Economics can explain so much.
There is a huge cost to the NBA if they stand with Hong Kong.
There is also a very small cost to the NBA and or more probably no cost at all if they fully embrace other movements such as BLM.
People upset about this are upset because the NBA (and other sports leagues and media) have become more socially active or political lately but they still refuse to speak up on topics that hurt their bottom line.

- oh_sigh 6y agoI don't exactly get it...will Chinese people just start enjoying a different sport if they think few people in basketball don't like how mainland China treats Hong Kong? What sport isn't going to have athletes using the bully pulpit for their cause, which sometimes is HK?
