NBA blocks freehongkong on jerseys

not a good move on their part.
the NBA lets you put custom names on the back of a jersey

freeus allowed. freeusa. freecanada

but freehongkong is blocked.

(i verified this myself after hearing about it)

a stupid move

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 ?

I was just able to , so maybe they changed it ?

this is from NBA.com

That one is too many characters but I can do “supportcops”

they may have changed it after the outcry

There is a country where the nba makes a lot of money. More money than it does in the US. Anyone want to take a guess

Wow…I agree.

You should thank laura ingraham.

Hypocritical.

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

For what ?

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.
