Big if true


On Monday of last week, the NBA was swept into controversy after a viral video showed that the online store could not process orders that used the text "FreeHongKong." Hours later, the store's operator Fanatics reversed what it suggested was a technical error that prompted the phrase to be "inadvertently prohibited."
However, days after the incident, customers cannot find customizable apparel on both Fanatics and the NBA's online store. And returning to pages of specific jerseys showed that the products had been "discontinued."
On Monday, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced the Slave-Free Business Certification Act, which would “increase corporate supply chain disclosure requirements, mandates regular audits, requires chief executive officers to certify that their companies’ supply chains do not rely on forced, slave labor, and creates penalties for firms that fail basic minimum standards for human rights.”

If a product or industry can’t exist without slave labor, we don’t need it. Simple as that.

“Corporate America and the celebrities that hawk their products have been playing this game for a long time – talk up corporate social responsibility and social justice at home while making millions of dollars off the slave labor that assembles their products,” the Missouri Republican said in a statement. “Executives build woke, progressive brands for American consumers, but happily outsource labor to Chinese concentration camps, all just to save a few bucks.”

Biden should run as the pro-slavery candidate. Oh, that's right - he is.

So is the NBA going to be OK or do they have to wait until November 4th to support China openly?

Doesn’t even matter really, it’s not provable. It’s not like we are going to get W2’s from Chinese manufacturing companies. Add documentation requirements and they’ll just forge them anyways.MikeDamone said:
