Really interesting situation.

The question is: Is democracy a human right?

And if so... how do Americans reconcile supporting a league like the NBA, which has no problem doing business with China if it helps NBA owners’ bottom line?

How will AMERICANS feel about supporting the Rockets, if they fire Daryl Morey for his expression of a political view that China wants supressed?

Will the Rockets choose money or principle? And do Americans have a responsibility to care which one they pick?

Complicated stuff.

Did I say I want us to get involved? I said I’ve seen people who are apparently asking for American involvement as a response to you saying they are not asking for American involvement. The Hong Kong side has always wanted the situation open to international views. They want the world to watch and comment and be involved. It’s the other side likely to want it seen as an internal matter not to be concerned with.

The NBA, saying it hopes the league can help to unify people and cultural divides, weighed in Sunday night on the growing controversy surrounding a tweet by the Houston Rockets' general manager in which he voiced support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.

"We recognize that the views expressed by Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey have deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China, which is regrettable," the NBA said in the statement released Sunday night. "While Daryl has made it clear that his tweet does not represent the Rockets or the NBA, the values of the league support individuals' educating themselves and sharing their views on matters important to them.

"We have great respect for the history and culture of China and hope that sports and the NBA can be used as a unifying force to bridge cultural divides and bring people together."

The statement came after China's official basketball association, headed by Hall of Famer and Rockets great Yao Ming, said earlier in the day that it would suspend cooperation with the team.

China suspends work with Rockets over GM tweet

Fertitta on Morey tweet: Rockets are politics-free
The Chinese Basketball Association said Sunday on its Twitter-like Weibo account that Morey had made "improper remarks regarding Hong Kong" to which it expressed its "strong opposition."

Morey's now-deleted tweet from Friday read: "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong."

In a statement tweeted Sunday, Morey attempted to clarify the matter.

"I did not intend my tweet to cause any offense to Rockets fans and friends of mine in China," Morey said in the statement. "I was merely voicing one thought, based on one interpretation, of one complicated event. I have had a lot of opportunity since that tweet to hear and consider other perspectives."

China's relationship with the Rockets has been especially close because Yao played his entire NBA career with the team. Yao was appointed as the association's president in February 2017, in what was presented as a step toward reform for an organization that had in the past been led by government bureaucrats.

"I have always appreciated the significant support our Chinese fans and sponsors have provided," Morey tweeted. "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."

The CBA's reaction underscores Beijing's extreme sensitivity about foreign attitudes toward the ongoing protests that have lately grown into violence in the semi-autonomous territory. China accuses foreign parties in the United States and elsewhere of encouraging the demonstrations.

On Friday night, Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta denounced Morey's tweet, saying the Rockets are not a political organization.

Fertitta told ESPN's Tim MacMahon that he felt compelled, due to the reaction to Morey's tweet, to publicly clarify that the Rockets do not take political positions, but Fertitta stressed that he has no issues with Morey.

"I have the best general manager in the league," Fertitta said. "Everything is fine with Daryl and me. We got a huge backlash, and I wanted to make clear that the organization has no political position. We're here to play basketball and not to offend anybody."

NBA has been about giving a voice to their players and staff going back to David Stern in 1980s. What do you do now? Muzzle your players/staff from speaking up on issues? You going to tell Pop/Kerr/Curry to not discuss Trump again? You pick and choose political issues based on profit lines?


Yea they ain't getting it. Protesters are gonna lose, don't think it will be another Tienanmen though. Too many cameras this time

Certainly not. The whole world is watching. China has 10,000 "secret" troops there, probably more but they can't do another Tiananmen Square. I read the person who took those images of Tiananmen had to hide the camera roll in his toilet or something to not let the Chinese soldiers get to it. Then it was secretly smuggled out for the world to see. That crap isn't happening this time around with smartphones and satellites/ubiquitous internet.

NBA Operates Basketball Training Center In Chinese Region Where 1 Million Uighur Muslims Said To Be Imprisoned


https://www.inquisitr.com/5677530/nba-training-center-chinese-uighur-minority-imprisoned/

The National Basketball Association Houston Rockets franchise was forced to declare itself “non-political” on Sunday after the club’s general manager, Daryl Morey, posted a statement supporting pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong earlier, as The Inquisitr reported. Morey’s tweet produced an immediate reaction from the Chinese government and Chinese Basketball Association, condemning Morey and saying that they would sever business ties with the Rockets.

