CHINA vs the NBA.

He plead ignorance... he might be but I’m doubtful. He’s a smart dude... it’s easy to be woke AF when it earns you points.

I will say the history and culture differences create some ambiguity on this one. It’s just funny to see fearless people clearly scared of the power and influence that money has here.

Would anyone be surprised if silver made 30 calls after this Morey thing and was like “hey guys we woke AF but let’s not talk China... its complicated but anyone that does will be fired on spot”.

This is getting out of control.

Silvers posted he isnt gona let china strong arm employees of the NBA.

Blizzard games just banned their grandmaster player for hearthstone and retracted his prize money.

Where is our buddy ronnie who claims china is fair and balanced and fights air pollution. LOL

He definitely knows what's going on. He's been involved in politics his whole life. His dad was assassinated when he was a kid.

Haha, no. I work for the Chinese Olympic committee. I work as a strength and conditioning coach for various Olympic teams. But I talk to a lot of people here and try to get to know as much as I can.

So, you are literally in the same position as the NBA in that you will be fired if you don't support them. Is all this free speech going to get Jazzfanz blocked by the great firewall? lol

Silver's second statement was quite a bit better than his first, but China is not pleased.

This is such a **** show.

One stupid tweet from a relatively insignificant NBA person. Jeebus… so sensitive.

Yeah, **** them.

This really isn’t that difficult to make a call about.

I feel bad for Morey, not the Rockets though....he definitely had no idea what this would turn into.

Nope. Morey should've known better

I am not native english speaker - what does the AF mean?

I don't disagree but on a human level I feel bad for him.

If he quits his job then yes. But right now he is basically getting paid and saying **** you to the very person that pays him at the same time
