Warriors' Steve Kerr doesn't give opinion on Daryl Morey-China controversy
NBC Sports Bay Area ^ | October 8, 2019 | Logan Murdock

During his five-year tenure as Warriors coach, Steve Kerr has spoken out on a number of social topics about which he's passionate.

However, following the controversy surrounding Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey's comments on China, Kerr chose not to give an opinion on the matter.

"I don't," Kerr said following Warriors practice Monday evening. "It's a really bizarre international story, and a lot of us don't know what to make of it. So it's something I'm reading about just like everybody is, but I'm not going to comment further than that.

For the first time in his life, Kerr was speechless. Nice to bash people who do not fight back, but you get into the feeble position when someone can hit you back. Kerr is a bully and a coward.

The NBA is a whore for Communist money.

Simple as that.

Kerr is a ‘P’ word. He’s a know-nothing dunce. Spouts off about things with no facts or intelligence. Gets awfully quiet when it comes to obvious defense of human freedom.

It’s sickening how quick the sports world has adopted the Stalinist progressive agenda. Athletes, coaches and media. All of it.

Easy to trash your own country. So quick to bash trump or to look so “woke” in support of progressive policies but won’t say a word against your commie overlords because they will directly hurt your paycheck. Good job Kerr........Pathetic......

Don’t worry. All the major corporate sponsors that benefit from the child labor in China will force him to take the Communist Regime’s side soon enough.

Amazing how one tweet could expose just how rotten, fetid and hypocritical the NBA is at its core. Not unlike Disney who boycotts pro life Georgia but embraces with broad smiles the Chinese leaders that have established brutal concentration camps, persecute religious believers and are in the process of enslaving the people of Hong Kong. Never ever trust a leftist or a “progressive”. Anyone who can mold their conscience to acquiesce to the wholesale killing of pre born human life is capable of any moral aberration.

I hope someone has the guts to ask that smug POS popovich in San Antonio what he thinks of this NBA cowtowing to the communist Chinese.

-Criticism of POTUS

-Criticism of bathroom laws

-Support of banning the word ‘owner’

-Support of other ‘woke’ issues

These Doesn’t affect his or the NBAs bottom line.

Criticism of China DOES affect the bottom line.

Next time he speak out on a social justice issue., he’s only saying it because it doesn’t hurt him in the end. Such bravery

It's a really bizarre international story, and a lot of us don't know what to make of it.

Actually Steve, it's not bizarre it's very clear cut. The NBA, in the interest of money, will not dare criticize the PRC and will not back a movement for freedom in Hong Kong. So shut the f**k up about politics Mr Kerr and stick to dribbling. Can't stand the hypocrisy of the NBA on this issue....

No, because Stephen Curry is HUGELY popular in China, and the last thing the Warriors want is a controversy that would hurt that popularity overnight.

Yep.

And that stupid cow sportswriter Ramona Shelburne said what Morey said was deeply offensive to the Chinese. Deeply offensive to the leaders of the PRC sure.

To hell with the NBA.

“Kerr is a bully and a coward.”

The last 2 days Clay Travis has been spot on with this. Yesterday he skewered Adam Silver and his woke NBA that knuckled under for Chinese money. Today, it was Kerr, Popovich, Silver and LeBron. He rightly blasted them all for being hypocrites.

I remember the NBA trashing North Carolina over use of restrooms by trannies. Threatened to move All Star game from Charlotte. Big talkers. Now we find they aren’t so big.
