why should there be so much angst about what basketball community thinks or does with their business. Many American companies do business in China.
I’ve been reading about this story all day because it is really fascinating from a pr perspective (which I am involved in for a health care company). If Lebron had just said the issue was complicated and he didn’t know enough about it a few people would have given him a hard time since he has consistently been so outspoken on social issues. However, Lebron went out of his way to call a very well educated man misinformed and talked about the dangers of freedom of speech. This is one of the biggest pr blunders I can remember someone of Lebron’s Stature making and is deservedly catching heat all over the country and world for his comments.
I have a feeling he didn't mean to use the word misinformed and uneducated...that's what really set a lot of people off. My thought is he meant to say that Morey didn't stop to think of the consequences of his tweet and the impact it would have on a number of people. Also I think he was meaning to say that freedom of speech has consequences, which it does - after all, it's people exercising their freedom of speech, fully knowing the consequences, that make it so precious and them so brave. But whatever his intentions were, whatever came out of his mouth sounded pretty bad, given his supposed history as a social justice warrior.
I'm also pretty sure that LeBum knows which side his bread is buttered on and when you are agnostic or uninformed on a specific issue (i.e. the Hong Kong issue which I doubt LeBum knows anything about or cares about) then it's natural to support the side that is putting money in your pocket. LeBum is a model capitalist, after all.
