The NBA has finally responded to Senator Josh Hawley’s email asking if it’d allow players to wear “Free Hong Kong” on the back of their jerseys.
Not surprisingly, all of the NBA’s answers are awful. All of them.
.@NBA finally replies to me. Won’t criticize #China and won’t commit to protecting employees who criticize #China. Says it’s all “hypothetical.” Uh, remember Daryl Morey? pic.twitter.com/BaUNEtaTaw

“Unable to respond to this hypothetical question.” Yeah, answer 4 is laughable. As Hawley asked, has the NBA forgotten what started this mess? Or, more accurately, brought its hypocrisy to light?
No, your eyesight is not deteriorating. Not a single sentence from the NBA denounced the inhumane actions of its business partner, China.
Hawley’s dunking on the NBA continued. “The whole letter is a joke. Reads like lawyers in Beijing drafted it,” the senator tweeted. He’s not wrong. Maybe Beijing at least proofread it?
“Maybe it’s time to hear directly from Adam Silver. On Capitol Hill. Under oath,” Hawley ended it with. Man, what a content treat that’d be.
The NBA remains the biggest joke in sports. With that said, at least the email didn’t send a “fuck you.” We know how that goes…
This is awesome. Real time schooling the NBA and its fake social justice stance. Good for Senator Hawley!
Hawley is making me proud to be a resident of the great state of Missouri.
Thank you senator Hawley. One of the only republicans other than Trump that has some guts!
Thanks for this update Bobby. Good stuff.
I’ve given up on the NBA and its hypocritical virtue signalling players, who ignore the real oppression occurring in China.
Adam Silver and the majority of players are supporting China’s reeducation camps and the silencing of all the people that disagree with the central government of China. They have a policy that would make the Chinese government proud. No players have the ability to support the police on their uniforms. The NBA with the top players support, control the narrative with an iron fist. They refuse to engage unless it is to bash all who are not in line with Black Lives Matter or who support President Trump. Outkick is great at giving the opposing view to the NBA and mainstream media a voice.
I wish Rick Scott and Marco Rubio from my state of Florida would get on board with Josh Hawley
