NBA scrambles to lick China's boots after Rockets GM tweets support of HK protest

[BmorePat87]

After the Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted support for the pro-democracy protests in HK against Chinese authoritarianism, China and many Chinese sponsors of the Rockets began to pull support from the Rockets and NBA.



The NBA is in full scramble mode to repair the damage Morey did by defending American ideals against tyranny. Morey put out an apology tweet that is just pathetic

2/ I have always appreciated the significant support our Chinese fans and sponsors have provided and I would hope that those who are upset will know that offending or misunderstanding them was not my intention. My tweets are my own and in no way represent the Rockets or the NBA.

He's getting bipartisan calls to apologize for the tweet.
