I'm on the phone with the NBA store right now. Sales rep says I can't buy a FreeHongKong jersey, but I can buy a KillCops jersey if I want one.
Here is audio of the NBA store telling me I can't buy a FreeHongKong jersey, but I can buy a KillCops jersey.

Eventually, once they realized what was happening, they claimed they couldn't sell me anything because of high call volume and system error.
This is the full audio of the NBA store telling me I can't buy a "FreeHongKong" jersey, but I can buy a "KillCops" jersey.

For anyone claiming this isn't legit, I can promise you that it very much is. The NBA doesn't want people to hear this!
BREAKING: The @NBA is no longer creating/selling "KillCops" and "FuckPolice" jerseys after I called and asked for one.

Just a few hours ago, there was nothing stopping anyone from purchasing both.

What is the NBA's excuse for why it was ever allowed?
UPDATE: The NBA is now letting fans create custom "FreeHongKong" jerseys after initially not allowing them to be made.

I'm actually shocked the NBA reversed course and is allowing fans to buy these.
