Tin foil hat time:

I wonder if this was intentional?

Perhaps the CIA orchestrated these companies play?

It doesn’t seem entirely implausible.

Pure speculation, of course, but it is kind of in their wheelwhouse. If there were a connection, I imagine it would take the form of influencing individuals like Blitzchung and Daryl Morey to make their pro-Hong Kong statements in the first place, anticipating the response, and not plotting with the companies themselves (that would be way too crazy).
