GM of the Rockets supports Hong Kong and is forced to immediately retract comments. Owner of Rockets apologizes so does the NBA. Where are the NBA players and ESPN bitching about rights in supporting freedom of speech in HK. What hypocrites liberals and the MSM are when it involves billions of dollars. Maybe the police will have to shoot unarmed people before they speak. Oh they already did. I’m waiting NBA players with your big shoe and promo deals in China. You’re not hypocritical are you? Go over and join the protesters NBA commissioner and owners and players. March for peoples rights.
I suppose they are not worried about the Chinese recreating their product and undercutting their global business.

NBA leaders like LeBron, Pop, Steve Kerr are quick to speak out on any number of issues. Good for them. When the NBA completely caves to a legitimate, innocent show of support for Hong Kong protestors, however, they all go silent.
This is the same 'woke' league that pulled its all star game from Charlotte over a non-existent transgender bathroom issue, yet quickly backtracks to Chinese sensitivities.
reconsider.
