Brickbat: Red-Carded

Chinese streaming services with rights to Premier League soccer games did not show games over the weekend after league officials announced team captains would wear armbands with the colors of the Ukraine flag. The streaming services had previously said subscribers would get to see all of the league's games, but that was before China's ally Russia invaded Ukraine.

What China really needs is a section 230 to protect these streaming services from getting sued by their troll users for their good faith blocking and screening of offensive material.

Well, that'll learn 'em!

[Don't look at me!]

Trust the experts.

These games never happened, just like Tianenmen Square.

The CCP is seeing red again. Unmatched for pettiness,. They may try to play this down by shifting goal posts but you can spot their maneuvering if Ukraine your neck.
