    You think attendance was bad before, it's only going to get worse. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

    If this nonsense rids us of all Chinese affiliation then it was worth it. My last bit of respect for Les Alexander vanished when I saw our Chinese “city edition” Jersey. Greedy pig. I’ll take any owner over that guy.

    I would be more worried if he had riled up a different group of people. The Chinese blowing up TC...I'd think that is unlikely.

    What a shame. Freaking politics strike again. I hope things improve as the season progresses, but it feels like a dark cloud is hanging over the organization for the first time that i can remember. This really sucks.

    Good thing we cut Zhou when we did. He could be a double agent to, like, leave a door propped open, or sumpin.

    This is crazy, driven by a single retweet by Morey, quickly deleted and apologized for after he was overwhelmed with huge numbers of tweets that could only have been put out by "bots," pumped up by the Chinese government for god knows what reason. All a wild overreaction, in my humble opinion, and now this.

    What a world. Thanks for the heads-up, @cyberx.

    Chinese government isn’t going to send anyone to hurt Morey. They’re not the US government :eek:

    Let’s not conflate the Chinese government with the people of China.

    Easy solution. Hand out Daryl Morey masks with his likeness to the first 5,000 fans.

    Good thing we played the Sharks before the tweet. China might have paid DMo to secretly poison Morey.

    Honestly, I feel like the craziness is really only in the GARM and Twitter. I feel like in reality the threats and craziness are not going to effect the game or Toyota Center

    He didn't actually apologize for the Tweet or his beliefs, he apologized that people were mad.......nuance is everything.

    Reasonable questions; I still ‘suspect’ a ‘resignation’ may be the only way out.

    What a world.
