Qerim added, ‘Sometimes obviously our moral compass trumps business interests. As we saw it can cost you your job. Look at Colin Kaepernick’.
Qurim referenced Kaepernick, who has been out of the NFL since igniting the stance for taking a knee during the national anthem in protest of social injustice and police brutality.

Israel and Palestine have been in conflict over since the early 20th century over land and appears to be a sensitive topic for pundits to discuss without receiving harsh criticism.
ESPN is known for urging its employees to stay away from politics, and instead only reporting about sports.
In the past, the network has taken a swift stand on remaining neutral, seen with former ESPN host Jemele Hill who was suspended for two weeks in 2017 for suggesting NFL fans boycott the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins after the teams’ owners banned players from protesting the national anthem.
‘In the aftermath, all employees were reminded of how individual tweets may reflect negatively on ESPN and that such actions would have consequences,’ the network said at the time.
A similar memo was reportedly sent out to employees reiterating the same message after Morey’s pro-democracy tweet.
The NBA has come under fire for its response to the tweet by the Houston Rockets official in support of Hong Kong protests for democracy – as some accuse of the league of being a ‘puppet of Beijing and craven to the lucrative Chinese market’.
Morey, apologized on Monday for the tweet he swiftly deleted over the weekend that included an image of the activists’ rally cry: ‘Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong.’
His support for the protests in the Chinese-ruled city angered Beijing, Chinese fans and the team’s business partners in a key NBA market.
The Rockets are widely followed in China, partly because they drafted Yao Ming in 2002, who became a star for Houston and helped build the NBA’s following in China.
Following the reaction from China, the NBA said in a statement it recognized Morey’s views ‘deeply offended many of our friends and fans in China, which is regrettable’.

Some businesses have said they will no longer cooperate with the Rockets and Chinese broadcasters have vowed not to show the team’s games.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV’s sports channel has said it would suspend any further broadcasts of the Rockets’ matches starting from Sunday.
And on Tuesday, the network said it would ‘immediately suspend’ plans to broadcast a pair of NBA pre-season exhibition games being staged in China this week.
‘We believe that any comments that challenge national sovereignty and social stability is not within the scope of freedom of speech,’ China Central Television (CCTV) said on its social media account.
‘To this end, CCTV’s Sports Channel has decided to immediately suspend plans to broadcast the NBA preseason (China Games) and will immediately investigate all cooperation and communication involving the NBA.’
Tencent Sports, which is the NBA’s digital partner in China, also said it would suspend live streaming for future Rockets games. They also said they would not cover or post news about the team.
Sponsors have also been pulling the plug in the wake of the drama.
