    You are clearly emotional and upset about this. If you don’t understand the context and why this is not just a person tweeting his opinion, then it’s best to leave it.

    Li-Ning, a Chinese sporting goods and apparel company, and sponsor Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Credit Card Center said on Sunday they were suspending their relationships with the Rockets.

    "We want to express our indignation and strong condemnation," Li-Ning posted according to the Reuters translation. "We have already stopped our cooperation with the Houston Rockets, and continue to urge them to give a clear answer on this matter."

    SPD Bank took a similar position on Sunday.

    "SPD Bank Credit Card Center expresses strong protest and opposition to the wrong remarks made by Houston Rockets' General Manager Daryl Morey," the bank said in a statement on its Weibo account.

    CCTV on Sunday, however, announced it would suspend broadcasts of Rockets games and other coverage of the Rockets in China.

    Tencent, an online partner of the NBA which streams games in China, announced it will allow subscribers that purchased a single-team plan to change their "home team" designation from the Rockets. Titan Sports reported that Tencent will suspend all reports and broadcasts related to the Rockets.

    The Chinese Consulate General spokesmen in Houston also released a statement condemning Morey's tweet.

    "We are deeply shocked by the erroneous comments on Hong Kong made by Mr. Daryl Morey, general manager of the Houston Rockets. We have lodged representations and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Houston Rockets, and urged the latter to correct the error and take immediate concrete measures to eliminate the adverse impact."

    No details were included about what measures were expected.

    Apologize for saying something in which he has no understanding of. Words have consequences. When you support the Hong Kong riots you are effectively promoting violence and murders. People’s lives are at stake, that’s why he needs to apologize. And don’t give me the “free speech” BS when Donald Sterling gets banned for saying he doesn’t want to hang out with black people.
    The double standard from some of you people is real.

    Don't wanna start a new political thread, but I believe this should be in the GARM since Rockets related:

    Fertitta is an absolute dip $hit. This is the result of years of being full of yourself.

    Tillman's true intentions will come out if he fires Morey over this. To let another countries political views influence your basketball operations is ****ing r****ded.

    He also needs to stay off of social media liking stupid ****.

    I hope President Yang doesn't have any business in China or they'll be banned next for saying that.

    The Rockets can survive the broken Chinese relationship but they will not survive losing Morey.
