Disgusting: NBA Grovels Before Communist China After Rockets' GM Speaks Up in Support of Hong...

I concur with your assessment, my friend SP5 Mark Kuzinski that in the wake of "Houston Rockets' General Manager Daryl Morey tweet[ing] in support of the pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, all hell broke loose. Chinese sponsors cut ties with the organization, as the regime in Beijing reacted furiously (in keeping with its pattern of anti-speech intimidation and punishment). Reports began to circulate that Morey might be in danger of losing his job; he quickly posted a series of mealy-mouthed tweets to 'clarify' his position and emphasize that his pro-democracy views "in no way represent the Rockets or the NBA."
Shame on NBA commissioner Adam Silver for kowtowing to the communist Chinese.

Based on recent stands this seems to be their modus operandi"
1. "During the anthem wars, the league's commissioner, Adam Silver, preened publicly about free speech and expression being "a core set of American values" to which the league was firmly committed. After a viral firestorm involving transgender people and bathrooms in North Carolina, in which the state's legislature passed a controversial law, the NBA ostentatiously announced its retaliatory decision to yank its all star game out of Charlotte."
2. "Silver also jettisoned the word "owner" to describe the people who, well, own NBA franchises, after certain political correctness enforcers decided the term represented a problematic echo of slavery-era dynamics. That comparison fails on several levels, but the demanded rhetorical sanitizing occurred anyway."

"The league's statement in Mandarin was even worse, calling Morey's tweet in favor of Hong Kong's freedom an "inappropriate" affront to the feelings of Chinese fans, in which the NBA is "extremely disappointed." The league now claims they did not intend to have any differences between the American and Chinese versions of their official comments, and that the discrepancy is attributable to translation issues. Read the two paragraphs side by side, consider the intended audiences, and decide whether or not you believe that excuse. Meanwhile, at least one NBA super star has now apologized for Morey's tweet while on the ground in China -- where the league and (also super woke) ESPN have begun a tour of promotional games and broadcasts.?

The NBA is now nothing but a feral pack of running dog lackeys to the imperial socialist militant pseudo-Marxist hegemons in Beijing!

It gives a whole new meeting to dribbling
