Actually though,

So far this is a very stand up reaction by the NBA in general.

It seems hard to immediately qauntify the impact of choosing money over democracy and freedom. I am glad the NBA can see things for how they are.

But Absolute commends to the NBA for this. 10% drop in Salary cap is fine. That is nothing compared to the cost of freedom and democracy.

Like actually this is a precedent I hope is continued. I cannot be more proud of being an NBA fan right now.

DEMOCRACY OVER MONEY
FREEDOM OVER SILENCED VOICES!

True story.

NBA's initial response was like okay let's try to be everyones friend.

Then when they realized their own roots were about to turn on them for kissing China's ass they finally grew some balls and said nah fuck it MURICA FREEDOM DEMOCRACY HELL YEAH

Not sure if the following was discussed or not...

"LeBron James grilled Adam Silver on whether Rockets GM would be disciplined over Hong Kong tweet: report"

You know who looked even worse? Stephen A Smith, his takes were hot garbage “shut up and dribble” type shit too up until this morning.

Yea i mean. We should all know by now that Steven A never stands up against Lebron. They are probably very very close friends.

wish Blizzard followed the NBA's example

Agreed. Already deleted my D2 account in protest. I had just gotten my summon druid to travincal in hell (hardcore). Disappointing, but I had to do it.

I’m going to the Rockets season opener versus MIL Thursday & thinking about wearing a Fuck China / pro Hong Kong shirt under my Olajuwon jersey. I go to a lot of games so I don’t wanna get banned, so I may just flex it toward the end of the game or something
