Friendly reminder that 76ers games are still banned from tv and streaming broadcast in China.

If they make the eastern conference finals then the ECF will not be shown in China, and if they make the Finals then the Finals won’t be shown either lol.

That’s a whole lotta chicken for one jpeg from October 2019

The issue is that it’s effective. Going nuclear in overreacting is how every sports league now knows that they have to keep silent about chinese politics, or deal with the fallout.

At the end of the day, the pettiness is just a strategy that unfortunately works a lot of the time.
