This is I think a good response from the league, but I didn't get the hate their first one got. I thought it basically said the same thing.
"the values of the league support individuals’ educating themselves and sharing their views on matters important to them"

Morey?

He tweeted "Fight for Freedom" which is a call to violence.

He should have known what the reaction would have been. Morey has always been a dumbfuck.

Well, add the NBA to the long, long list of things banned in China ?
 
My opinion on this is getting a bit more clear. I originally and still feel the Morey tweet was pretty dumb from a guy in his position.

But my feeling on the entire situation is "Fuck China!".

I don't give a rats azz if they drop the NBA altogether. Maybe the Chinese people will eventually get tired of their government?

Dropping the NBA is the least of the NBA's problems. Chinese companies could simply pull out of producing NBA goods or increase the cost of those goods.

This is how China will be operating in the future when they rule the world.

They will literally bulldoze the opposition.
 
Personally, I would take the common sense approach, making it clear that in our culture, we can distinguish between
what a government does and the people who are governed. If ANY government (including our own) does what we consider wrong-doing, they
will be called out. This is not an indictment on the actual Chinese people, or any other people.

Unfortunately, I don't think the common sense approach would work :(
 
Silver's reign as NBA commish is on borrowed time. This won't end well for him.
 
I really wouldn't be surprised if the exhibition game is cancelled now. I see the chinese throwing shit at the players.

"The game marked the first time a North American professional sports league has staged an event in India. It represented the NBA’s strongest push yet to penetrate a market with 1.3 billion people and served as a special homecoming for Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, who left his homeland as a teen to pursue his dreams in the United States."

...


NBA commissioner Adam Silver also addressed the media during a news conference before the game.

“Of course this is a landmark for the NBA in that it’s our first-ever game on Indian soil,” Silver said. “It’s been a long time in the works.”

Except they still have to feed their people. No they will not be ruling the world any time soon. At least not if the US can get past buying their crap.
