Of course. And it certainly does seem that way.

There is no longer such a thing as Corporate America.

To be fair, I haven’t heard President Trump tweeting in support of the Hong Kong protesters either. Have you?

All statements contain political statements.
All political statements contain micro aggressions.
All micro aggressions are immoral.
Therefore, all statements are immoral.

You describe Corporate Anti-America. These are multi national corporations who do not consider themselves “American.”

You either stand for freedom or you do not. There is no in between, no middle ground, etc. Never, let us be clear, NEVER apologize for standing for or speaking for freedom!

How many CHINESE people “stand for freedom?”

I understand the sentiments of this NBA executive, but Hong Kong is one of those cases where there’s a fine line between political passion and meddling in foreign affairs.

I sure as hell wouldn’t appreciate hearing the GM of Real Madrid commenting on the treatment of Latin American “refugees” in the U.S.

The NBA views China as its future cash cow. Its all about the bucks. Same with Google, Nike, Hollywood and others.

Funny, Chairman Mao had no respect for Chinese history and culture and destroyed the past.

Yep, the only culture he cared about was the "here and now" of Maoism. No need for any other culture. There were some really bad tyrants in the 20th century, and IMHO, Mao was the worst.

COWARD!!!!

Hey, Daryl, did you ever consider how many people in THIS country that you’ve just pissed off by sucking off the Red Chinese tyrants?

I wouldn’t be a Rockets fan now if you paid me to do so. In fact, I won’t even go to a game in which the Rockets are playing. GFY!

Never apologize to liberals. They don’t accept it anyway.

Have we heard recently from the President or the Secretary of State on the US position with respect to the riots taking place in Hong Kong?

"I have had a lot of opportunity since that tweet to hear and consider other perspectives."

Mainly, Rockets owner Tillman Fertitta (largely of Landry's and Joe's Crab Shack fame) who signs his paychecks. Fertitta is a major Clintonite.
