Report: Rockets general manager Daryl Morey to step down

[shockedcanadian]

It's China First, always. I am always suspicious of timing. He falls on his sword for daring to speak out on principles which the Communists didn't like.

I'm done with that league of soft players who can't even stand up for free speech and liberty.

Morey was at the centre of controversy in 2019 when he tweeted his support for the Hong Kong protests. China responded by pulling the NBA off its television airwaves and also suspended sponsorship agreements. NBA commissioner Adam Silver and Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta supported Morey, despite China’s requests for his dismissal.