The livestreaming service that carries NBA games even declared that it would no longer stream Rockets games. The sudden reaction provoked Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta to take to Twitter himself, to declare his franchise “NOT a political organization.”

But the NBA has nonetheless placed itself in the middle of one of China’s most brutal political situations, according to a report published last year by Slate.com.

According to the report, since 2016, the NBA has operated one of its international “training academies” in the heart of Xinjiang province — a region most American companies have scrupulously avoided because Xinjiang is also the center of Chinese government human rights violations against the ethnic Muslim Uighur population that lives there.

According to a BBC report, the Chinese government has imprisoned about one million Uighur people — roughly 10 percent of the Uighur population in Xinjiang — in what the government calls “counter-extremism centers,” but what activists say are actually massive internment camps where Uighur prisoners are forced to swear allegiance to the Chinese government.

“I hate to say this, but if you’re a foreign company in China, you’re making political choices,” wrote Washington Post columnist Isaac Stone Fish on his Twitter account.

In addition to the internment camps, which have appeared on satellite imagery even though the Chinese government denies their existence, Xinjiang itself has become “ground zero for a repressive revolution into a total control state,” according to Fish, who also authored the Slate.com report on the NBA “academy” in Xinjiang.

Even ordinary shoppers in the region are subject to facial recognition technology which the government says allows it to identify “terrorists.” Residents who own smartphones are required to install an app that alerts authorities to any “dangerous” material on their phones. The Uighur Muslim women are prohibited from wearing their religiously required veils, while men are restricted from growing “abnormal” beards.

A United Nations human rights official, according to Fish, has described the region as a “sort of ‘no rights zone.'”

“The NBA should no longer engage with Xinjiang,” Fish wrote, acknowledging that the move may cost the NBA some Chinese fans. “The alternative is to continue to help China whitewash a network of concentration camps.”

"I am sure he's a fine NBA general manager, and I will take at face value his subsequent apology that he was not as well informed as he should have been," he said. "But the hurt that this incident has caused will take a long time to repair.

[QUOTE=guy]Morey definitely screwed the NBA here :oldlol: . He may not get fired just cause of the optics attached to it but he basically put the NBA in a lose-lose situation here. Whatever the NBA does, they either piss off China or all the SJWs around the world. Terrible, unnecessary move on his part. Best possible move is probably for him to just resign apologizing for being such a distraction, which wouldn

That's why it's such luls. Sure it's billions of dollars but if Bron and Steve Kerr and Pop are gonna insult people like Trump, it's sad life that they are gonna back off and not say China is ****ing up. Shit we got a trade war with em. **** a partner. Take an L. PUNISH EM.

You don't bend the knee to the commies even tho Yao seemed like a cool guy.

Those super wack apology tweets everyone writes, it's like they are all written by the same lawyer.

Edit: let's be clear. Whatever you think of the racial divide or rhetoric in America... it's nothing compared to the shit going on in China and esp what they are doing in HK. Time to actually get some ****ing balls boys. That's what being a radical is really about.

why are you singling out harden lol

Because he is the first player to apologize to China like a cowering dog. I'm embarrassed to see the nba do the same. I'm ashamed of the Nets owner doing the same and Rockets owner. They are all disgraces to America for defending a totalitarian government known for running modern day internment camps, killing anyone who disagrees/speaks out and events like Tienanmen Square. Their human rights violations are well-known and well-documented. Nobody with a modicum of education on this subject should be defending an oppressive regime like that. It's better to keep quiet than beg for forgiveness from China like a sniveling coward.

You talk tough with your black-and-white soapboxing approach, but will YOU give up purchasing anything and everything that comes from China? Fat chance. What if you had to either apologize, or give up every item of luxury and convenience youre accustomed to?

It’s not so simple. You wanna sound like a hero, when really you sound like a try-hard.

[305Baller]

It's always easy to tell which posters are the stupid rubes who've either never had a valid passport or never been beyond Mexico or Canada.

