Seriously -- Fuck the NBA

https://6abc.com/sports/sixers-fan-supporting-hong-kong-ejected-from-preseason-game/5604293/

The older I get, the less I care about organized sports. I was never a fan of NBA (but remain a College hoops fan....at least for now) -- but dammit, the NBA is just kowtowing to China's oppression for a few dollars.

South Park's latest episode 'Band in China' is, as always, on point and hits the bullseye

I have never enjoyed watching it. And, I especially hated playing it at school. I was overweight as a kid, and our gym teacher always made us play shirts/skins, and damned if I didn't seem to end up on the skins team 80% of the time. So, there I'd be, my boy boobies flopping in the breeze. Embarrassing as hell, especially because the girls in the class were always nearby.
