And you thought Adam Silver was a bleeding heart. The league is just as corporate as any other business

I never want to hear about any SJW whining from the NBA ever again.

Trannies in bathrooms is worth a boycott of North Carolina but people being killed by a dictatorship is A OK because they pay the league enough.

They should go back to supporting countries who allow sharia law and forbid women of any rights and homosexuality is punishable by death. Way to stand up to whitey though.

More like the NBA hasn't spoken. That's a lot of words to say nothing

They sell more shoes in China than in North Carolina since Jordan has already saturated that market.

China is a key cog in the new world order

China controls a lot more than you think. China controls most of our politicians. Why do you think so many are opposed to Trump. The root is he is trying to pull the rug out from under the financial interests o many have in China. They just use shite like "unpresidential" or "racism" as a smokescreen.

It's all about China

Morey voiced his opinion. At that point they couldn't just let it die.

People are saying they're standing with the commies, but I see it differently. Their statement/stance, or lack thereof, could not be any more capitalist. They love money.

It is pretty capitalist but undercuts a lot of their bullshite posturing at the same time.

This is a league which throws its weight around on domestic SJW issues to try and force states and cities to fall into line, yet they let themselves be cowed by a dictatorship because it is seen as a major emerging marketplace.

We've seen with these domestic leagues that when the sjw crap starts interfering with revenue, they step in.

What was Morey thinking when he started the whole thing?

Is he thinking to be a senator?

Man, I get that you were born in China and I’m assuming spent a great deal of time there but Americans call out other country’s bullshite a lot and being able to speak our minds and emotions are an actual right here.

Chinese citizens know that speaking against the government can land them in hot water and sometimes even punishment.

This is one thing that makes the US so great, we can think almost whatever we want to and display those thoughts to the public.

The NBA allowing the Chinese government to flex their power onto a US citizen that is on US soil is a slippery arse slope imo. I don’t think this will end well for either the NBA or China.

Morey is on the right side of history, but it was undeniably a terrible business decision to send that tweet.
