Something To Which NBA Athletes Can Stand and be Respectful Toward (?)
Yo, Van Guny, put this on your Nike sneakers
“On Thursday, Stan van Gundy, the former head Coach for the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, and Miami Heat, who now serves as an NBA analyst for TNT and NBA TV, issued a vicious attack on America in response to an article ripping the NBA that stated, “When National Hockey League games used to turn into brawls, the joke was ‘I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out.’ Now you can tune into a social justice protest and a Chinese Basketball Association game might break out.” Gundy apparently didn’t like that.
“Chinese Basketball Association” To be clear…it used to be known as the “National (USA) Basketball Association”
Will the ‘patriotic’ folks at Nike soon introduce the PRC Flag basketball shoe in time for the 71st anniversary?
(On 1 October 1949, Mao Zedong – or Chairman Mao – announced the formation of the PRC (the “Peoples’ Republic of China), after communist forces won a bloody civil war.)
What a great opportunity for Nike and the NBA to help Xi JinPing celebrate this occasion. An opportunity to further ingratiate their entities with the Chinese communists and thus insure making $millions more!
Kaepernick, Nike, and the NBA rejected the Betsy Ross USA Flag on Nike shoes. Understandable. The thing all three have in common is their rejection of America and individual freedom.
For Nike and the NBA, there’s money to be made in Communist China…Colin and LeBron can appreciate that! dlh

“Listening to somebody (Kaepernick) that has helped the brand in so many countless ways, it makes sense. It would be completely hypocritical for them not to listen to him,” Allieri said.
Nike’s annual sales jumped 7% to more than $39 billion in the aftermath of their repudiation of America and its iconic symbol.
