I like the points made on both sides of this debate. On the one hand I like the tone of CC's points. The NBA is dead to me since they spread their cheeks for China - I actively avoid any NBA content online, on the radio, etc. Obviously, the NBA doesn't care about ME, but I hope that there are many others doing what I am doing - maybe that can make a difference. As far as China goes, YOU personally can make sure that you don't buy anything made in China, even if you have to pay a little bit more. If that becomes a real movement on "our" side, it will hurt them. The economic/geopolitical reality is that Canada basically has to tack pretty close to the US, but it seems things are getting nastier, based on the Alaska meetings (unless that was just theater for media consumption, and understanding was reached quietly behind the scenes), so you may get your wish yet....
