Why not? Why can't we lump then all into one? My issues is that Kyrie should slide if he did something wrong my issue is that no one should slide.
Because they are 2 separate issues entirely.
I agree that no one should slide. I have no issues with your stance. My issue lies with lumping the 2 issues together.
One situation has nothing to do with another.
It's like saying hypothetically, "black people don't deserve to be treated fair and with respect by police because they kill each other anyway."
Police brutality is an issue, and black on black crime is an issue... Separately.
You can't say, you (the nets) don't have the ability/authority/moral compass to "do the right thing" when it comes to Kyrie, because of your stance/silence in China.
Additionally, that's China. This is the United States.
again, this was never about anything other than money. That's it.
When the NBA got rid of Donald Sterling, it was about money.
When the NBA moved the all star game out of Charlotte, it was about money.
The NBA remaining mum on issues in China wasn't about anything other than money.
Etc etc etc.
