One-party state ruled by the Chinese Communist Party. QED

I think what many people are missing is why wasn't Daryl Morey fired?
Forget about freedom of speech. His tweet was silly and caused this mess. Something like that should not be tweeted by an NBA executive.
Imagine if Rory McIlroy posted support for white nationalist supporters.
His tweet was a great moment in the fight for freedom.
Money, the root of all evil.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver reacts as Chinese TV cancels game broadcasts
Evil is the root of all evil...
It was a political statement that had no place from someone in that position.
Imagine if Tim Cook posted something like that.
Again, he has the right to post that but it was stupid to post that. Imagine if Tiger Woods posted support for a group like Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA?
Lebron.... sometimes free speech isn't good.
Why doesn't he ask 1.4 Billion Chinese how they feel about that.
The idiot can barely speak English, never mind trying to act like a freaking Aristotle.
I am not a Federalist fan. Didn't they rip Colin Kaepernick for speaking out?
Don't recall. Don't care.
I'm usually keenly aware of hypocrisy like that.
I don't see hypocrisy either way. Two separate issues.
No. That's not what I said. China is communist because it is ruled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Ideology has nothing to do with it.
North Korea can call itself a republic because there's nothing in the definition of "republic" that prevents it.
China angered by pro-democracy tweet by Houston Rockets’ GM - MarketWatch
Ted Cruz hit it out of the park with his tweet:
Ted Cruz on Twitter: "As a lifelong @HoustonRockets fan, I was proud to see @dmorey call out the Chinese Communist Party’s repressive treatment of protestors in Hong Kong.
Now, in pursuit of big $$, the @nba is shamefully retreating.… https://t.co/wgNEd03pGD"
Maybe just maybe the NBA shouldn't be doing so much business with a communist country that has such a horrible record with human rights.
Not really. "Shut up and throw" versus "shut up and dribble." No different.
I praise Colin's gutsy stance and reject LeBron's cowardice in the face of real adversity. Now that is consistent.
