" For the first time in his life Sean Davis Steelers Jersey , Yao Ming is going to find out what it's like to be unpopular.
The NBA Hall of Famer has been universally loved throughout his playing career: He's practically worshipped back home following his No.1 draft pick and on-court heroics for Team China, while also winning over legions of fans in the US, especially in his adopted hometown Houston, which recently celebrated ""Yao Ming Day.""
Since retiring, he's been a -respected figure both in the classroom and the boardroom, going back to school Artie Burns Steelers Jersey , while also running the Chinese Basketball -Association's (CBA) Shanghai Sharks.
As the first head of the CBA to come from outside the government's ranks, his appointment last week was universally praised, such is his stature and popularity both within and outside the sport.
But here's where it gets tricky.
With Yao targeting reform as his top priority, he is bound to make some -unpopular - if necessary - decisions.
Reform - in any country and in any sector - by its definition means overhauling the old and upsetting the status quo. Many areas of the sport in China - from refereeing to the commercial aspects and the standard of the on-court product - are desperately in need of improvement, but in order to make -changes, Yao will need to sweep out some of the entrenched interests Joshua Dobbs Steelers Jersey , who, when threatened, may not want to -simply lie down.
Despite Yao's humility and under-stated nature, he exudes an air of quiet ambition stemming from a steely resolve to improve the game at all levels.
His newly elected deputies in the CBA - all nine of them - have also come from inside the sport, and not from the government. They will no doubt give him the support he needs, but only when push comes to shove will it be clear just how serious the authorities are about true reform.
The Chinese Football Association (CFA) James Conner Steelers Jersey , for example, had mapped out a timeline for the gradual reduction in foreign players in the Chinese Super League, all communicated with, and agreed by, the clubs. But when the transfers of Oscar, Carlos Tevez and others brought the focus on overspending rather than the development of soccer Cameron Sutton Steelers Jersey , those outside the CFA abruptly reduced the foreign player quota and brought in a brand-new under-23 policy, causing havoc with the transfer window having already been open for weeks.
Yao must be left to guide the sport as he sees fit. Only if he is left to correct what others might see as mistakes will basketball in China truly see the reforms it has been promised.

Brochures are a good way to introduce your new company and services to potential customers. That is what one newly opened spa realized. When they opened their first branch, they had these reading materials printed for distribution.
They ordered one ream of colored copies and their brochure printing amounted to about $154, excluding the design and layout because they hired an outside artist for it. The management got so excited in distributing them, that in about two months, 500 copies were all distributed. They gave the copies to the managers of companies and left some in strategic places. It has been well accepted. They made some revisions on their first printing JuJu Smith-Schuster Steelers Jersey , added some new photos, and then ordered another ream for printing, paying the same amount as their first order. The only thing that they saved on was the creative fee for the layout.
By this time, the management thought of distributing brochures at the arrival area of the airport so that visitors in the city will get to know about their new spa. That increased their brochure consumption because of the number of people that pass by the arrival area every day. Even if they limited the distribution during office hours so that they will not have to pay overtime fees to their distributor, one ream was all used up in no time. The next time they ordered, they got two reams and the cost was brought down to roughly $100 only.
After about a month T. J. Watt Steelers Jersey , the two reams were all used up again. So they thought of printing some more copies. Before putting in another order, they thought of including updates. They assessed the contents, made corrections and added some updates because by that time, they were already operating for more than six months and they introduced more services.
They went to the printer and asked for another quote, this time for 10 reams. What they got blew their minds. For the same materials and finish (which is just actually folding) and printing specifications, the total cost for 10 reams was only $400! That is only $40 per ream! That was when they realized that if you are going into the production of advertising materials James Washington Steelers Jersey , the number of copies really play an important role. They now knew that the more copies that they ordered would mean cheaper printing costs. They finalized design and ordered 10 reams. That is already a reasonable number for them.
From then on, they started ordering their brochures per 10 reams. The brochure printing costs are already reasonable for them and the number is practical because by the time 10 reams were distribute, they revised the layout or updated the contents, such as the introduction of service packages, promotions, and coupons that the customers can use. They have really saved so much on their printing costs because of the bulk discounts and their business increased because they were able to give out more copies. They are very happy with the turnout of using brochures to promote their business and their services.
