I wish more people in the US would do what you are saying here. Instead they only get spoon fed ideas based on Fox News or CNN biases. Both are extremely slanted democrat or republican. So read both of those, and read other independent sources. Read international sources. Then make your own opinion. DO NOT JUST LISTEN TO CNN OR FOX NEWS. They are both extremely biased "fake" news full of lies and omissions. As far as Daryl goes, putting your opinion out there has repercussions. It's up to him to decide if the backlash is worth it or not. Make no mistake about it though, when you are a high profile GM for a multibillion dollar organization, there will be backlash no matter which side you support. For what it's worth, I support Daryl on this one. China is a monster when it comes to human rights. We aren't perfect over here by any means, and we are creeping dangerously closer to a socialist police state controlled behind the scenes by the CIA/FBI and powerful lobbyists, but China is much worse. They need to leave HK alone.
Tilman has that stupid rule, "there are no spare customers blah blah blah" so I'm sure he's pissed. I support Morey even though I loathe my sports to mix into real life. It ruins it for me. But yet, I support Morey and this is once chance for Voldemort to stand up for Morey and NBA just like they did against Turkey recently. The NBA doesn't shut up and dribble and that comes from the highest office on down.
The US never agreed to not taxing NYC, the way China agreed to not tax HK. Please don’t misrepresent information. That’s what political forums are for. People need to know the truth here.
Checking around hupu, man the hate is real. I don't think Morey will be fired but the Rockets will definitely take a major hit in terms of their business interest in China, at least in the short term if not long term (depending on how badly this HK situation becomes). This is gonna get uglier before it gets better. Honestly I feel Adam Silver is probably more pissed at Morey than Fertilla. Imagine all the NBA teams now having to answer questions when they go on these publicity tours asking about their stance on something they probably don't give a damn about.
Maybe Morey is going to leave the NBA in a blaze of glory? Honestly, he could move on and get into something else rather easily.
Lol not smart but brave move from Morey, putting himself and Rockets out there like this, and (hopefully) prepared to to pay the price for it. Meanwhile cockroach criminals from Hongkong still hide behind their masks.
This is typical amoral cowardice. Anything that threatens the seamless flow of dollars into their already overflowing coffers must be avoided like the plague....even if it's like an actual plague that kills people. Our billionaire ruling class folks. Don't you just love them?
That is pretty damn PEACEFUL compared to taking 2,000,000 Muslims and putting them in concentration camps.
There is no reason for it either, has an incredible amount of money already. Yet it is those outside the super rich that are taking the moral positions and also have the most to lose.
Overreact much? All Tilman is saying is a private Twitter handle is not the same as the official NBA Houston Rockets twitter handle and any communication from said private twitter handle does not represent any views or statement from the official NBA Houston Rockets organization. Seems obvious to me that he is reminding people that private and org channels are.
@dlite316 Those pro-Beijing thugs beat up peaceful protesters, including kids and pregnant women, and the Police did nothing about it. That's when the protest started to get violent. Now the Police and the thugs get a taste of their own medicine. And no one is looting.
Was about to say the same thing. I think we can comment on *Tilman's reaction tactic* here. But going deeper into politics.....save it for D&D
