Stan Van Gundy hasn't been hired as a coach since his tenure with the Pistons.

152 wins, 176 losses during his loooooong four years in Motown.

He just revealed that he's also no good at flacking for communists:

We committed genocide against Native Americans. We have enslaved, lynched, segregated and incarcerated blacks over 400 years. Women couldn’t vote for 140 years. Using abuses elsewhere to try to distract from our own poor record on human rights is dishonest
Speaking of history, what about the NBA's record of looking away from child abuse at its Chinese "academies," Stan? All the way back in...[checks notes]...2019?

It takes zero balls to parrot speech that has corporate sponsorship--that's why we hear so much of it. Stan's tweet--repeating all the approved slogans--ruffled not a single shareholder feather.

But it takes a metaphorical pair to blow the whistle on your own corporation's misdeeds. 

Funny: despite all the orange balls bouncing around the Orlando bubble these days, the NBA can't find even one when it comes to discussing its partnership with the Chinese Reich.

  1. Good old Ron Jeremy. Top-shelf company man with less to say. One of the many reasons why I've pretty much lost interest in "big league" sports. All of them. At least I've got my XFL coming back so I can actually buy some Battle Hawks gear.

    I hope.
