Speedo Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 If you didn't like Captain Marvel it's because you're a misogynist. If you don't like Space Jam 2 it's because you're racist. It's just a really dumb argument to make when you can't stand on the merit of the product itself. Captain Marvel was alright though, people are just bored.

It's just silly. Ghent gets easily triggered when people genuinely criticize things he likes. I don't know much about Lebron but he seems a bit less charismatic than Jordan was. The China comments were really the only negative side of Lebron that I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what he said about China, I only watch basketball when the Spurs are in the finals ... its been a long while since I've seen a game, and I don't follow any of it's players.

In a nutshell, basically: LeBron James believes Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey "wasn't educated" before he sent the tweet in support of antigovernment protesters in Hong Kong that damaged relations between China and the NBA. https://africa.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27847951/daryl-morey-was-misinformed-sending-tweet-china-hong-kong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 LeBron is also an anti-vaxxer which sucks. Was a big fan of his before that, can't wait to see Space Jam though. Movies are allowed to just be dumb fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 7 minutes ago, JarJarBlinks said: Movies are allowed to just be dumb fun! I agree! This movie just left out the "fun" bit. My kids weren't all that enthused either, honestly. My oldest kept checking how much time was left and neither her nor her sister put up a fight when the movie was over and it was time for bed. That's usually not the case when involved in things they enjoy. My point was I (we) didn't enjoy it and here is my reasons why, it was never "no one should enjoy it". I don't give a rat's ass how anyone feels about most things ... just return the sentiment and don't try to spin it into some social/political statement. Just because subjectivity is personal doesn't mean your counter opinions need to go on the attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the fastest growing sport in China - could be wrong but I swear I read that somewhere. There's a reason why the NBA plays pre-season games there though, it's the biggest market for them to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With cases surging again the least the most popular athlete in the United States could do would be to tell people to get vaccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you’re being purposefully obtuse though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
