It's called damage control.
It looks better to their target audience in China than him just deleting the tweet.

What an incredibly idiotic tweet from Morey. Whether you agree with it or not.

And an equally idiotic response from Tilman. The Rockets are currently a shite show.

Should have just put that standard "these views reflect my own and not the Houston Rockets...blah blah blah"

Either way i doubt anything comes from this. Not like he is going to quit because his Boss called him out on twitter.

Those Chinese comments on Moreys account aren’t from actual Chinese people. Most real life Chinese people cannot use Twitter. It’s just government created bots.

It would be like a GM speaking out against Black Lives Matter and in support of police officers.

No matter what side you’re on, why put your team and business in the middle of it?

And it’s one thing if it’s the owner. It’s his team, so he can decide if he wants to take the heat and financial risk. But for a GM to do it without the blessing of the owner...

Because he’s also an individual who is allowed to support things as that individual.

The owner’s tweet brought for more attention to the original tweet in the first place, and brought the other side of the issue into the controversy.

He also represents a multi-billion dollar organization and his Twitter account is used in an official capacity.

Saying nothing is what leads to governments abusing power against their populace. Screw being silent on this. Morey has big patriot balls and Tilman Fertitta is a fascist stooge.
