Topic	really don't think I can watch the NBA this year
Nelson_Mandela 10/16/19 3:05:33 PM #106:	Hannyabal posted... Adam Silver and the NBA didnt put a gag order on anyone talking about this issue from a pro-HK/free speech perspective (see: Terry Stotts literally last night and like 10+ teeets by Enes Kanter). At literally no point in this whole affair has any player or NBA figure been forced into silence by any authority or punished for pro-HK views. Tilman Fertita is a huge asshole and absolutely sucks (in both this situation and matters unrelated) and attempted major damage control to the Chinese market for the Rockets and even he didnt give Morey so much as a slap on the wrist. Nothing will happen to Enes Kanter either. I dont understand where anyone has gotten the idea that somehow the free speech of NBA players, coaches, executives has somehow been limited or secretly suppressed. Thats not that case here - people are just exhibiting caution in speaking candidly. Youre making some sort of official or secret gag order up that literally doesnt exist. When everyone in the league is avoiding the issue I do not think it takes a genius (lucky for you) to realize that Silver has laid down the law regarding public dissent. And if not, then that means every player and coach in the league is apathetic or pro-China, which makes the league worth not watching even more. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:928847676] in really don...
