In an unexpected divergence of what would seem to be a partnership of those with similar mindsets, China has removed ESPN from its airwaves.

ESPN and Star Sports have gone off the air in China after the authorities refused to renew their permits last week. They were the only channels among a group of foreign nets not to be reupped by China's State Administration for Radio, Film and Television. No reason was given for the refusal.
Clearly, this is a direct reaction protesting the removal of "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" from the network. Perhaps if they agree to bring back "Teammates," China will reconsider.

I just thought that it was a communist plot to protest the inequities inherent in the system.
