How am I a troll? The entertainment business doesn't care about Americans. The only way they can survive is in the global market. They'll gladly sacrifice a few hundred million U.S. customers for the billions they can rake in globally by dropping its national identity. Big Tech is doing the same thing. This is very obvious to anyone paying attention.
You haven't been out of the country. Or deal with any Chinese. They have a big sense of pride. They're not big on American sports. The Chinese don't want to watch a bunch of big, black Americans playing with a ball.
Wrong on that by many accounts. I would be comfortable waging everything I own that I've traveled to more countries than you. I say that because I personally don't know anybody that has been to more than I have. Furthermore, I have been working almost exclusively with Chinese clients the past five years. I've worked in an industry that supports film, television, and other forms of entertainment for almost twenty years. I finally left my job over the summer because I was so uninspired by the Chinese work and Hollywood's new direction. It really is a disappointing era for the film business.
But you are absolutely correct that the Chinese have a tremendous amount of national pride. I know that. What you don't realize is that most Americans will sell out their own just for a chance to have their movies in Chinese theaters, their shows on Chinese networks, and their sports on Chinese televisions. With the throw of a switch China can shut it all down over the slightest insult to their nation. That's why Hollywood now appeals to Chinese censors before considering the MPAA to greenlight a film. This is not a crack-pot conspiracy theory. It is well known in and out of the biz.
Oh, so you're in the "entertainment industry" bubble. That explains a lot. I guess that's how American film is compensating for the loss of box office sales? Eating whatever scraps the Chinese throw at them? What a soul-less industry (I used to work for entertainment law firms back when it was actually cool).
Nobody else gives a fuck about American basketball. So no national anthems at the Olympic games either for nobody? Fucking troll.
