Commie-Lover LeBron James Pressured NBA Commissioner to Punish Daryl Morey Over Pro-Democracy Tweet. Disney and Nike also bow down to China.
LeBron James reportedly pressured the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to punish Rockets’ General Manager Daryl Morey for posting a tweet in support of the Hong Kong democracy protesters.
The Daily Caller reported: NBA star LeBron James reportedly pressured the NBA to punish the Rockets’ General Manager Daryl Morey after he tweeted support for Hong Kong.
James argued that if something an NBA player tweeted had cost the league money they would have been punished, and questioned why the same wasn’t happening to Morey, according to Dave McMenamin on ESPN.
“Nearly a week ago today, in a Shanghai hotel room, or Shanghai hotel ballroom, Adam Silver got up and addressed the players, and LeBron James is one of the players who got up and spoke and said, ‘Hey, what are we doing here? Daryl Morey made these statements,’” McMenamin recalled on air Tuesday. “You know damn well if a player made the same statements and caused such poor ramifications for the league, there would be some sort of league recourse.”
“There would be repercussions the player has to pay. You know, potentially this tweet could cost the NBA hundreds of millions of dollars. That could come out of the players’ pockets, and so that’s the double standard that was being addressed in that meeting,” he continued.

A Petition to Boycott the NBA
The NBA has a serious public relations nightmare. During the past few weeks, it has been embroiled in a multi-billion dollar spat with China following a tweet of support of Hong Kong Separatists against Chinese oppression made by Houston Rockets General Manager, Daryl Morey.
His comments were met with swift condemnation by the Chinese government, Chinese corporations, the top brass of the NBA, and players such as LeBron James. The NBA has a lot riding on this dispute with tens of millions of new fans in China with the new market estimated to be worth $4 billion in revenue for the league.
The people of Hong Kong have been protesting for four months against the continued transition to communist Chinese rule after 155 years of being a colony of Great Britain. Hong Kong Island is tiny in size at only 427 square miles but is one of the most densely populated places on the planet with nearly 7.4 million people. During British rule, it became one of the world's most significant financial centers and busiest commercial ports. In 1997, China regained control of Hong Kong and instituted its' one country, two system approach to governing the Island.
During the protests, the people of Hong Kong have taken to the streets in opposition to the transition to Chinese rule which would limit their future opportunities. It is reminiscent of the protests in Tiananmen Square as students stood up to tanks. During these protests, the people of Hong Kong have been waving American flags and longing for the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Given their long history of British rule, the people of Hong Kong long for the rights and privileges of a Western Culture versus the oppressive decrees of a totalitarian regime.
The Chinese have shown how oppressive they truly are with Hong Kong as they have recently doubled the number of troops stationed in the island to squash the "separatist movement."
Nike also has a lot to lose in this dispute as they have fought allegations of the company using Chinese sweatshops to produce their shoes. In recent years, Nike and their sponsored athletes have been some of the most vocal activists for change in the United States but when it comes to citizens of Hong Kong they have become some of the most vocal opponents and will do everything in their power to oppress the workers in the name of Nike's and the NBA's profit margins.
We are calling for a boycott of the National Basketball Association for their support of oppression over China's suppression of the basic human rights of the people of Hong Kong. The NBA has shown its true colors and they support oppressive foreign regimes over people that long for freedoms we as American citizens enjoy because of our Constitution.
If you support the people of Hong Kong sign the petition and send Adam Silver, the Commissioner of the NBA, a clear message that you will not support the NBA or any of its teams or players until they change their policies.
