like all other athletes, they have to tread very carefully when it comes to calling out countries vs. individuals within the sport.
The respective organizations keep a tight leash on what can be said in order to ensure a smooth "business" abroad. Point in case, Lebron James had to back peddle on his comments about Hong Kong because China is a big NBA market and the NBA doesn't want to ruffle any feathers and potentially get banned from their networks.
Shitting on other players is part of any sport and generally doesn't have any financial impact to anyone.
