The NBA is in some hot water for reportedly banning ‘FREEHONGKONG' from its customized jersey shop. This oif course comes after the NBA received criticism last Fall for basically throwing Rockets GM Daryl Morey under the bus after China protested his Free Hong Kong tweet. The NBA brings in a ton of money from China, but even with the league muzzling Morey, China still banned NBA basketball from its airwaves costing the NBA billions.
This is juxtaposed with the NBA's recent announcement that they will allow players to wear customized jerseys from a lengthy list of social justice slogans.
