News and commentary: progress in work
On FNC’s The Ingraham Angle, Laura Ingraham, along with Fox Sports’ Clay Travis, double-teamed the super-woke and sanctimonious National Basketball Association and the sneaker giant Nike for caving to the dictatorship in China while at the same time lecturing America about its shortcomings.
National Basketball Association players and coaches have hardly been shy about cataloging America’s sins or condemning U.S. President Donald Trump for his failings. When it comes China’s rampant human rights abuses, however, the woke NBA has suffered a collective case of laryngitis.
Lots of National Basketball Association players head to China in the off season. It’s not just for the extra appearance cash; the sneaker companies tell them to just do it, as it were. NBA players sign enormous contracts with the athletic shoe companies, and brand marketing is part of the deal. The NBA, the shoe companies, and China’s state-controlled economy are closely linked.
If you’re a regular Shark Tank viewer, you’ve probably seen the Sharks pressure entrepreneurs to move their made-in-the-USA products to China to improve margins. That’s kind of the Wall Street hedge fund, crony capitalist mentality. American industry and the American worker be damned.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam has announced the city/state’s government has withdrawn an extradition bill that prompted weeks of massive street protests. “The bill, which would have allowed extraditions to mainland China, where courts are controlled by the Communist Party, first sparked protests in March, which escalated dramatically in June,” the New York Post explained. Lam has rejected four other demands from pro-democracy protesters, however.
