Apparently the NBA isn’t so “woke” after all. They have no problem with hack coaches like Steve Kerr or Gregg PoppaZit bash American legal gun owners, or Trump or anyone who isn’t a leftist. But when it comes to China, they cowtail to the Chinese communists like it was their parents re something. The NBA is now silencing it’s players from speaking at alll during the rest of the NBA exhibition series in China because it’s “complicated” or something. NBA players are supposed to represent the USA, not China, but apparently they are confused. The NBA needs an NFL style boycott.

The NBA’s China controversy continues to grow as the basketball organization has now canceled media access to players while they are visiting the communist nation.
On Friday, the NBA released a statement saying that allowing press to continue to ask questions put players in a “complicated” and “unfair” position.
“They [the teams] have been placed into a complicated and unprecedented situation while abroad and we believe it would be unfair to ask them to address these matters in real time,” the statement said, according to CNN.
NBA teams are currently in China to compete for Chinese fans. On Thursday, CNN reporter Christina Macfarlane attempted to ask players James Harden and Russell Westbrook about Chinese censorship. The Daily Wire’s Amanda Prestigiacomo reported that as Macfarlane asked her question, her microphone was taken away and she was scolded by a team representative.
