    Has anyone been following the backlash surrounding the Houston Rocket’s GM’s tweet in support of the HK protests and the subsequent damage control by the owner and the NBA?

    Holy cow.

    Welcome your new Chinese overlords. They own us.

    You can basically say anything about America but man if you say something about another country the shit hits the fan. "Economic impact already felt" from the Commissioner.
    [uck fay] China.

    I look forward to the Woke Culture boycotting the NBA for its choosing socialist China over the human rights of Hong Kong.

    They should start playing the Chinese anthem before the games, and all the players can kneel

    Richard Bang used to work my rubiks cube when I first got it in the 70s and ive pretty much not been a fan of the entire nation since. He embarrassed me.

    Nations are, liberty is not. You seem to struggle with liberalism.

    Watching Silver fall over himself trying to please everyone is entertaining.

    How did he think that was going to play out?

    Did he really think Americans would like being hard balled by commie China.

    I’m as free market as anyone but you have to have principles over principals.

    Adam Silver is easily the best commissioner in pro sports today, but this hole is big, and hard to dig out of.

    Oh, he’s definitely in a no win situation. I feel like he’s recovered decently after handling the situation very poorly at the beginning.

    I’m all for individual rights.

    I wish we’d start selling citizens of Hong Kong firearms. They can’t beat China but maybe they make it so costly they win their freedom.
