Shooting Stars Competition, Sponsored by Chinese Prison Labor

By Craig Kwasniewski

Ladies and gentleman, I bring you the Shooting Stars Competition, brought to you by Haier!

When I first read that, I wondered who or what the hell is Haier? Is it some anti-balding lotion, like "Add hair with Haier!"

Actually (according to wikipedia), "Haier is a producer of household appliances, including air conditioners, laptops, refrigerators, etc. Its headquarters are in Qingdao, Shandong, China."

Yep, your Shooting Stars Competition is sponsored by a Chinese corporation. Red China folks! Even though they have a plant in Camden, South Carolina to build items in the US, so they can put the "Made in USA" label on their products, I'm guessing most of their products are made by prison labor. (Confirmed by the fact that they sell their products at the devil's house Walmart. Isn't Walmart's mantra, "Political dissidents make the best employees... well that and senior citizens as greeters!")

Couldn't the NBA get Budweiser or Jimmy's Bail Bonds to sponsor the event?
