It's also a principle that unpopular ideas should be heard and thoughtfully considered, and then given a chance to be either accepted or rejected...
She was protecting them. Good for her. Taking one for the team. The NBA is being two-faced here by throwing her under the bus. Obviously they...
And why is it just the NBA that’s somehow obligated to follow these orders? The NBA is being used as a pawn here, by both sides.

I don't know how precise Chinese-to-English translations are. "Disappointed" could mean different things in different contexts. I'm sure the...
