They still have China.

Hollywood knows that if every American Republican, all
74 million Trump voters in 2020, never went to the theater again, never signed
up for a streaming service ever again, never turned on the TV ever again, and
just sat around watching old DVDs they already owned, that would make a
rounding error difference on their balance sheets against the global market.
There are more NBA fans in China than there are total
Americans.
MLB is trying to capture the same market.
Only football is still heavily US-dominated because
football is uniquely American in culture.
So what that Coke or basketball insults American
Conservatives.
They lose some sales in the US.
They make up for it in China because China loves it
when American companies insult America, that is used as propaganda in China.
The Chinese government loves to throw Black Lives
Matter back in our faces. It pulls our teeth on calling them out on their
human rights atrocities.
And: “Corporate executives need to be held criminally liable, as in
prison time, for human rights abuses against workers overseas, including
subcontractors. Take Mr. CEO, send him to Terre Haute for life, seize all
of his assets and leave him destitute. Starve his children.”
I'm happy to be a rounding error because I sure as fook ain't sending my hard earned dollars to Hollywood or woke corporations.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do think that pain will be felt. Will MLB start having franchises in China?
Enough rounding errors becomes a lot of dollars. If NLB gets woke enough, they might gloriously announce a team in a China city.
