Chapter 1326 NBA's Revenge, Morey's Fate

The next while, Tatum told Tang Tian all about the revenge plan.

After Tang Tian listened, he felt a chill down his spine.

As expected, when their interests were touched, even their livelihood, the NBA could be ruthless in retaliation.

"The reason I came to you today is to hope you can call on the players and the league to speak out together."

Tatum finally stated the purpose of his visit to Tang Tian.

"I agree."

Tang Tian nodded.

Morey almost cut off the NBA from China, in other words, he harmed the dual interests of players and fans.

He had no reason to refuse to speak out about this.

After leaving Tang Tian's manor, Tatum returned to New York and convened an emergency meeting of the league.

He announced the information he had obtained at the meeting and suggested that no NBA team should ever hire Morey again.

This suggestion was unanimously approved.

These owners usually have a lot of infighting, but when it really comes to the overall interests of the NBA, they still stand on the same front.

October 22nd, US time, only one day away from the start of the new NBA season.

On this day, Daryl Morey announced his official entry into politics, and that he would be running for the next mayor of Houston.

His campaign has received support from many fans and councilors, and has been labeled as "freedom of speech."

You could feel that although the previous Twitter incident was suppressed, he still gained a lot of support for his political career.

Moreover, the timing was also very interesting. Announcing his entry into politics just as the NBA season was about to start was like a mockery of the NBA.

Look, I'm still going to work on this day, although I'm no longer the general manager, I can be the mayor, which is much more powerful than the general manager.

However, at the same time that Morey announced his entry into politics, the NBA official announced this news.

"The NBA will never hire Daryl Morey."

No explanation, no reason, just a simple sentence.

The news was shocking, and the fans didn't recover for a moment.

Because it involved freedom of speech, although Morey had resigned before, the NBA didn't dare to mention anything about it.

How could they suddenly become so tough?

Before the fans could recover, Stephen A. Smith, ESPN's "American Yang Yi," delivered a passionate speech on the show.

In his speech, he angrily criticized Morey's previous tweet as childish behavior, a completely irresponsible performance.

He also angrily criticized Morey for almost erasing Yao Ming's contribution to the Rockets and the NBA. Morey was sorry to Yao Ming, sorry to the Rockets, and sorry to the fans.

Afterwards, he seized on the point of Morey's entry into politics and boldly speculated on Morey's sinister motives for sending the tweet, which was to win chips for his entry into politics, and to use the Rockets and the NBA as tools.

"Daryl, the Rockets won't need you, the NBA won't need you, and Houston won't need you."

Smith's last words were quite激烈.

This instantly detonated American social media.

Why did Morey send the tweet? Before, most Americans understood it as freedom of speech, simply saying I can say whatever I want.

But no one would have thought that there were such complicated things inside.

Especially those fans, many of them like freedom of speech, but they don't like being used as pawns!

Especially when they were used as pawns, they still had to support the person who used them as pawns!

However, some of Morey's supporters quickly raised questions.

Smith is a well-known loudmouth in the United States, and many people watch his show simply to criticize him.

Without evidence, Smith is blatantly slandering.

As in the past, a large group of people began to angrily criticize Smith.

But soon, Rockets' former owner Alexander stood up and spoke out.

He didn't say much, basically only one piece of information, that is, he knew from a source that Smith was telling the truth.

This immediately caused a huge wave, although it was not direct evidence, everyone knew the relationship between Alexander and Morey.

Moreover, Alexander even sold the team and stood up to speak out, which shows that Morey's problem is very serious!

However, defamation is a serious crime, and there are still many people seeking real evidence.

At this time, FOX Sports broke the news about an article Morey wrote in college opposing freedom of speech due to a campus shooting.

At that time, the young and energetic Morey was very disgusted with the safety problems brought about by freedom of speech. He believed that freedom must be within some rules.

Obviously, a student, and one who opposed freedom of speech, was like a grain of sand thrown into a lake at the time. No one felt it, let alone cared.

But at this point in time, the meaning is completely different when this old story is dug up.

Morey was hailed by his supporters as a fighter for "freedom of speech" and labeled with this label.

But in retrospect, you are telling us that he used to be an opponent of freedom of speech?!

No matter when it happened, in the United States, this kind of thing is like a criminal record, it accompanies you for life.

If you say it, you will carry it with you until you die.

This is also a characteristic of the United States. Most politicians are extra careful in these matters, because for them, these are scandals.

Finally, Tang Tian called on, and many NBA stars also commented on the Morey incident.

They felt that Morey's behavior was very selfish and seriously violated the freedom of speech that the NBA has always promoted.

This part is after the NBA beat Morey to death, they nailed the coffin shut.

This series of events made Morey's head hurt.

He didn't even have a chance to catch his breath.

By the time a day had passed and he woke up the next day, his Twitter had already been bombarded by fans.

And many of those who bombarded him were still his supporters yesterday.

Obviously, although most people are easily instigated, no one is a fool!

Some radical people even threatened Morey to be careful.

This is also the biggest difference between American keyboard warriors and domestic keyboard warriors. They really have guns.

This time, Morey's political career had just started for a day, and it was about to come to an end.

And what's more fatal is that after he's labeled with this anti-freedom of speech hat, let alone the NBA, other sports leagues wouldn't dare to hire him at all.

In other words, what he lost was not only his official career, but also his financial future.

This time, I'm afraid that even his shrewd brain didn't expect it.

Of course, there is also his personal safety.

At a certain moment, he even missed the days in China. After all, there, you don't have to worry about being shot in the back while walking on the road, and you don't have to worry about someone breaking into your residence with a gun.

Morey's Twitter was still being bombarded, but soon someone discovered that Morey had disappeared.

From Twitter, and from his residence.

No one knows where he went, and no one even knows if he is still alive.

Just like Tang Tian felt after listening to Tatum's revenge plan, this is really not worth the life.
