Adam Silver: Chinese Gov't Demanded That Morey Be Fired; Morey Now Under Constant Security Detail

[DonKnock]

He was cool with them being in a known hostile environment and still talking shyt from back home.

Don’t matter if it was intentional or not. That was the result. Kinda like the difference between manslaughter and murder.

His careless self serving tweet could have gotten them hurt or killed.

You prescribed a malicious intent and are now saying intent doesn't matter


NBA teams travel with security overseas anyway.

Silver can’t fire a GM. Morey has spent all the time since his tweet profusely apologizing for it. Then NBA has spent all that time kissing ass in private talks.

Yeah Adam silver gone get on TV and talk tough, but I bet you don’t get any other execs talking that shyt about China and Hong Kong

Adam Silver got an owner the fukk up outta here, you don't think he can get a GM outta here?

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Lets stop with the exaggerations. No they wouldnt. The most high profile athletes are untouchable.

So his life is in danger here on American soil. But the players were totally safe over there?

I didn’t prescribe anything

 

[JackRoss]

It is that serious in China.

the government owns everything. Meaning you piss them off enough, you don’t even have an airplane to get on to come back home.

You really think they would kidnap or kill NBA players? Global superstars at that. They aren't that damn stupid

 

[ill]

Adam Silver is a stand up dude for telling the Chinese government to fukk themselves.

"We won't even discipline him"

 

[ExodusNirvana]

China inst stupid. They were never gonna endanger the players over a tweet from a GM.

This is what these cats are'nt understanding

If the Chinese government harmed a HAIR on LeBron receding hairline it would be an international incident the likes of which have never been seen.

It would'nt just be the US on their ass

Apparently he and the NBA think it could happen here.

why couldn’t it happen in China?

What do you mean? Safe from the streets? Or safe from Chinese backed hitmen? During the Olympics he was casually walking everywhere. One tweet from some over reaching GM, wasnt going to get LeBron whacked. Nah.

The Chinese pull out a red carpet for these guys. What beef did they have with the athletes? LeBron has a higher chance getting merked in L.A.

Would be easy for them to set it up to look like a crazed fan, or maybe a crazed fan could work on their own.

The players went through it while they were over there. Maybe not physical danger, but you never know. Same reason they are being extra cautious here.

Imagine this from the players perspective. They don’t want to go playing games in China. They are gonna on the direction of the league to represent and bring the bag home for the entire league. Then this guy sends a tweet and throws their whole situation in a whirlwind.

 

[Luke Cage]

Whelp, eventually the NBA will have to end their relationship with China over this. And hundreds of people (who aren't NBA players) will lose their jobs.
We have to have freedom of speech and now everyone is afraid to say anything that might offend China. That just can't be.
All over a tweet that didn't benefit anyone. No ones admitting it, but I'm guessing most of the league is furious at Morey right now.

Exactly, if they were actually going to do something to help Hong Kong, people might look back on this differently. But all this for essentially nothing makes it seem stupid in retrospect. All the white folks wanting the Athletes to take a Kapernick like stance on this issue are also hypocrite until they actually start showing support for Kapernick's stance first.

Coli posters ok with it because injustice only matters when it's American CACs vs. Blacks

They weren’t gonna get murked over a tweet from some other team’s owner.