I'd wager exactly 0% of them could tell you why HK became a Brit colony and what year it was handed back to China without looking it up.

HK are citizens of China. China lets them "mostly" enjoy the benefits of a Western style democracy in order to allow for a smooth transition into reincorporating it with the rest of the country. It was designated as a "special economic zone" and intended to be fully reincorporated by 50 years after its handover (1997 for the jacktards too ignorant or too young to bother remembering).

It is strictly an internal matter for the Chinese. The US has as much business peddling democracy in HK as China does telling the shithole state of Georgia's Bible-beating inbredneck politicians to respect abortion rights.

Pop and Kerr are US citizens and have vested interests in what goes on in the US. Hong Kongers aren't US citizens.

Morey is free to believe and say whatever the hell he wants. That he was too stupid to foresee the repercussions of his statement is his own fault; not the Chinese for being pissed.

"Freedom" was general/vague. It could just be something as simple as freedom to elect politicians of their own choosing (instead of CCP approved puppets). It could have been pushing for HK to become an independent state (which would be mind numbingly stupid to do).

The protestors are essentially a bunch of kids too young to remember that China never intended to let HK operate indefinitely as a western style democracy. They weren't supposed to remain a special economic semi-autonomous zone forever.

Only a complete moron would think that SJW type "radicals" have some sort of obligation to traipse across the globe trying to impose western values in distinctly non-western societies/cultures.

Your comparisons are, in a few words, dumber than shit.

You are very literal. That Morey's tweet caused so much backlash in China proves that they 'read between the lines.'

I'm in some ways supporting of the 'we shouldn't force democracy on others' when used as a reason to not overthrow governments, but speaking out? Why does it matter if they are a citizen or not, they are a human...

You neednot traipse anywhere... just Twitter. The same can be applied to people who are apologizing. What is their obligation? It's bitchmade.

The comparison is this (that you are saying is stupid): people will speak out about what they believe is social injustice when and only when it doesn't affect their bottom line. Sounds stupid, in a way, why would anyone say something, true or not, that would lose them money, but then you think about y'know... integrity. You'd have to be from Georgia to understand that, though.

BTW: as an aside, Georgia is actually a pretty nice state. I think you are thinking of Alabama.

Get the facts right.
There is a basic law, signed by both Chinese and British government back in the 80's, to let HK remain a special region for 50 years (started from 1997). Only national defense and diplomacy belongs to Chinese government and the rest belongs to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

It is NOT internal matters.
The fvcking PRC "PROMISED" that, and they did not.
It is an international agreement.

These guys were stupid for apologizing. China’s still cancelling stuff left and right. Now they just look like wusses.


Trey Parker and Matt Stone's apology to china after calling them out last week. humility at its finest.


"Like the NBA, we welcome the Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts. We too love money more than freedom and democracy. Xi doesn't just look like Winnie the Pooh at all. Tune into our 300th episode this Wednesday at 10! Long live the Great Communist Party of China! May this autumn's sorghum harvest be bountiful! We good now China?"

China has become ballsy since then. Their economy has been growing, military growing and they feel they can do whatever they want anywhere anytime because nobody will touch them.

Because he did absolutely nothing wrong. China is just really blowing this wayyy out of proportion. Even Adam Silver said he supports Morey voicing his opinion

I would like to use the initials (PRC/People's Republic of China), instead of just China. The communist just hijacked the country but not really representing the will of people.

Their reserve funds are shrinking, foreign companies are moving out, manufacturers are relocating to South East Asia, Huawei is condemned by United States... their Belt and Road policy is a total failure.
They are not as powerful as they look like.

If U.S. and Europe/England have the balls to fight against them, they could.
Unfortunately, James Fvcking Harden set a very bad example to people.

pop on Adam not backing down from China:

"He came out strongly for freedom of speech (today). I felt great again. He's been a heck of a leader in that respect and very courageous. Then you compare it to what we've had to live through the past three years, it's a big difference. A big gap there, leadership-wise and courage-wise. It wasn't easy for him to say. He said that in an environment fraught with possible economic peril. But he sided with the principles that we all hold dearly, or most of us did until the last three years. I'm thrilled with what he said. The courage and leadership displayed is off the charts by comparison."
