By confiscating the "Google Uyghurs" signs at the NBA games, it seems that the league is drawing even more attention to something that the Chinese are trying to keep out of the spotlight in the first placepic.twitter.com/3zAb6nmoiU

More "Free Hong Kong" chants inside Capital One Arena. Timing coincided with Guangzhou free throws. During usual Wizards games, if a player misses both free throws in the fourth quarter, all fans get a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich.
One fan just yelled, "Freedom of expression! Freedom of speech! Free Hong Kong!" after Chinese national anthem.
Another fan just shouted “Free Hong Kong” from the second level.pic.twitter.com/hafGO9HwBV
Arena security attempted to take fan’s “Free Tibet” sign. He refused to give it up. He and another fan holding Tibet flag were then escorted out.pic.twitter.com/tKhswCnV3u
A security guard followed the fans up the stairs until they left the lower bowl. A Wizards spokesman who spoke with security says the fans were not asked to leave but left on their own.
