The league should have said: “We regret the truth offended you; we stand by the truth”.

Now we know they don’t operate by principles but as everyone knew they only side with “the right thing” when it intersects with their money. And at no other time.

Now imagine if the league had said that about Palestine.

Trump would have gone on a rant, and some pro-Israel advertisers and supporters would pull their money out, but otherwise they'd be fine. An entire country wouldn't boycott them, probably not even Israel (but if they did, so what).

What is the truth? Who is burning the subway stations & shops while hit innocent travelers in HongKong? It was peacefully one month or two ago, but so far it is controversial in China. Do some investigations before speaking especially you are a public figure.
