[Stand With Hong Kong - NBA Edition]
Yesterday (Oct 23), T-shirts with slogans showing support to Hong Kong were distributed at the Los Angeles Lakers vs Los Angeles Clippers Opening Game.
Although the camera intentionally avoided anyone with the T-shirt, a young boy got himself 'air-time' with the Free Hong Kong T-Shirt.
Thinking that he was holding a only Clippers T-shirt, they did not expect him to flip it around to reveal the Free Hong Kong T-shirt.

NBA audience wearing Taiwan flag forced Tencent to stop broadcasting in emergency
(09Nov) “No live broadcasting for L.A. Lakers vs. Miami Heat?!” While the 2,500 Chinese audience were watching the NBA game between L.A. Lakers and Miami Heat, Tencent Sports suddenly halted the live streaming under the reason of “the game’s transmission medium failed to meet broadcasting standards”. In fact, the screen at that moment was showing an audience sitting in first row, who was wearing a shirt with a logo “Blue Sky with a White Sun”. Many Chinese NBA fans complained, “does that mean there is no more broadcasting if the game shows anything related to Taiwan Independence or Hong Kong Independence?”. Some netizens even posted the post “Tencent NBA Game L.A. Lakers v.s. Miami Heat live broadcasting interrupted” and commented that it is “unforgivable”.

The NBA is still feeling the effects in China from Daryl Morey's support of Hong Kong
The relations between NBA and China seems to remain tense, despite Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey's backing down from his Tweet support of pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong.
Government-run China Central Television (CCTV) still does not broadcast a single game of NBA this season, with Chinese media conglomerate Tencent not offering its customers the subscription to the full NBA slate. Those actions of disapproval by Chinese stakeholders might have costed financial loss for the NBA teams. However, the outbreak of coronavirus might be a turning point of the relations between China and NBA which has pledged US$1.4 million to support relief efforts in China’s Hubei province.

Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act Pusher - Chu Mok Man
//over the past 30 years, whenever a large-scale democracy movement took place in Hong Kong like the million people against Article 23 in 2003 and the Umbrella Movement in 2014, the international community would pay attention. Hongkonger civil society would go to Washington to lobby.
//"Without money to hire professional lobbyist, what can one do?" Samuel's answer is to build his political power, familiarise himself with the "rules of the game" in political procedures, and motivate himself to advocate for agendas requiring attention.
//A lobbyist and their target could unexpectedly switch roles and become the helper.
//"I didn’t need to persuade her; I just brought up this memory. This is a part of her political and personal life."
//"This NBA incident made average Americans understand what it was like to be bullied by China." The police brutality and injustices from the past few months are naturally vivid in the minds of Hongkongers but are very remote to the general American populace. To gain their support and put pressure on Congress, it must be relevant to their daily lives and interests.
//HKDC can help Americans and the Congress understand why they should not be passive bystanders.

#ESPN Reporter Responds “Fuck You” to Criticism from Republican Senator Who Supports Hong Kong, Facing One-Week Suspension at the Least
Another political dispute arose in the NBA as ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski was suspended for at least a week following his “Fuck You” response to Republican Senator Josh Hawley’s statement, which criticised NBA’s pro-China stance. Some prominent NBA players had initiated a #FreeWOJ campaign on Twitter in support of Wojnarowski.
A supporter of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, Republican Senator Josh Hawley released a statement titled “Senator Hawley Blasts NBA for Kowtowing to Beijing & Refusing to Support US Military and Law Enforcement”, which linked to the Senator’s letter to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. The statement asked that since NBA planned to display messages supporting Black Lives Matter on their jerseys, it should also allow players to express support for the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, their views on the human rights issues in Xinjiang, as well as support for US military and police officers.
ESPN’s well known NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski at once responded “Fuck You” to Hawley through his work email. The Hawley office took a screenshot of the email and wrote on Twitter, “Don’t criticize #China or express support for law enforcement to @espn. It makes them real mad”. Wojnarowski apologised subsequently, while ESPN released a statement calling his behaviour “unacceptable” and stating that it would address the issue with him.
On Sunday, Hawley wrote on Twitter that ESPN should not suspend the reporter, but should “ask tough questions” about NBA’s relationship with China. He also requested to meet with ESPN CEO Jimmy Pitaro. Meanwhile, LeBron James and a number of NBA stars had initiated a #FreeWOJ campaign on Twitter in support of Wojnarowski. Details of Wojnarowski’s suspension are unclear as of now.
Editor’s Note: As of July 15th, Wojnarowski is reportedly being suspended without pay for 2 weeks according to various US media outlets.

