I think focusing on the NBA and China misses the bigger issue that affects everyone. What if Daryl Morey had tweeted that he believed marriage was between a man and a woman? There's no doubt he would have been fired and deplatformed faster than greased lightning... Social media is making it hard for individuals to keep their personal thoughts separate from their work. Not sure what the answer is. Everybody chill?

Right, this is not a freedom of speech issue because that has been long gone with cancel culture. This is a case of whether cancel culture applies internationally, which is difficult for an American corporation operating internationally. With Trump's decoupling and isolationism, more of these issues will come up under the guise of ideology or values, but which are not actually about these.
