We should all teach our children the following very valuable lessons: 1. when you are unhappy or want to be somewhere else, you should fake the severity of an injury and then go through 11 doctor

No, we want them to be consistent and not be hypocrites. I would prefer that they shut up and dribble, shoot, pitch, hit, tackle or kick but if you are going to be “woke”, don’t stop being woke only

LeBron's team trying to trademark the term "Taco Tuesday." C'mon man. You can't move to California, eat ground beef from those pre-packaged hard shells once a week, and try to claim that shit.

yeah with this and Tom Brady trying to trademark "Tom Terrific" they are really tripping

At least Tom Terrific has been used in direct reference to Brady. Still pretty douchey to try to trademark something that was around before he was born and belonged to another pro athlete long before his career started. But when someone says Tom Terrific today, most people think of Brady. Ain't no one has ever said "It's Taco Tuesday!" and thought of LeBron James.

Yeah, he has flamed out on his last 6 teams now.   I honestly hope he finally understands but until he does I won't really believe it.    That said, they gave up nothing to get him and his deal will be non-guaranteed so there is almost no risk.   He can be dumped any time he gets out of line.     He should know that this is his last chance at being a part of a winning team.    Hope he has finally figured it out.

It's the same situation that the Rockets entered into with Carmelo. I bet it lasts as long as Carmelo did. Dwight is never changing.

Has to be at least 95%. Which is also crazy to think about. Where the fuck does the money come from?

exactly, if it's free, wth?  I guess there are some degenerates who are dumb enough to pay the fees - but there are server and IT operating costs, not to mention paying the girls. Hmm...

You don't have to pay the girls much. They're all amateurs who are filming a porn for the first time. Unless the internet has been lying to me.

I think the money is in the cam girls and Snapchat girls now. It’s like $50 for a handful of 30 second videos with a Snapchat chick. No doubt they are paying referrals to the pron site.  I know that pornhub did an AMA on Reddit a year or so ago. I think I remember the question being asked on how they made money. I can’t remember the details but they were open about how they did. 

 

Just found the AMA. It’s from 2015 and they were the 60th most trafficked site back then. One question asked about traffic and the response was “the other day we had more people on our site during the day than the entire population of Canada.”

Honestly, I completely understand Fertitta's position: he's the owner of a company, and that company's bottom line comes before politics and the moral high ground. That's capitalism, for better or worse. But don't fucking chastise your GM in public for stating the obvious and thus come off sounding like you're perfectly cool with human rights' violations. Go to him privately, have him delete the tweet, and let people speculate all they want about why he did so.

And now this dog and pony show making Morey apologize for being a decent human being. Fucking embarrassing.

It's not just Fertitta; I'm sure Adam Silver peed in his diapers when he heard about Morey's tweet.

This episode shows how hypocritical the whole NBA is - "hey world, look at how woke we are...except when something happens that may affect our bottom line."

I hope Popovich comes out blasts Silver and the NBA for this.

Morey is just playing 4D chess.  He knows his POS boss will probably fire him soon to try and make amends and make back some money. 

Now he gets to skip out of town and get another job before the Westbrook - Harden hail mary predictably doesn't end in a title, let alone multiple titles, before it all goes to shit and he would be fired anyway.

You do business with bad guys, you shouldn't punish people for saying they're bad guys.  Morey didn't even criticize the NBA's business interests in China nor China's regime in specifics.  He supported a movement for basic human rights.  The NBA should shut it's pie hole and hope they don't get crushed in the realm of public opinion.  And yes, Adam Silver or one of his lackeys absolutely has their hands on this.

One solution, and I'm just spitballing here, is not do business with bad guys?
