    Our “Google Uyghurs” sign has been confiscated. pic.twitter.com/fX4tF4oOxR

    how the fuck is a google Uyghurs sign in any way political?
    You should ask your friends in Hong Kong about it. Im sure they'd love to talk about it.
    As usual you completely miss the point. If they were holding a sign that said Free the Uyghurs that would constitute a political statement. However holding a sign that said google Uyghurs is in no way political.


    I didn't. Just making fun of your naivety.

    The CCP disagrees with you. That's all that matters.

    Not at all

    The Portland Trail Blazers announced that they have severed relations with a company that does business with Israel following a pressure campaign by activists tied to the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.

    As the NBA is facing outrage after the general manager of the Houston Rockets capitulated to censorship by the Chinese communist government, the Trail Blazers quietly severed ties with the manufacturer Leupold, which has a contract to produce accessories for the Israeli Defense Forces.

    Trail Blazers president and CEO Chris McGowan recently announced the decision to bow to pressure from BDS activists, telling a reporter for the Bleacher Report that "Leupold is no longer a part of the organization."

    The move was celebrated by anti-Israel activists and picked up by the pro-BDS blog Mondoweiss, which stated that the decision came "after a year-long campaign by local activists to pressure the Blazers to drop the sponsor."

    https://www.wweek.com/sports/2019/09/30/portland-trail-blazers-announce-the-team-has-ended-its-partnership-with-military-contractor-leupold-stevens/

    It's the company's work with the Israeli army that has drawn protest from the DSA, which opposes the occupation of Palestine.

    McGowan said the protests were “NOT ENTIRELY” the reason for the end of the partnership.

    Hahaha you didn’t have to requote your fake news I read it once already. Now for the real story

    Leupold & Stevens issued the following statement:

    Leupold & Stevens is proud to have been able to support the ‘Hometown Heroes’ program with the Portland Trail Blazers. The program honored the brave men and women of our nation’s armed forces, first responders, and other everyday heroes who put service before self. Leupold’s sponsorship contract officially expired at the conclusion of the 2018-2019 season. The company has made the decision to continue its never-ending support for local heroes through other programs.

    Here’s another statement from today



    Pretty funny you guys fell for this fake news on the same night the Blazers are playing a team from Israel! But sure they are all in with BDS...fucking hell deej you fell for another one! Hahaha

    Like Clint Eastwood once stated in a famous line..........”You have to ask yourself punk” if it was just a simple end to a contract and not the culmination of protests from the BDS movement.......WHY WOULD THERE BE NUMEROUS STORIES ABOUT THIS.........”Well punk”.😁

    “All my far right blogs are telling me it’s true so it has to be true!” Hahaha

    I do agree with you about hockey though. NHL games are far more entertaining than NBA games

    McGowans words aren’t far right blogs. You are once again employing another logical fallacy in an attempt to make a point. Same ol’same ol’

    Hey at least you don't fall for fake news as often as Deej does. But they got you this time! You should take a lesson from Deej though - he doesn't give up as soon as he realizes the gig is up.

    South Park is arguably the greatest American institution of our generation.

    No sarcasam.
    I wish they would go back to older formats where it was a show around the characters and not so politics-heavy. I couldn't get through last season.
    Oh man their political commentary is the best thing about the show IMO.

    They're ability and willingness to skewer anyone and everyone is unmatched.
    I agree that they kill any and all comers and are equal opportunity about it. I think it's more fun when it's about celebrities and other stuff that doesn't actually impact our day to day lives. I don't need to relive the US political shit show via a cartoon. I need an escape. Anyone got any mescaline they can sell me?
    You came to the right place my fren.
