The NBA has positioned itself as the most progressive of the major American sports leagues by encouraging free speech and spreading basketball around the world. Now those forces have collided and placed the league in the eye of an international crisis.
The league’s carefully plotted strategic emphasis on China was jolted off course on Friday night when Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeted an image with the words “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong,” in reference to the pro-democracy protests against China’s...
Daryl has the freem of speech. We should also admit that Chinese people have the freedom of not working with NBA.
Ridiculous: CCP used its power to silence an American to say standing with freedom. standwithmorey
Stand for Houston Rockets. Stand for Hong Kong. We are bot afraid of CCP’s white terror. They are not the king of the world. standwithmorey

This is the way Political interfering in the life of people in absolutes regimens.
you can see how Chinese gov suppress the freedom of speech. its about the globe not only hk
It’s ironic that HongKong fights so hard for freedom, while NBA gave up its freedom so easily. China is obviously invading USA with her money. So plz StandWithHongKong , as HK is at the frontline to against China tyranny on behalf of the free world!

China is more important than freedom. chinazi
Why any party of US have to apologise to China Government when the Chinese citizens play joke on 911?! It’s not funny! It’s a terrorism! Chinazi standwithmorey StandwithHK We want FreedomOfSpeech but no terrorism
This NBA-Hong Kong-China mess is fascinating. The NBA is super woke when it comes to things like made up US transgender bathroom disputes, but bent the knee to China when Daryl Morey came out in support of democracy & upset communists. Shows you how hypocritical the league is.
TheRenderNBA Cash rules everything around me, oh and China
Go watch South Park Season 23 episode 2, its on YouTube, they are right. Big corps in U.S. kneel down to a totalitarian CCP regime & give up all the core values of U.S., just to grab some more RMB
How could NBA Kowtou to CCP?! this is shameful! How could they allow China to suppress their freedom of speech?!
If you support freedom and democracy, you will be banned from China. Terrible right? People in HongKong are experiencing such kind of white terror every day!
This is why the world should stand against totalitarianism together! You will NEVER have freedom of speech if you wanna do business with China/ get sponsor! They are using $$ to control the world& take away all human rights! Don't be afraid of them! Lets fight against them tgt!
言论自由？911是为自由而战？我们无条件支持多来几次911？这言论合适吗？自由吗？价值观正确吗？
Those who have relationship with CCP lose their freedom of speech. Not only in Hong Kong, but everywhere among the world!

If this is the so-called liberal democracy, then I have nothing to say.
FedUpSpeakinUp Isn't this an AMERICAN TEAM Geez, get some balls (sic), NBA!! All Americans should be supporting democracy in Hong Kong!
The concept of nationalism n freedom r so distorted in those ppl's mind. And they hv great influence. This is alarming.
morey is right and all HKers appreciate his speaking up. he has the vision over the totalitarianism. there're no rioters, but only tyranny. thanks for speaking up for him and stay with HK.
It's not pro democracy protest, it's pro separation protest.
Communist censorship is expanding around the world!!
It’s is very horrible if you think about that, even NBA is under the influences of CCP.
It's not pro-democracy protest, it's pro-violence riot.
Good stand firm.

China has almost done with oppressing her people’s freedom of speech, and now the whole world has to follow her order? World, do treasure freedom in your country.
Americans should not tolerate this. They will control others things in the future.

Well this is the result for dealing with CCP company. They will use $$ to stop you standing with true values Freedom justice mean NTH to them. Time to BoycottChina tgt. if not soon or later ChiNazi will get to your safety.. they now got NBA isn’t it ? ResistBeijing
Cooperate with China is like taking drugs. You may enjoy benefit in the first place, but then you get addicted and lose your own values. Let's alert to chinazi. Don't buy its bad-quality good and let China suppress us back. boycottChina StandwithHK standwithmorey standwithk
This is a naked example of how CCP China is threatening freedom of speech in America and globally. Getting investment from China = letting CCP control what you can and cannot say and do. That’s no more freedom once you trade with CCP China for money.
chinazi tells others not to intervene its affair while giving pressure to other countries to force them following its totalitarian agenda. How ironicI standwithmorey.Money can't buy consciousness. Not even bullet destroy it. (Words in the pic) StandwithHK HongKongProtest

