Brickbat: Ain't That a Kick

Chinese state TV pulled a scheduled broadcast of a Premier League soccer match between Arsenal and Manchester City after Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil tweeted criticism of China's treatment of its Uighur Muslim minority and the silence of Muslims outside China. "Qurans are burned, mosques were closed down, Islamic theological schools, madrasas were banned, religious scholars were killed one by one. Despite all this, Muslims stay quiet," he wrote.

Above in just an on-line gambling advertisement, so don't bother to translate it... Damned spammers!!!
Well, damn. I thought it might be an Albanian Muslim speaking out on the treatment of Uighur Muslims in China. Or maybe on the dangers of teen vaping.
It's Indonesian and it's none of that stuff.
At the risk of getting on the Chinese shit list and having my sports games not televised there, I’m gonna say I hope the Chinese government dies in a fire. Between the Uighurs, Hong Kong, the Orwellian social credit system, etc., it seems like they are trying to win a contest for the world’s worst government.
We will miss your posts; sorry to hear about your fatal accident.
I come to reason for the comments. This did not disappoint!
likely sub-contract the liquidation to Hillary & Co.
The best part is their people don’t give a shit. All that propaganda and brainwashing since 1948? It’s for reals. “China has straight up concentration camps where they harvest organs from people who are still alive when they extract them.” (Chinese student studying in the US): “Why do you hate the party?”
The social credit system briefly came up in conversation at work and our Chinese intern straight up denied that it existed at all.
You get extra points if you say it doesn’t exist.
Ooo, playing n-dimensional social credit!
What's the first rule of chinese social credit club?
Pooh worth 50 points
First rule of social credit club: You don't talk about social credit club.
Thank god for the communists or we'd all have to learn Mandarin.
Certainly worst in their weight class. I think they might have to come up with something pretty spectacular to beat North Korea for Worst In Show.
Hmmm, that's a good question I guess - is worst determined by the misery they inflict per capita, or the absolute misery they've inflicted on the world?
just in it for the laughs?
More players should start speaking out. Force the leagues and the Chinese to deal with this.
"Hey now...let's not get crazy here." - NBA league owners and sponsors.
what's the current count of former or not quite NBA players working it in the PRC? Asking for a friend.
How about if the comments become sarcastic, like in H&R?
"No Qurans are burned, no mosques were closed down, Islamic theological schools, madrasas were established, religious scholars were encouraged one by one. Through all this, Muslims broadcast their message."
Chinese are worse than Nikki, who used to be literally the worst.
Ozil was already a fave player. Love it. Fuck you, China.
So, how am I, a devout libertarian, supposed to feel?
1) Oh, a religious minority is being picked on by their Chineese overlords; that's really terrible
2) Finally, someone dealing with Muslim extremism at the root.
3) Both of the above
4) None of the above
make popcorn!
