Breitbart: A North Carolina congressman accuses the NBA of hypocrisy for pulling their 2017 All-Star Game from North Carolina but pursuing preseason games in China.
“I think it’s going to end up harming them,” Representative Robert Pittenger explains to Breitbart Sports about the NBA’s stance. “There are millions of people who are disgusted with them. There’s nothing consistent, sincere, thoughtful, or reasonable about their approach.”

Last week, I met with constituents from China who outlined the Chinese government practice of forcefully harvesting vital organs as part of their oppression of religious minorities. Meanwhile, the NBA will start selling tickets for preseason games in China next week.
Is the NBA implying that China’s abhorrent violation of basic human rights is acceptable, but North Carolina saying men shouldn’t use the girl[s’] locker room is a bridge too far? What is the NBA’s true priority? The unmistakable hypocrisy is clear to me.
AWD can count the number of NBA games I’ve watched over the past decade on zero fingers. Well, maybe one. The middle finger!

Two can play the game. (Heh – – game.) Boycott the NBA allstar game at its new location.
I’m losing interest in pro sports in general. The fun is gone.
Unfortunately, my wife is an avid Utah Jazz fan. She watches it constantly during the season.
I stopped watching the NBA after the last lockout when these thugs were willing to go play overseas and risk getting injured… for less money, all while holding out for more money. Ridiculous. I miss the days of Bird and McHale. The NBA has become a joke… and proven corrupt.
Last NBA game I attended the Washington team was called the Bullets. But that hit too close to home so they renamed it to the Faggots or something.
Don’t care. All star games are a joke. NBA is a joke. NBA All star game is a joke of s joke.
