Get em Chuck. Adam Silver clearly wasn’t expecting that question but his answer was pretty good (after some initial stumbling from being caught off guard).

I want to be fair, but as a lawyer and head of a popular, beyond-wealthy sports org, Silver looked an awful lot like an unprepared deer mouse trapped in the headlights.
China, domestic abuse, general league issues, superstars having outsize influence over franchises, franchises holding cities hostages (i.e. vacating threats), etc… I feel like these are some of the easy issues and easy answers someone like Silver should be able to smooth-tongue his way through, yet we had the above.
I’m sorry, but his response was pretty weak, and kinda fucked up IMO.

Fucked up because he wasn’t ready for the question or because the content of his response was bad? I thought the content was fine but the delivery was poor.
