Chinese fans angry at Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey for supporting Hong Kong

[who_better_than_me]

James harden apologised to China on behalf of the rockets but his punk ass got mad and refused to speak on the kneeling issue when a reporter pressed him about it a couple year ago

Trump and republican going going to go in on the NBA for freely critisizing our govt but scared of China

Trump and the Republicans are gonna eat GOOD off this shyt . Just point out the LGBT North Carolina bathroom law


When Morey gets fired and blackballed, they gonna post that Nike / Kaep ad photoshopped with Morey face

And apparently Nike China site removed Houston Rockets apparel from their website

The US likes to play world police but you see we aren't trying to police shyt unless it benefits us...I swear we may just be the biggest hypocritical pieces of shyt.

It depends....but in my opinion the biggest hypocritical pieces of shyt live in western europe. These are the people that started world war 1 and 2, took over quite a lot of countries 100+ years ago. Now these are the countries that preach social equality and other things but they ready to sell out anyone.
There are far far worse pieces of shyt in the world than America. I'd rather have The US playing world police than a fukking China, Russia or whatever being that world police You see what I'm saying....we are having to choose between less of an evil.

South Park's last episode looking realer and realer

I feel you but its too much money at stake here. We talking about billions of dollars. China is a godsend for the NBA. This is a position even the NFL would kill for. And I don't give two shyts about China but Morey will likely get canned. I will say this though... Has Darryl Morey ever spoken up for something that has happened here in the States? He might not even give two shyts about people in Hong Kong. He probably got senitmental off some shyt he saw on the news. Silver, the Rockets(which are the gateway franchise for China), and the league is not going to let a GM fukk up the China Bag no matter what. It is what it is. What would really help out is if Yao Ming made a statement that could ease both sides of the equation. But maybe he's shook of the Chinese government too I think its a wrap for Morey. He's been poppin off at the mouth for some time now.

Saying ‘it is what it is’ - that’s the exact issue with the NBA’s response here. They are shilling for China’s $$ while turning a blind eye to the situation at hand. And Silver has constantly said this is a progressive league and he stands by his employees taking political stands. Now we know how Silver would have operated if NBA players took a knee during the anthem and it effected the bottom line, luckily for him the NBA already has language outlawing players/coaches talking a knee:

Players, coaches, and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem.

NBA proving they are no better than the NFL when it comes to this shyt. This is bad looks for Silver, and the league is rightfully getting roasted for the response

This sh*t is crazy. I'm going to spend some time today reading up on the issues, I'm not informed at all really.

The republican going going to go hard on the NBA for freely critisizing our govt but scared of China

Did he say anything about Trump promising to Xi to stay quiet about Honk Kong protests while they're negotiating trade?

Did he or Republicans say anything about Trump asking China to investigate Biden?

Same shyt Jesus always told us about wealth....you don't own it, it owns you.

You think that more money should mean more freedom. But most of the time the wealthier people get, the MORE protective they get of holding onto that money and the MORE they're willing to morally compromise themselves to make more of it.

In my lifetime I can't think of a single star in a major league who was willing to fukk up his money for a moral principle, and not most rich people in other parts of life either. Kaep is out there obviously as the best of them but he wasn't a star anymore when he made his stand and he may well have traded in at the end to fill his pockets back up (not judging, I don't know all the facts, but it's out there like that). Most Americans who have millions on the line would damn near push any poor person right in front of the damn Chinese tank if that's what it took to keep their job. Not that that justifies it, it's still absolutely pathetic.

Any Harden fan with principles and moral integrity should call him out right now.

Morally, you’re right, but nobody gets to billionaire status thinking they made enough money. Nobody.

This is straight out south park lol.

Also China is extreme totalitarian capitalism.

Which. Is. Why. Chasing. Money. Is. Evil.


"He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity."


"But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs."


"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."


"Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”


"Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."


"Jesus looked at him and loved him. 'One thing you lack,' he said. 'Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.' At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, 'How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!' The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, 'Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.'”


"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'”

NBA / Rockets had Harden make a statement:

"We apologize. You know, we love China. We love playing there," Harden said. "For both of us individually, we go there once or twice a year. They show us the most important love.”

"We appreciate them as a fan base," Harden said. "We love everything there about them”

That’s fair but that don’t make what I said less invalid. They will use this to point out hypocrisies in the liberal agenda.

It just highlights that the NBA who claim to be about social justice and certain liberties ain’t about that life when it comes to shyt affecting their money. People was trying to crown the NBA for their stance on a lot of issues but now they just showed u their just like the other major sports.

Sets a bad precedent.

Regardless of which you enjoy more these leagues sure are repressive when it comes to social views
