    Maybe Morey was just tired of traveling to China. Now he doesn't have to anymore.

    FUCK CHINA.

    Just in case my view on this wasn't clear enough. I have a pathological hatred for the government of that communist shithole, and it's personal for me because of how my father was treated while he did business over there. He's got plenty of lovely stories to tell.

    FUCK CHINA. AND FUCK JAMES HARDEN AND ANYONE ELSE WHO EITHER SUPPORTS THAT SHIT OR WANTS TO APOLOGIZE FOR THEM.

    This is better. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place so his tempered statement is understandable. But I do wonder what the repercussions would be if he just said F you to China altogether and pulled all NBA stuff off their shelves.

    I really wish they would have done that (but they won't) because I'm sure there are a lot of fans over there who would hopefully be upset by this and help be part the change that needs to happen there.

    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"

    As long as the majority of those that live on social media support what the individual's view is. Otherwise, screw them and they are out of the NBA.
