I have broken clean from the New York Times, NBA, ESPN, Twitter, etc.. all these super biased immoral / unethical outlets that are amplifying a minority of mentally ill control freaks

People are tuning this garbage out in higher and higher numbers and getting the truth from more and more powerful sources online free of woke propaganda. I just don't bother with the sports that push this insanity anymore, NBA is right at the bottom of my crap list

Asians are the new Whites. You do know that there is more institutional Racism against Asians in this country than any other group, right? Just look at the law suit against Harvard for allowing unqualified Blacks in over very, very qualified Asians. Just one example.

Did you look at her profile?

She’s not passing for “white.”


To the second point, if what you say about discrimination against Asians is true, then that’s all the more reason for her to be protesting, wouldn’t you say?

I don't follow tennis, nor any Pro, nor College sports anymore due to the inclusion of politics. I did not know who she was either. I could only assume she was Asian from her name.

Never said she did. It is obvious from her name she is Asian

Not even close to the same thing. It is the Liberal/Progressive institutions like colleges and universities and the Media to a degree that are prejudiced against Asians, not corporate America, nor Government.

She isn’t just Asian though. She’s half Asian, half Black. Haitian-Japanese American. She just uses her moms maiden name to let her be a Japanese citizen.


She’s also extremely famous beating Serena Williams to win her first grand slam and Japan’s first Grand Slam. She’s well known here and in Japan as one of their top Athletes and used to be ranked first in the female sport. She’s currently 10th but one of the youngest in the top 10 players at just 22.

Good way to drive away the 1/3 actively opposed and the 1/3 who have zero care.

I wonder if they know they are making Trump commercials for him.
Each time an athlete or Team pulls out if a Competition.... it IS a Forfeit
These SJW Millionaire Elites think they will still get paid while they Forfeit.

Continuing to live without these sports until the athletes involved get their heads straight and realize their appeal is entirely based on their athletic ability and not their ideology will be very easy. Threatening to boycott is no threat at all as far as I am concerned and I doubt I'm alone in that.
In the Real World - Normal People recognize these are NOT Boycotts
These Millionaire Elite Athletes have gone on STRIKE - but they still think they will be Paid.

It won’t work out well for them.
