After the Warriors game 4 against the Rockets on Sunday, an international reporter asked Draymond Green an incredibly insensitive question about the connection between the floods in Houston and the team’s performance which led to Green calling out the reporter.
According to CSN’s Henry Wofford, the reporter was a first-year reporter based in Houston working for a Chinese publication who was fired shortly after Green’s response went viral.
The reporter who continued to ask Draymond Green questions about the Houston floods was fired about 1 hour after the Game 4 press conference

He's a 1st year reporter, born and raised in China. He was working for a Chinese publication, but based in Houston. Fired after Game 4.

I’m still not sure what the reporter was trying to ask but comparing a natural disaster to sports is usually not a good idea and he should have known better than to go there.
