RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA.

OF INTENSE CONTROVERSY OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS.
AFTER ONE OF THE LEAGUE’S TOP
OWNERS WAS AFTER TWEETED IN
SUPPORT OF.
AND THEN LeBRON JAMES PIPED IN
, AND NEW REPORT FROM ESPN
REVEALED JUST HOW MUCH THE
OWNERS HAVE A STAKE IN CHINA.

FORMER CENTER FOR THE BOSTON
CELTICS AND HUMAN RIGHTS
ACTIVIST FREIGHT THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US, ON THE FIRST DAY
WHICH IS MY SON’S BIRTHDAY TODAY
, HE’S ONLY 12 YEARS OLD.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE OVER THIS?
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME COME
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
SHOUT OUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY.
YOU KNOW, THE FIRST TIME I READ
ABOUT THIS ARTICLE I WAS NOT
SHOCKED AT ALL.
I HAD BEEN TELLING TRYING TO
EXPOSE THESE PEOPLE FROM DAY ONE
.
IT IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE HOW THE
WORLD AND ESPECIALLY PEOPLE IN
AMERICA, SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN
AMERICA THEY DID NOT WAKE UP TO THIS HYPOCRISY.
THIS HYPOCRISY.
40 NBA OWNERS ARE TIED UP AROUND
$10 BILLION WITH THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT AND NOW PEOPLE
FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE
TALKING ABOUT ALL THE SOCIAL
JUSTICE PROBLEMS HAPPENING
EVERYWHERE, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO
TRYING THAT THEY ARE SCARED TO
DEATH.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE GREED
OVERWHELMS BASIC ISSUES OF RIGHT
AND WRONG ONCE AGAIN.
>> PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND, AND IT
IS JUST SO HARD BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY I PLAYED IN THE LEAGUE
FOR 11 YEARS AND I WAS SEEING
THE HYPOCRISY FIRSTHAND AND, IT
DOESN’T MATTER, HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN, ALL AROUND
THE WORLD WE HAD TO CALL THEM
OUT LIKE IT IS.
AND YOU KNOW, MORAL MATTERS
UNTIL MONEY, SO THAT IS THE ONE
THING THAT WAS BREAKING MY HEART
, ALL OF THESE OWNERS, THEY
ARE MAKING PROFIT OFF OF SLAVE
LABOR.
WE HAVE TO CALL THEM OUT BECAUSE
THEY LOVE TO SIT DOWN AND GIVE
US ALL THE SOCIAL JUSTICE TALK
TO US, BUT IN REALITY, THEY ARE
SCARED, THEY ARE ONLY TALKING
ABOUT THE TEAMS THAT HAPPEN IN
AMERICA, BUT WHEN IT TALKS TO
THE THINGS THAT THEY TALK ABOUT,
THEIR MONEY OR POCKETS, THEY ARE
GOING TO STAY SOLID AND WE HAVE
TO STAY WITH THEM.
>> ANOTHER TIDBIT FROM THAT
REPORT FROM ESPN, THE BROOKLYN
NETS OWNER, HE WAS BORN IN HONG
KONG, AND OBVIOUSLY STRONG TIES
TO CHINA HE DONATES HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CAMP AT
RACISM IN UNITED IN THE UNITED
STATES, BUT IN CHINA OF COURSE
HIS COMPANY PARTNERS WITH OTHER
COMPANIES THAT ARE BLACKLISTED
BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOR
SUPPORTING A CAMPAIGN OF
SUPPRESSION, MASS ARBITRARY
DEFENDANT AND HIGH-TECH
SURVEILLANCE THROUGH RACIAL
PROFILING, I THINK THAT’S FACIAL
PROFILING, AND YOUR REACTION TO
THAT.
JUST THAT ISSUE?
>> EXACTLY.
HE IS PROBABLY THE WORST OF THEM
ALL.
I THINK HE IS THE PRETTY MUCH
WORKING FOR THE CCP AND I DID
HEAR A LOT OF STORIES ABOUT HIM
AND HOW MUCH HE LOVES TO THE
SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK, WHERE ONLY
IN AMERICA, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO
CHINA, JUST BECAUSE OF HIS MONEY
THAT IS INVOLVED, HE IS SCARED
OF THAT THAT, AND HE CAN SAY A
WORD TO PRAY TO SHAME ON HIM, I
WOULD JUST SAY IT LIKE IT IS.
SHAME ON HIM.
I JUST WISH, JUST PLEASE SEND ME
ONE MORE PLAYER TO JUST STAND BY
ME SO WE CAN JUST EXPOSE THIS
