The NBA announces that the “Star-Spangled Banner” will no longer be played before league games, but will be replaced by the Chinese National Anthem, “March of the Volunteers.”
The “March of the Volunteers” tune was composed by Nie Er in 1935 with lyrics from Tian Han.
The National Basketball Association has “climbed into bed” with the Chinese Communist Party because the nation it rules is a “huge market” that seems to be in “love with basketball.”
So eager to please the ruling communists is the NBA that fans with protest signs supporting Hong Kong democracy protestors were kicked out of games.
The NBA does, however, love “protests” against the United States, especially “Black Lives Matter” protests, even though those have led to death and destruction in this country.
The vast majority (almost 3/4) of NBA players are Black, even though such a widely disproportionate “racial makeup” of any other highly paid workforce outside of athletics would be deemed strong evidence of “racial discrimination.”
I would wager that the NBA’s management does not want its players to see the Chinese television commercial in which a Chinese woman shoves James LeBron into a washing machine after feeding him a laundry detergent tablet, where the advertised product magically, and violently, washes the “blackness” out of James to the delight of the woman.
LeBron comes out Chinese (not White), of course. I am not sure how “Yellow Supremacy” can be blamed for this, but I bet somebody tries.
Yellow version of LeBron James.
China also announces that all NBA players entering the country will now be subject to a mandatory “naked anal probe, body cavity search and possible live organ harvest collection.
