Team owner Joseph Tsai, the billionaire co-founder of Alibaba, told the New York Daily News on Sunday he approved the rallies that have taken place as long as they remain peaceful. But it does not mean that we sit idle,” Tsai told the newspaper. “We have said that we will use the voice and platform of the Nets, Liberty, and Barclays Center to facilitate empathy and dialogue.
