Ben Simmons should get one with “FREE PISS” emblazoned on it. It’d sell like hot cakes down here.

I could’ve heard it wrong but I think the players have a smaller number of slogans to choose from, but were banned from having anything that China didn’t want- like free Hong Kong.

Free Hong Kong NBA jersey: NBA Store reveals why the China related jersey name was banned

There's nothing particularly retrograde about trying to court the NIMBY vote.

"Don't vote for them as they won't stop the boats or will put a safe injecting room/ social housing/ Skyrail next door" sound familiar?

Maybe the Trumpster is a little (lot) less subtle in his messaging but it's still pretty much the same message.

All these dumb arse motherf***ers will be lining up to buy these with zero thought their movement is being hijacked, think of a the extra $$$$. Let alone they all wear Nike sh*t sewn together by child exploitation.

It’s Catch-22 with the “capitalism on steroids” model that exists in the USA now. The best you can hope for is that the money is “following the trend”, rather than the other way round. There is a time-honoured code that states you get your own house in order before you start attacking other people. It could be argued, to a degree, that that’s what at play in regard to China. The looming Cold War between US and China will change things up, you’d think.

You have a higher opinion then of them then me. It’s all about the dollar bills IMO.

China is heading for a Cold War with everyone.

Anyone else see the custom singlets the NBA is putting out? You can get some real some real f’ed up stuff on their like death to Police and all sorts of anti US political stuff on there. BUT....you can not write Free Hong Kong. Get your head around that.

Ok this is what I was on about. You can order your own with all kinds of foul shit on the back, you can choose it yourself but you can’t get ‘Free Hong Kong’.

Give it a whirl

NBA Bans Custom 'FreeHongKong' Jerseys, Allows 'Burn Jews' And 'KillCops'

The NBA online store is happy to pawn off merchandise with any number of activist slogans, so long as they don't offend the Communist Party of China.

It’s not a matter of my opinion of them, Val, it’s just based on my hope. It’s either that or wholesale global warfare and all that that entails.

The truly sordid story of how Britain originally got control of Hong Kong (Opium Wars) must rank right up there with the greatest shames of the British Empire.

They were nasty pricks.

Ireland lost almost a quarter of its population during the potato famine years due to starvation, diseases associated with malnutrition and emigration. All the while produce exports from Ireland to England increased. This was a somewhat hands off ethnic cleansing.

They were awful. They’ve done the foulest shit to just about everyone.

All good, though - Tony Blair apologised to us for that.

Is there a transcript of this? I can read a lot faster than they can talk.

That's probably a more politically biased panel than if he had Iceberg Slim, Bobby Seale, Young Malcolm X, Elijah Mohammad and Nat Turner fwiw but some of those guys are very interesting. Wood, Hughes and McWhorter specifically. There are interesting debates in the black community and have been for years about a lot of stuff to do with slavery, repetitions and the history of racism in the US.

The sooner we become a republic the better and get that rubbish off our flag

Makes sense. Conventional wisdom stipulates ghettos dont work and its more sensible to intergrate social housing in normal neighborhoods. So trump advercates the opposite. Whos genuinely surprised here?
