>So you're okay with US citizens being censored...in the US?

I think they absolutely SHOULD speak up. Of course they should.

But they won't. Because that's corporate life. And all of the biggest names in the NBA would lose SHIT TONS of money cutting ties with China. Not just through the NBA, through their own personal endorsement deals. So they're not going to do it. Unless American consumers have as big an effect on their pocketbooks as losing Chinese support would. And that seems... really unlikely.
