Steve Kerr and China

I had been willing to give Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr the benefit of the doubt. No longer.

The guy said this just 2-years ago, "If you look at the history of the world, the biggest problems come when people don't speak." Now Kerr is a cross between Sargent Schultz's "I see nothing, I see nothing" character and an epitome of what Stalin termed a "useful idiot." 

I think Ethan Strauss of The Athletic (subscription required) may have nailed it with this quote"
"Upton Sinclair said, 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it,' he just as well could have been describing the phenomenon of NBA players and coaches proclaiming total ignorance on China."
They see nothing! They see nothing!
