Wait, a person expressed views in favour of democracy and felt he had to backtrack because of pressure from a dictatorship?<p>Here&#x27;s how this works: we express views that anger dictatorships, and if there is even a minute chance that your business tanks because of it - then you were in the wrong market or had the wrong owners.<p>The right thing to do here for the NBA would be to stand behind this tweet. Corporations need to be constantly <i>trolling</i> China. I&#x27;m talking megacorps marking the anniversaries of Tianmen, or calling Taiwan &quot;the totally independent country of Taiwan&quot; and so on.

If a guy who has earned a GM&#x27;s salary for years can&#x27;t stick by his guns regarding free speech before the dollar then maybe nobody can.

&gt; &quot;Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong&quot; -&gt; &quot;I was merely voicing one thought, based on one interpretation, of one complicated event,&quot; he said, adding that he had since heard and considered other perspectives.<p>Unless I hear those &quot;other perspectives&quot;, I&#x27;ll simply assume he was exposed to pressure, not reason.

China is a huge market for the NBA, and it could disappear in a tweet.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.si.com&#x2F;nba&#x2F;2019&#x2F;10&#x2F;07&#x2F;daryl-morey-rockets-china-hong-kong-basketball" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.si.com&#x2F;nba&#x2F;2019&#x2F;10&#x2F;07&#x2F;daryl-morey-rockets-china-...</a><p>Now that China is the second largest economy, it has a lot of global influence.

It seems that the latest South Park episode was once again timely.

Could you imagine the NBA making players apologize for posting Tweets criticizing Trump? Remember when LeBron and others wore &quot;I Can&#x27;t Breathe&quot; t-shirts and Adam Silver supported them?<p>Teams &amp; players should be taking a strong stand here to support one of their own, but this really shows that there is a $$$ value for everything, including freedom of speech and expression.<p>Economic threats from a foreign government should be treated the same as military ones. I&#x27;m sure Rockets games will be back on air in an instant if US sanctions expand to completely block NBA broadcasting in China, player visas and sports apparel manufacturing.
