Notice they're being blasted on twitter similarly to the way certain politicians are. This is a clear example of troll farm/bot coordination.

Silver is a businessman but at some point you gotta at the very least take a stand against bullying tactics.

In terms of my general view...as a black dude I can't help but think about South Africa. Today we act like apartheid is some terrible thing that nobody supported, but not long about American politicians were silent on it and the world largely ignored it. China is vastly more influential/powerful than South Africa was but come on. These dudes are literally out here harvesting organs and exterminating Muslim minorities in the country, and of course oppressing Hong Kong.

I think people are going to simply ignore it until China decides to start shooting HKers in the streets in mass. They've avoided full blown murder so far, but for how long.

We not going to war with anyone that had nukes. Stop it.

Since all bloggers/reporters/fans are saying James Dolan is the worst owner in the NBA and heckle him in MSG and during his music shows ... I'm sure people will be lining up to ask the Brooklyn Nets Chinese billionaire owner his views on China's abuse of human rights :jbhmm:


Adam Silver threatened to pull the All Star game over a bathroom law so I'm assuming he will immediately call back all the teams from a country that has over a million muslims in concentration camps :jbhmm:

Tillman is a ruthless piece of shyt, so I can see him getting rid of Morey. If he does, I'm officially over this team. fukk Tillman for even considering this
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:ehh: I think its a wrap for Morey. He's been poppin off at the mouth for some time now.
