Clutchfans for the most part are sticking up more for Morey than for Hong Kong protestors. The most we'd give is some internet outrage points...
You are equating all American and Chinese people as children while propping up governments of both countries as adults. Who do you think make up...
No need to build a strawman, I said he didn't double down - what Morey did was give a non-apology. What China wanted Morey to say: "My tweet was...
If Jackie Chan came out and said Americans don't deserve freedoms and that the constitution needs to be destroyed, and replaced with Asian...
That's correct - China can't directly control Houston's success. But when it comes to the specific issue of nationalism, China has proven to be...
There's politician code speak, and then there's outright straight talk. Particularly given the language barrier, I'm going to say this was a...
The small market vs big market thing is part of a larger argument that we can have - but I think if you agree there is some impact to player...
Disagree. A direct quote from Morey. "I was merely voicing one thought, based on one interpretation, of one complicated event." So denouncing...

Agree with Stephen A's point on Morey being too impulsive here. When this whole thing blows over, what effect would Morey's tweet have over the...
Incentives - politicians aren't worried about offending China because they're neither receiving lobbying money from the Chinese, nor votes. Find...
Sounds like at the end of the day, we're in agreement. Maybe the Chinese government played a hand in Tencent's decision, but did the Chinese...
I agree, Rockets fans don't care - the whole attitude this board has about standing up to China, that's just posturing from our keyboards, just...
Come on now, some HK protestors might "feel good" about Morey supporting them, but every day there are tweets flying around both supporting and...
I believe Morey would un-do his tweet if he could, there's no doubt. His tweet did zilch for the people of Hong Kong while the Rockets took a...
If the bold is true, then the dumbest thing Morey could have done was to directly tweet about HK to the entire world.
