You start to walk back on comments, or support movements that are against democracy and liberation, it's not going to go well.
America is a democratic state, with a strong foundation and focus on freedom ( or alleged freedom). Hong Kong is fighting for its liberation and freedom, and for the UK/China treaty to continue to be acknowledged correctly.
You think the protests and boycotts against the NFL regarding Kap's kneeling was an explosive issue, this will be far greater than that. Up until know, the NBA never had to face anything of that nature. There was the Donald Sterling situation, but the NBA quickly addressed that situation, and that was more of an isolated issue, and not a global one.
Morey showing his support for people fighting for their lives, liberation and to have a democratic existence, and showing his support while living in a country that is supposed to be the symbol of freedom, and for the NBA To buckle because China is pulling its affiliations , it could be perceived that they are backing communism or a communistic country.
That would also be perceived that business ties and business affairs are more important than the welfare and well being of people.
So for Harden to come out and say or try to save face with the people of China, all while the people of Hong Kong are being physically, politically, and verbally harmed........Really speaks volumes on what is being considered as more important. And would be hypocritical, since ball players here are at home are always talking about social justice, police brutal, as well as demonstrating with tshirts, tweets, etc.
