This is going to get worse before it gets better. Hopefully we have some influential people stand up for things of value to them other than their pocketbook.
NBA in China

Are you naive? That statement by the NBA was a cover your ass after the fact.
Maybe I am, but do you think that media relations person with the Rockets is more afraid of what the NBA would do to her or what Tilman Fertitta (Rockets owner who denounced Morey’s tweet AND also started liking IG comments calling for Morey’s firing) would do to her?
Now that I think about it, there’s a decent chance the NBA is the reason Morey is still employed by the Rockets. I’m starting to question who is being naive here.
I imagine there is a lot going on that isn’t public. I think the some headlines have been misleading/excessive as they tend to be.
Thought this was appropriate. Where u at Nike?

Well, Kerr hasn't exactly been silent. Although he has shown pretty clearly his convictions go no deeper than his pocketbook
Kerr gave an angry rant in an interview suggesting that we are in no place to judge China because there are mass shootings here, and people have rights like the right to bear arms, and occasionally do bad things. It was a cringey strawman of a response that is getting blasted all over Twitter today.
Sorry I missed that been busy getting ready for upcoming races.
If that's the case he's discrediting himself and proving he's a sellout.
I am not going to bag too much on Kerr. It just makes previous comments throwaways to me. Its really hard to cause yourself financial ruin based on personal ethics. People do it, but they are great stories because its so rare.
I don't think it was Morey that wasn't educated.
Oh, I think he Morey might be educated, just not educated about how his twitter might affect the pocketbooks of NBA players, coaches, and owners.
