From CBS:
I really hope for LeBron’s sake that he’s happy with his blood money from China, because he’s managed to piss off the United States and Hong Kong in his obsequiousness to a regime that has killed more human beings than any other government since the reign of Genghis Kahn.
I have come to the conclusion the NBA and NFL don’t want my money. I am polite enough to honor their desires.
Although I may get some tickets for seats that will be in the TV shots for our local loser franchise and show up with friends and Free Tibet and Free Hong Kong signs.
I thought it ironic that the NBA Security confiscated the google Uighurs signs at the Wizards game as the “Star Spangled Banner” was playing. I think the protesters missed a golden opportunity though. They should have re-enacted the Dave Carlson and Referee scene from “Slapshot!” “I’m listening to the f%#>ing song!”

I don’t think most people will get the “30 pieces of silver” reference. Americans are not that literary.
