Hawley’s letter to the NBA is in response to the news that the league will allow players to put approved social justice slogans and causes on the back of their uniforms.
If @NBA is going to put social cause statements on uniforms, why not “Support our Troops” or “Back the Blue”?
Or given how much $$ @nba makes in #China, how about “Free Hong Kong”!
Less than two hours after Tweeting out his letter to Silver, Hawley shared another tweet showing ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski’s response to the letter: “fuck you.”.
It’s probably a safe bet that Hawley CC’d many members of the press when he emailed his letter to Silver.
Wojnarowski, who is arguably the most well-known sports reporter in North America with 4 million followers on Twitter, posted an apology later Friday afternoon.
China responded by flexing its muscle, telling the NBA and LeBron James to ‘shut up and dribble’ and the league obliged. »
