    Warriors are fine because they know how to pick the popular and favorite political views. If they openly support Trump, or condemn Israels killing Palestinians or support Yellow vests, they will be Moreyed.

    How in the world is Moreys view not considered popular? I missed the part where support for dictatorship crackdowns were liberal popular mainstream views.

    My main takeaway from this is how hypersensitive and thin-skinned the Chinese govt and its supporters are. It would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic.

    Ultimately...Morey should have been smarter. He knows the Rockets connection with China. I agree with his post, but this was avoidable, and now it’s going to severely cost the Rockets and the NBA.

    Curious to see what the consequences of this will be, but it certainly has become a much bigger thing than I anticipated last night.

    Man, you must be doing shitty business in China. Whoever they are talking about, they will never leave business in China, they are the master in business in China unlike you.

    This is a fact. And it can’t be said enough.

    We even think we can solve or stop the HK situation, if we just step in. lulz. Such naïveté and arrogance.

    Oh, well. We are a very stupid nation, because we think we are so smart. So smart we fall for Fake News, which is proven over and over again right here at cfnet, when we post Twitter NBA rumors about trades, and talk 40 pages about them.

    Any morons actually believed Silver will punish anyone making political comments (especially when they are RIGHT) should go to twitter and searching for all these Pop interviews first.

    It is not like Daryl has been tweeting solely supporting stuff of his daughters, there were controversial content, mainly sports related, now this has gotten more political. Who knows what's next?

    Look, another know-nothing dunce parading cable news talking points as knowledge. China has not been communist for at least 30 years now, it is a largely capitalist economy. NO ONE in China is talking up communism, not even the Chinese Communist Party. Stop embarrassing yourself.

    This absurd statement just shows that:

    'Westerners' need to refrain from being overconfident, judgmental or meddling on things they have no idea with and happening an earth away.

    Exactly, we can all have our political opinions, but Morey should know there's a time and a place for everything. As a public figure, he should know his private thoughts need to be expressed privately.

    Different culture.

    It's just like the chinese people would have a hard time to understand why americans are so hypersensitive toward race issues.

    Territory division is the ultimate taboo in chinese culture.

    This is it, everyone. We have found the ultimate example of the black pot & kettle.

    I see that China is now calling out Morey for "hurting China's bottom line". Maybe they realize that boycotting the Rockets means they won't buy all of the merchandise that they manufacture.

    Morey screwed up big time, you can't let your personal beliefs out when you represent a company that is doing major business with the primary offender.

    I think most people stand with Hong Kong, but most people are not working in an executive position at a company that has business ties with the government of the offending side.

    I doubt anyone in the Rox org, including Morey know exactly what is going on there, and he can certainly HAVE THOSE FEELINGS, but you can't type them out in public.

    That was a major faux paux and unlike the Morey we have known who is usually much more social media savvy.

    I expect him to apologize very soon.
