It's like he doesn't understand that players in a sports league that's composed of 80% Black players would be more likely to support social justice causes than wanting to "support law enforcement" or call out China. Oh wait, it's just an attempt to play "but both sides". (In this case it's the ability for "both sides" to be put on NBA jerseys???) NBA players aren't politicians anyway and most don't really care or know that much about foreign relations/countries. (Cue Charles Barkley's famous quote "I don't know anything about Angola. But Angola's in trouble." during the press conference before a match against Angola in the 1992 Olympics that the US won 116-48.)
If they want to speak out about it, good for them. But, I doubt many of them care enough about Hong Kong or China to stake their careers on it.. Obviously they are likely to be more outspoken about BLM and social justice because it affects them personally.
