Wait what? It's easily the worst GTA. So much pointless moving around... The whole eating an exercise component was a total time sink. The map was pointlessly large so much of it was empty space. Not rollin. Vice City is the best GTA

GTA V my favorite video game ever. Story was flawless and being able to switch characters was a game changer

what we fail to rea;ize is that there are millions upon millions in china who don't stand with Hong Kong & don't view what there doing as something positive.

They.....can't. Like actually can't. For those who secretly do it would ruin their lives if they admit it.
For those who don't, they've never been allowed see it any other way. That's kind of how dictatorships work...

dig this, he has done a lot of good things and that can't ever be negated, but those contributions don't give him immunity from criticism. any wealthy person can throw money at some philanthropic project while making themselves look good in the process, but those contributions aren't a shield.

I don’t think this is the issue at all. Morey decided to speak up about some cause he apparently cares enough about to tweet. Bron’s response was to say morey is uninformed and should not have tweeted. It’s so wack to me when someone’s response to another person voicing their opinion on an issue is to tell them to bot voice their opinion. And I would have thought Bron would know that because people do it to him all the time.

It would have been better if Bron just came out and said he does not support HK. Instead, he had no opinion and said morey shouldn’t either

again he said Morey was misinformed on the backlash that tweet was gonna get, and unless he just wanted the NBA in international crossfire.... he was absolutely misinformed. Also tweeting a hashtag does not = Being informed or caring.

We are in the age of Social Media where people get rewarded for "supporting a cause" and their support stops at a tweet or a RT of something. Not to mention Morey tweeted this afterwards


He admitted that he didn't know how nuanced the situation was & basically picked a side based off a broad explanation of the event. Lebron's comments were correct.

Secondly, the hilarity of Americans saying Lebron is supporting communism and suppression of Democracy.... while completely ignoring those who oppose Hong Kong & their views on the situation... because it doesn't align with Americas traditions & policies is RICH.

People want Lebron one of the biggest celebrities on this earth to take a political stand on foreign policy & involve himself in the middle of a countrywide split.... for their own egos & lives.

Except China is reneging on what they agreed in '84 to be a one country, two system agreement between them and HK. That's the issue. HK was supposed to be allowed a high degree of autonomy but that's not the case anymore. It's oppression.

That's great WHAT THE **** DOES LEBRON OR THE NBA have to do with that.

1) no athlete, celebrity, brand should be forced to speak on political issues if they don't want to.
2) when they do decide to use that platform it should be used to focus on things that personally effect them & their communities. doesn't mean that sudden;y lebron gotta be a freedom fighter for every issue that arises.

they aren’t forced to

take for example Westbrook, he was obviously asked crap ton about Durant.. dude didn’t address it and eventually reporters realized he wouldn’t

He's trying to silence Morey. :lol:

He's essentially saying you're uneducated, shut up and dribble. The SAME sh*t Fox News did to him.

Except that's not what he said at all, he emphasized the point after saying the quote & yet people are still running with it because they wanna be fake mad about something.

And again MOREY HIMSELF STATED THAT HE WASN"T WELL VERSED ON THE ISSUE.

He did the thing that this social media generation is good at, and took a huge issue with may layers, packed it into a tight space, chose a side & tweeted his "support" w/o really knowing the effects of that.

I'm not mad G. It's possible to disagree on something and not be "mad."

He didn't really need to clear anything up. He said a tweet that said "fight for freedom, stand for Hong Kong" was "misinformed."

Then he doubled down and prioritized the NBA over folks in the HK being gassed, beaten and oppressed. It's eerily similar to mentality of the GOP in this country.
 
Honestly you guys should be less upset with people making bad tweets about China and be more upset with companies that are bending the knee to China. It's just a bad precedent, that companies are allowing themselves to be bossed around by a dictatorship like that.

I think the nba as a league has little guts. There was a Hong Kong professional video gamer that got fired for his political comments and was forced to return his reward money. Instead of his peers tweeting that he was misinformed on the issue they striked as a group until he was reinstated and his reward money was returned.
