Adrian Wojnarowski was suspended (probably briefly) by ESPN for using his company email to send a two-word profane e-mail to a sitting U.S. Senator. Wojnarowski has subsequently apologized for his actions.
This is a thing. The reasons underlying it revolve around the NBA's relationship with China, which some in the U.S. see as being too deferent to a repressive and undemocratic regime (for example, see the Daryl Morey stuff from a while ago). Even though Woj was not suspended for his position on NBA-China, it will be difficult to discuss it without at least allowing the subject to come up. Obviously this ranges very heavily into politics, which we avoid talking about here for reasons we all understand.
I understand people may want to discuss this, and previous NBA-China discussion has been for the most part respectful, so I have put this thread up. I have already nuked the previous Woj Suspended thread because it immediately went down the political troll road. This thread will be zero tolerance. If you want a reasoned discussion, go at it. If you start politically trolling, your post will be deleted and you will be banned from the thread, first violation, no warning. If you think you're pushing the envelope, don't hit "send".
