Your post mentioned the government censoring speech. In that regard, I think the two
are similar: Morley's speech is being limited because the Chinese government is threatening Morley's employer. Just like the NFL protestors had their speech limited because Trump threatened their employer.

If you speak out against one, I'd expect you to have spoken out against the other one as well. If it's about the principle of the government not restricting speech by pressuring companies.

There's a different in scale and magnitude, of course. And China is much, much worse on that regard. Plus this is far from the first time they've done something like this (hotels and airlines have had similar issues in the past), but this time it's getting a lot of press coverage.

I'm interested to see what happens next. The NBA can't satisfy the Chinese without causing a big issue domestically.
