"LeBron James Sold Out"-Max Kellerman

[DonKnock]

Why no animosity towards Steve Kerr or Greg Popovich comments about this issue?

Or Adam Silver?


But it is only Lebron that is worried about his money?

I made a thread about Steve Kerr and it got merged into some other thread

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Lebron speaks up on Black issues that directly impact his community such as police killing unarmed blacks. That’s always been his focus, so unless he ignores that for the mighty dollar he didn’t sell out. Let China/Hong Kong sort out there problems.

LeBron on Tamir Rice: 'Issue is bigger than me'

Obviously Turkey is a much smaller market, but the league has backed Kanter’s ability to speak out against their government on a much much higher level that what Morey did.

Did Kanter lose millions and potentially billions of dollars for the league

LeBron on Tamir Rice: 'Issue is bigger than me'

And for that he deserved every bit of criticism he got.

Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow, both 22, and Nathan Law, 26, are three of the leaders of Demosisto, a pro-democracy youth activist group in Hong Kong that has been on the front lines of the protests. Wong and Law were among several people sentenced to jail in 2017 for their role in the Umbrella Movement, another wave of pro-democracy protests in 2014 led in large part by college students. But they haven’t let their previous run-ins with the law stop them from supporting this summer’s protests.

Many of the leaders of Hong Kong's protests are millennials—here's why they're taking action

Hong Kong protests: Activists received training from Oslo Freedom Forum

Published on Jun 21, 2019
Trained demonstrators' However, far from being impromptu demonstrations, it is an open secret at this meeting in Norway that plans were hatched for the demonstrations nearly two years ago. The ideas was to use non-violent action as a "weapon of mass destruction" to challenge the Chinese government. Organisers prepared a plan to persuade 10,000 people on to the streets, to occupy roads in central Hong Kong, back in January 2013. They believed that China's moves to control the Hong Kong election would provide a flashpoint where civil disobedience could be effective, and planned accordingly. Their strategies were not just to plan the timing and nature of the demonstrations, but also how they would be run. BBC Newsnight has been told many of those involved in the demonstrations, perhaps more than 1,000 of them, have been given specific training to help make the campaign as effective as possible.

Joshua Wong meets with Sen. Marco Rubio in Washington on May 8, 2017

NDI and NED relationship with the Demosisto Party in the link

Democracy’s National Democratic Institute (NDI) maintains a close relationship with Demosistō, the political party Wong founded in 2016 with fellow Umbrella movement alumnus Nathan Law.

More funding:

As journalist Alex Rubinstein reported, the Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor, a key member of the coalition that organized against the now-defunct extradition law, has received more than $2 million in NED funds since 1995. And other groups in the coalition reaped hundreds of thousands of dollars from the NED and NDI last year alone.

While US lawmakers nominate Hong Kong protest leaders for peace prizes and pump their organizations with money to “promote democracy,” the demonstrations have begun to spiral out of control.

Relationship Rubio and others

In September 2017, Rubio, Ben Cardin, Tom Cotton, Sherrod Brown, and Cory Gardner signed off on a letter to Wong, Law and fellow anti-China activist Alex Chow, praising them for their “efforts to build a genuinely autonomous Hong Kong.” The bipartisan cast of senators proclaimed that “the United States cannot stand idly by.”

A year later, Rubio and his colleagues nominated the trio of Wong, Law, and Chow for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize.

Yall really mad at this man for not only protecting his money, but other players around the league?

Besides it ain't like anybody from Hongkong cares about black people's issues.
