So he should have held his tongue to fight for freedom, because oppressors
Of that freedom are very sensitive? Are black athletes told or should hold their tongue
when taking about police brutality because it might upset or bother law enforcement or the police force? When police officers threatened to pull police protection away from sporting events because players were speaking out against police officers regarding the Trayvon Martin issue, they weren’t told they should have held their tongue.

It seems to me that Morey has decency and humanism.

It’s shocking to see players and the nba rushing and scrambling to apologize to china
and the people of China as if they are the ones being oppressed. But hey, you gotta protect your brand and money first, right?

I might be done with the NBA after this. I mainly watch soccer and football anyway.
