Bobby Brown, a professional NBA player = Idiot
What is it with NFL and NBA players? Do all of them have the same IQ as the Atlantic Puffin? Morons one and all.
Outrage across China after NBA player vandalizes Great Wall with signature
Published October 18, 2016
· FoxNews.com
Note to international travelers: Locals usually don't take kindly to visitors who deface treasured landmarks.
Bobby Brown, a professional NBA player with the Houston Rockets, apparently learned that the hard way during a recent trip to China.
Brown, who hasn't played professionally for almost six years, recently signed with the Houston Rockets. He traveled to China for the NBA's Global Game and stuck around to do a little sightseeing after a big win against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The NBA player paid a visit to one of China's most iconic landmarks-- the Great Wall-- and decided to leave a little memory of himself behind. Using some chalk, the pro athelete scrawled his initials into a section of the ancient wall and boasted of his artwork on Weibo (China’s version of Twitter): “Had a blast at the Great Wall of China today,” he wrote with a photo of his signature.
That didn’t go over too well with the people of the People’s Republic. Or the rest of the world, for that matter.
The reaction across several social platforms was swift and predictably biting.
One Weibo user wrote of the scrawl: "Are you proud of your carving? This is a part of world heritage, not the toilet of your home."

It's not just NBA players or other athletes - hell, it ain't even certain races. It's like a symptom of the social disease that has rotted the heart of America.
I see something nice, I wanna let everyone know I was here by defacing it with my name.
I see something interesting in nature, I wanna find some way to destroy it so I can post the video on You Tube.
I point back to when the libs/progs/socialists were successful in removing God, discipline via paddling and education from the classrooms of America in favor of indoctrination.

Why the hate for Atlantic Puffins? Such a majestic bird.

That activity does not surprise me since it's coming from people who play games for a living and often times think they are above the law and can do what they want with impunity.

There is your role model and hero, representing our once great nation.

Oh for the days when athletes played the game and kept their mouths shut about topics other than the game, and otherwise pretty much stayed off the news pages and on the sports pages.

Back when they had appreciation, and understood how fortunate they were to be able to play a game and get paid doing it.
