Vol 4 Chapter 1363: Morey resigns, NBA apologizes

"What if the fans asked me to sell the team if I did what you said?"
Feltita still has concerns, which is also a normal person's reaction, he is still a businessman in the final analysis.
"How do you worry about this, man, this is not the same thing as Sterling. You only need to make a decision to let Morey get out of it. You are saving yourself, and the sooner you make the decision, yours. The smaller the loss. "
Tatum has been very straightforward.
Feltita nodded again and again.
The Rockets' Chinese market is the largest, and if lost, his losses will be the largest.
"I will go to Japan to persuade Morey to resign, and then I will apologize on behalf of the Rockets."
After making a decision, Feltita didn't hesitate.
As a boss, he still has a lot of black material for his employees.
Tatum nodded, then reached out and shook hands with the new Rockets boss.
Leaving Fertita's residence, he then convened an emergency call for league staff and representatives of the players' union.
This matter must be dealt with as quickly as possible, and the league must have enough attitude.
Tang Tian has already mentioned the possible impact of this incident, which cannot be afforded by the NBA.
The next morning, Beijing time, the fans who just woke up found a big news.
Morey tweeted again, but this time an apology.
"I deeply regret the previous remarks. For this, I deeply apologize to the Chinese fans and the people. However, I also know that this remarks have had an irreversible impact, so I will resign from the Rockets general manager I hope the NBA gets better and better. "
Morey's Twitter apology was sincere.
And after Morey, Rockets owner Fertita also issued a related apology Twitter.
"The Rockets and China have maintained a very good cooperative relationship since the Yao era. We know this, and we also know that sports should not be linked to politics. As Mr. Morey said, he did something wrong and realized it. Although he is no longer a member of the Rockets, I hope he will be well in the future. "
And this is not the end, after Fertita, the league official also issued a statement.
"We have always been committed to exploring overseas markets and maintaining equal and mutually beneficial cooperation models with various countries, especially China. We all know that there are one of the best fans in the world, and they have a passion for basketball and the NBA. It was a mistake, and we corrected it in time. I believe that it will not affect further cooperation between the two sides in the future, and we guarantee that there will be no political-related speech in the future. Sports is just sports. "
At the same time as the official statement, Harden, the Rockets' core player, also issued relevant apologies.
"We like playing in China. Russell and I are both of us. We go once or twice a year. Chinese fans have given us the greatest support. We thank them for their support."
Consecutive apologies were soon reported by Chinese and American media.
This wave of Chinese fans feels comfortable.
From the league to the boss to the current star, he apologized in person, and the culprit, Morey, was forced to resign. All this has been the best result.
However, the Chinese fans are comfortable here, and the American side is already upset.
"The NBA is a group of soft bones. They are all guys who only know how to make money. They only know to bow to money! Coward! Asshole!"
"Freedom of speech is our right and the rights of the people all over the world. We should resist the NBA!"
"This is a multiple-choice question made by the NBA. We should sell tickets to make the NBA lose attendance. That is the biggest revenge against them!"
"Just ask the NBA to move to China. We don't want to let the league give up free rights!"
"Junk NBA, the fourth largest sport in the United States, I still prefer to watch football, baseball and ice hockey, they are farts!"
"A group of niggers, do you still expect it too much? It should have been dissolved!"
"The federal government should act, and this behavior of the NBA must be severely punished!"
...
Tetham was a bit burned and dealt with the Chinese fans, but the protests in the United States were louder than he expected.
And he knew what the reason for the protest came from their media.
Most of the news that Americans usually see is what the government wants them to see, which is the fundamental reason why Morey has such a view.
Most people, including Morey, don't know what's going on outside, they just read the information the government wants to show them.
Then they called it the truth.
Only he and a few people who have actually been to China know what the truth is.
Tatum finally called Tang Tian, ​​hoping he would come forward.
Although Tang Tian retired, the influence he brought was still there.
"I have made my choice and now is the time for you to come out and help the NBA."
Tang Tian agreed.
Tatum and the NBA have already done this, and they have done their best.
In other words, the crisis on the Chinese team has been dealt with in the past, and now the problem is turning to the United States.
He definitely needs to issue a statement to use his appeal to influence the minds of fans.
The question is how to write it.
The wording and tone are very sophisticated.
While he was thinking, the Spurs boss ccx sent him an email.
The content of the email was also a call for NBA fans, which mentioned the differences between Chinese and American cultures, and why Morey's remarks provoked so much protest from Chinese fans.
The main force supporting territorial integrity and the corresponding separation is China's minefield, just like the ethnic issues involved in the United States.
And in this statement, ccx also proposed from a historical perspective why this would be a minefield.
"The NBA respects freedom of speech ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but we need to consider the scale. We should not set double standards in our attitude towards things. If Sterling ’s incident was the standard for such incidents, then Morey is That's it.
I hope the Alliance can come out of this incident. As the owner of an NBA team, I will continue to express my views on important issues involving China. I also invite Chinese and American fans to continue to believe in the NBA and basketball, and believe in our ability to unite people around the world. "
This statement from ccx is perfect, and Tang Tian doesn't even have to think about how to write it after reading it.
The reason why ccx sent this statement to him is also very simple, he hopes to make a joint statement.
And also hope to pull Yao Ming together.
This is equivalent to putting together the three most influential people in basketball.
Such a statement can get the most attention and can be understood by more fans.
Tang Tian agreed, this is also the best solution.
