Why is this a stupid move?
pissing of your american fans. basically putting china first
Freeing Hongkong is not an approved woke topic. Only the masters in the NBA front office are wise enough to know what messages a grown assed man should be allowed to express.
It’s the only move.
Hong Kong is over.
It was a heroic struggle and we should have supported them to the hilt.
How about “free just ■■■■■■■play basketball”?
you can put anything you want on your jersey. except free hong kong
Pretty sure there are a lot of things you can’t put on on the back of a jersey.
The NBA is a business and doesn’t want to endanger its Chinese market.
Gets a big “meh” from me.
I doubt it. How about, “I support police?” I don’t think that would fly.
How did you verify this ? link ?
they may have changed it after the outcry
The NBA online store is happy to pawn off merchandise with any number of activist slogans, so long as they don't offend the Communist Party of China.

Hypocritical.
And also a lesson in how important the financial side of civil activism is. Boycotts have to be leveraged for effective change.

She had a segment last night showing her producers exchanging messages with some nba rep about this, and how the conversation progressed until they changed it.
