As expected, protesters in Hong Kong are FURIOUS at LeBron James for speaking out against Daryl Morey ... and now they're burning Bron's jersey in the streets.
Around 200 people were reportedly demonstrating at the Southorn Playground in Hong Kong ... chanting praises for Daryl Morey while trashing James.
In fact, the Associated Press says the chants about LeBron included language that is "not printable."

Protesters in Hong Kong burn LeBron jerseys
"They would not take Muhammad Ali's shorts and burn them anywhere, it would never happen."

LeBron James is one of the all-time NBA greats with 3 championship rings. He ranks up there with Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan as the one of the 3 greatest NBA players in history (Wilt is number 1). However, he made incredibly idiotic remarks about free speech and China. James is a pandering liberal coward who doesn't realize or care that China runs gulags, tortures their own people, opposes free speech, opposes democracy and violates human rights.
I also blame Adam Silver for being a p*ssy and kissing China's ass instead of taking a stand to support the Hong Kong protests. Loudmouth Gregg Popovich is in the same boat as Silver.
When will the holier than thou Popovich, Kerr and LeBron speak out against injustice wherever it occurs in the world? Well, apparently not anywhere that affects their pocket books. The greatest hypocrites in sports were just exposed.

Absolutely correct sir! Kerr is another pandering socialist/SJW whose remarks were as colossally stupid. If the Chinese President invited Kerr & the Warriors to visit his residence, I guarantee you he would agree in a heartbeat.
And ... you guys aren't hypocrites who compromise your values for money?
Lmao. GTFO
Steve Kerr has a brother in law who is a history professor teaching/specializing in the history of China, Just a sidenote, he mentioned this and says he has spoken extensively about China with his brother in law, and is very aware with what is happening in China and Hong Kong.

Steve Kerr said Hong Kong will go back to China in 2047, He then added, China has issues, but so does the USA with all the school shootings, policxe brutality and mass incarceration.

Steve Kerr is monumentally stupid and a hypocrite.
Let me make this even more clear. Straight up, Lebron is dumb AF. Rich, talented but dumb AF.
Not the idiot Rojo, just someone who sees the pathetic cowardly hypocrites that are the NBA flunkies. Fool.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver revealed on Thursday that the Chinese government insisted the league fire Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey over a now-deleted October 4 tweet supporting the protesters in Hong Kong. "We made clear that we were being asked to fire him, by the Chinese government, by the parties we dealt with, government and business," Silver said in his first US interview about the league's ongoing free speech scandal. "We said there’s no chance that’s happening. There’s no chance we’ll even discipline him."
Speaking at the TIME 100 Health Summit, Silver noted that "The losses have already been substantial," adding "Our games are not back on the air in China as we speak, and we’ll see what happens next."
"I don’t know where we go from here," Silver said, adding "The financial consequences have been and may continue to be fairly dramatic."
Silver said that the media coverage of the NBA’s response to Morey’s tweet “frankly was confusing to me when I got home [from China]. Only because I had thought we’d taken a principled position. I thought we hadn’t so-called acquiesced to the Chinese.”
The NBA’s initial statement last week used the world “regrettable,” which Silver emphasized was describing the reaction of Chinese government officials, business executives and NBA fans in China — not the content of Morey’s tweet itself. “Maybe I was trying too hard to be a diplomat,” Silver said. “I didn’t see it as my role as the commissioner of the NBA to weigh in on the substance of the protest, but to say here’s this platform” for free expression.
F*** China.
Activision Blizzard, the inventor of the game “Hearthstone,” has suspended three American University students for holding a sign that read, “Free Hong Kong. Boycott Blitz.”
At the conclusion of a match, Casey Chambers, Torin Wright, and Corwin Dark held up their sign. In the video, they were immediately censored and taken off the screen.
The three American University students wanted to stand in solidarity with Blitzchung, prompting them to hold up the controversial “Free Hong Kong” sign. Chambers said the punishments for Blitzchung were far beyond what a regular punishment for these actions should be.
Same holds true for IAAF, etc. wrote:
Of course, LRC (just like Chinese) censored a previous thread on the to-do over the Rockets GM tweet.
But now (after NBA commissioner Adam Silver tentatively offered a quasi-defense), they have cut off the whole league.
China's state broadcaster, CCTV, said it would end broadcasts of NBA games in China
Every year, some 800 million Chinese watch NBA programming.
The Chinese government has difficulty seeing foreign businesses doing business and making money in China while disrespecting China’s legitimate interests," Shen said. "You have the right not to respect us, but we also have the right not to do business with these people. We don’t think we’re demanding something unreasonable."
During his regular press briefing on Tuesday, foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said “it's impossible to conduct exchanges and cooperation with China without knowing the public opinion of China.”
The fallout from the imbroglio has turned what was supposed to be a high-profile promotional week for the league in one of its biggest markets into a major PR disaster.
The fallout is only getting worse: In China, celebrities and fans said they would skip exhibition games scheduled for this week featuring top stars like LeBron James, while an NBA charity event at a Shanghai school was cancelled. The event was set to feature the Brooklyn Nets, a team that's majority owned by Taiwanese-Canadian billionaire Joe Tsai, but it was cancelled, marring the start of a one-week tour through China for the team, the New York Post reported.
Only a trump supporter would not understand the ethics involved and instead would kiss the a$$ of a communist dictator.
