NBA executive's tweet starts firestorm in China -- days after South Park called the NBA out for compromising its integrity for China

Twitter

The Comedy Central show called out Google, Disney and the NBA last Wednesday, accusing them of compromising their moral integrity for Chinese money. Days later, Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted, "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong," which upset the Chinese government and resulted in Chinese businesses cutting ties with the Rockets. Morey deleted the tweet and expressed regret, while the NBA said his tweet “deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China, which is regrettable.”
