NBA relationship ruptured

Daryl Morey, general manager of the National Basketball Association's Houston Rockets, infuriated Chinese fans with an Oct 5 tweet which expressed support for violent protesters in Hong Kong.

The league's stance supporting Morey in the name of protecting "free speech" further escalated the tension, causing multiple broadcasters and sponsors to cancel their NBA deals.