Feature for Personalising Apparel Disabled from NBA Official Online Store following Controversy on Restricting “FreeHongKong” as Text Option
NBA Spokesperson: There Were Attempts to Print Hateful Messages
Many NBA players have been showing their support for the recent movements against systemic racial discrimination in the US, and the National Basketball Players Association has reached an agreement with the NBA to allow slogans supporting racial equality to be printed on the back of jerseys. However, it was discovered last Monday that the NBA official online store had restricted apparel customisations that included the text “FreeHongKong”.
The website then briefly reopened orders for personalised apparel with “FreeHongKong” and explained that there was a technical problem previously. But four days later, the customisation feature was completely removed from the website.
An NBA spokesperson confirmed to Fox News that the apparel customisation feature was temporarily removed from the website since there were “attempts to include violent, abusive and hateful messages on personalised NBA jerseys”, yet no explanation was offered on the inappropriate language in question. Republican Senator Josh Hawley accused the NBA of carrying out censorship like China and not daring to offend Beijing.
Fox News pointed out that before the “FreeHongKong” controversy, the personalised apparel feature had allowed customisations of all sorts of texts, even violent messages such as “Kill Cops”.
A Stand News reporter logged into the NBA website on Friday morning and found all personalised apparel had been taken off the shelf. The only customisable item still available was the Los Angeles Lakers bear, but the text limit had been changed from 12 characters to 11, making it impossible to print the “FreeHongKong” slogan. However, “FreeHK” was still a possible choice and the reporter was able to proceed smoothly to the shopping cart for payment.
Another official NBA online store operator, Fanatics, is also no longer offering personalised NBA apparel, but the website still offers personalised gear from NFL, MLB and other leagues. Fans could still order apparel or gear with “FreeHongKong” text, but “Kill Cops” or other such hateful texts were not accepted.
Experts have opined that the incident has shown NBA’s double standards in allowing stance that pertains to equality movements in the US but hesitating to touch on topics sensitive to China.

China's CCTV said the NBA continued to Release Goodwill after the Suspension, Rebroadcasting from Tomorrow
NBA Team Houston Rockets Director Daryl Morey supported Hong Kong democracy on Twitter, causing dissatisfaction from China. At that time, CCTV announced that they would stop broadcasting events and “would investigate all cooperation and exchanges involving the NBA”. After a year, CCTV indicated today that they would rebroadcast NBA from tomorrow (10th October). The spokesperson stated that he noted NBA continued to show their goodwill, including “expressed holiday blessings to Chinese fans” on National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival and “Put active efforts in areas including supporting the Chinese people to fight COVID-19 pandemic”.
CCTV stated today (9th October), “Basketball has a broad mass base and viewing demand in China”. As a result, the CCTV Sports Channel would resume broadcasting the NBA competitions as “normal broadcast arrangement” on the morning of 10th October, Hong Kong time. The NBA 19/20 season has reached the finals, and it would be the fifth game by the time of rebroadcasting. For the time being, Los Angeles Lakers led the Miami Heat with 3:1 games, only one victory away from the championship.
The NBA team Houston Rockets Director Daryl Morey posted a “Stand with Hong Kong” photo on Twitter, indicating his support for Hong Kong democracy. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver showed his support for Morey to exercise freedom of speech. CCTV first announced the suspension on broadcasting the competitions of Houston Rockets, then issued a statement about the immediate ban for NBA preseason broadcasting and would investigate all NBA-related cooperation and exchanges.

NBA's Morey is defiant in his support to Hong Kong democracy
In October 2019, NBA team Houston Rockets Director #DarylMorey posted a “#StandwithHongKong” photo on Twitter to show his ardent support for Hong Kong democracy.
Not only did his belief in freedom of speech triggered a storm of intense political dispute, it also almost jeopardized his career in #NBA.
In an interview with Apple Daily published on Dec 23, 2020, Morey expressed that he came to understand Hong Kong’s predicament from his EMBA classmates. He decided to show his support to Hong Kong on Twitter.
When being asked whether he regrets his action, Morey paused for a few seconds and responded, “I am comfortable with what I have done.”
Although Morey didn’t regret showing his support to pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, he was concerned about the safety of his wife and his children. “I have been dreadfully worried. I was lucky to have many people offering me assistance to handle this incident. If possible, you won’t want to antagonize the world’s second strongest country … .” Morey said.

NBA波士頓塞爾特人隊(Boston Celtics)中鋒坎特(Enes Kanter Freedom)常在社交平台上直言不諱地批評中國政府的許多侵犯人權行為,他在比賽時更穿著特製的球鞋,上面寫著批評中國的言論。
但並不是每個人都對他的坦率和正直感到高興,包括與中共有著密切商務合作關係的NBA顯然對坎特非常不滿,甚至要求坎特脫下球鞋才可出場作賽。有球評家推文諷刺:「坎特自己改名為Freedom,但他連離開板凳區的自由都沒有。」

#EnesKanterFreedom is a #US basketball player who dares to criticise the #CCP on public platforms on Hong Kong, Taiwan and Xinjiang issues.
He recently published a post on #Twitter that China cannot affect the US externally but internally. He uses #NBA as an example -- he was a basketball player being sold to #HoustonRockets, then soon be a free agent. The whole process is only 10 minutes.
During the #AntiELAB movement in Hong Kong in 2019, the then-Houston Rockets manager once confessed before the CCP government due to showing support to HKers.
