@JR — Not defending ranger’s choice of words, but the original point was about buying actual tickets, not merchandising or TV ratings or anything like that.

@ranger john:”…it doesnt mater how many “chinamen” watch the nba in china they are not buying tickets.”

that’s one jacked up statement, both for using racist language and showing some obvious ignorance on the issue. The ad revenues and purchasing power from China are what the NBA is after. I wouldn’t be surprised if the league shifts even more focus to China with the economic situation especially at home and in Europe. In case you haven’t realized, China holds an insane amount of US debt already and practically owns us.

I was at the game last night too. It wasnt as empty as u would think. I didnt get there till the end of the 1st quarter because of traffic and there was still a crowd trying to get in. Plus the ESPN was outside having all kinds of stuff, they also drew a crwod. By the time the game was in full swing, the place was pretty packed.

On a sidenote: i got some killer seats. 7 rows behind the goal, in front of the rowdies. And i was on TV.

i rarely see “asians” at the games, although there was a pretty hot one that sat a few seats away from my seats. shw looked a bit right out of a rub and a tug joint though. so in this case it doesnt mater how many “chinamen” watch the nba in china they are not buying tickets.
