when theres a ton of money at stake its lets talk about these other issues instead. Now its fair to talk about issues your passionate about, and say no comment to the other stuff, but the Im not educated on the subject thing for something like this, just dont buy it. Others might and thats fine, we can agree to disagree. In fact, I’ll still watch NBA games because Im not really offended by it, I just dont believe that is why he wont address it.
A lot of people in this thread basically proving Kerr's point here. This is why I refrain from talking about politics.
The UK had a 99 year lease with China for Hong Kong. We didn't have a lease for Manhattan, we bought it.