All of us should have our own choice to choose what we like / dislike, so I think all of the people who support FreedomOfSpeech should be stand with Daryl Morey & let him know that he will never walk alone 🗣️📢 TY
This is rule of CCP. Knee / obey.
It’s really sad that even the world-wide famous NBA needs to bow before China! Really bad!
The chinese communist party will swallow up the universal values step by step...
Don't judge with your simple eyes when you do not exactly know the real situation about these protests and what real problem is in Hongkong
Fight for freedom, battling with the CCP. Stand with Hong Kong children.
DiMartinoBooth It is best to have suspended the ties early. More to come out of China. We need to stand for freedom.
Ha ha. Either we all continue to be ignorant of this China problem, or face and resolve this world issue.
Would the opposite have happened? This demonstrates that no one can be truly free, even if you are in the US, let alone HK, when you have any dealings with a Totalitarian regime
Most of well known brands, sports, food, luxury, arts and culture are come from US, England or European countries.. they can’t avoid of everything forever.. they need to accept to follow the world trends but not to change it
CCP believes they can control any foreign business with their economic power. It’s time we stand up and say no. StandWithHongKong standwithmorey

it might be the first time in NBA but the same thing had happened in Hong Kong and rest of the world for years. China threatens private companies, brands and individuals who had opposing views with its economical power. it's not about US vs China anymore. It's freedom vs China.

This is a perfect illustration of how China and its people are bossing around the world, putting words into other's mouth and threatening others by their so-called power.

Obviously western media makes people believe HK riots are peaceful. But indeed it is not.
Beijing is trying to manipulate everyone doing trade with them. First is HongKong, which the CCP trying to deny their promise of democracy and self governance. Then is NBA, now Rockets are put in huge pressure of firing their GM. Will the United States be next victim?
Someone still has a backbone? On the other hand, Warriors will be happy to consolidate Houston’s fans in China
It’s just a tip of iceberg. A lot of Hollywood celebrities and directors have already knee down in front of money. I mean CCP here
People should watch latest southpark episode: 'I want to be proud of who we are, guys. And anybody who would betray their ideals just to make money in China isn't worth a lick of spit.'
We China want American company to do anything following our comments Why since we will rule all of you Americans in 10 years
The Clippers boss Sterling was forced to sell the team by the board because of racial discrimination. Even the NBA League forbids Sterling to participate in any team matters. So if the Rockets general manager wants to make money in China,learn to respect，
When are they going to cut ties with the Dallas Mavericks?
See? This is an example showing how overbearing China is. Please resist totalitarianism together with Hong Kong.
It’s the best example of how China uses economic power to threaten Americans’ freedom of speech. That’s why the world should stand against chinazi.

Yet another reason why the Socialist ideal that government needs to meddle in everything is just bad business.
The Rockets have huge business contacts with China, and Morey’s remarks touch on China’s sovereignty. This is why China has boycotted the Rockets. If Morey is just an ordinary American, then no one in China cares what he said.
I’m now a huge Rockets fan!!

Before you put your comments, learn truth first as much as you can. otherwise, it will just show how arrogant, ignorant, and stupid you are. everyone has right to say anything, but everyone also has responsibility of what he/she says

Whoopsie!
freedom！
SouthPark was right

FEAR THE BEARD
everything in the book Yellow Peril are happening.
Opening up didn't make China more democratic. It made democracies more Chinese.
you let the manager eat pork in islamic world and talk about racist in the US. It is true that white pigs need to be slammed. you wanna 911 again?
TVMohandasPai Chellaney - This is the economic power abuse that China inflicts. India being a consumer of Chinese ware, should be able to make its displeasure expressed expressly. Usually, I see the opposite; China bullying India; it’s customer. Something does seem right.
Good on the manager. We need to stop caring about what they think about our support for democracy.
Stupid reaction. Why must be that sensitive.
China is a authoritarian dictatorship! A country full of corrupt communist party insiders !! Time for a change in China - we r with you Hong Kong HongKongProtests HongKongPolice china
Dang right. Already annoying the guy wussed out and deleted his tweet. China wants an explanation tell em 'Merica' and nothing else. The NBA is going to define their business relationship with how they respond. Do they want China to bend em over and ram it in anytime they want?
F..k China.
Everyone saying 'good for the Rockets ' or 'now I'm a Rockets fan.' It was their GM Daryl Morrey, not the franchise as a whole. The team owner has already separated the franchise from Morrey's tweet. Saying that he doesn't speak for the team and the team is not political.
I love Hong Kong.
dmorey was right the first time. Free people in the US & worldwide stand with the people of Hong Kong against the communist tyranny in China. Team should have supported him, regardless of $$ impact.
FixedIt, . 🤨👍🏾
Good for the Rockets!
I’m a warrior fan and used to hate the rockets. No longer. Hope the rest of the NBA has the guts to stand up for what is right over what is most profitable.
Do the right thing, NBA . Don’t kowtow to these ruthless thugs. The NBA can make it without this BS.
Yao Ming about to get called in the mediate
I just became a Houston fan
More like supporting the rioters and chaos
Guess China doesn’t like to hear the truth about themselves.
Thank you Rockets✅
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Now the world knows what Hongkongers are fighting for.
GOOD
Who the hell is China?
Sports and politics don’t mix well.
