What does that have to do with the situation?

Exactly. (Except for the matter of those business licenses gifted to the daughter of the man occupying the oval office. And perhaps a few EB-5 visas auctioned off here and there to would-be Chinese immigrant-investors by in-laws.)

Ted Cruz follows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's example and calls for the NBA to suspend operations with China, and disassociate themselves from Chinese censorship.

Then Apple pulls an app that pro-democracy protesters were using to track protest activity (and police movements) following criticism by the Chinese government.

There needs to be an app just to track developments related to Morey's comments, along with avarice, hypocrisy, and corporate cowardice.

One thought on Morey: His 'courage' would've meant a helluva lot more if he'd stepped down from his position and cut ties with the Rockets/NBA prior to making his statement of support for Hong Kong.

As it was, he was playing with Fritatta's money (and the NBA's), not his own. He calculated (correctly, so far) that he wouldn't lose any money by speaking out, and if the Rockets fire him, he comes a pro-democracy hero.

Morey spouted platitudes about "freedom" because he believes in US exceptionalism. He and the league are getting burned because of it.

You are engaging in unnecessary mind reading

Lebron weighs in in favor of China. Morey was "misinformed". Lebron has better geopolitical information than Morey. Guess that settles it. The King has spoken.
