Pete Stauber for Congress While most of America agrees with him, the NBA
chooses to bow and grovel to a repressive Chinese government pressure.“One of
our best values in America is free speech. We are allowed to say what we want
to say and we are allowed to speak up about injustices...whenever you see
something going wrong anywhere in the world you should have the right to say,
‘that's not right'.”
That is a quote from former NBA player Shaquille O'Neal, rightfully defending
our freedom of speech against China. While most of America agrees with him, the
NBA chooses to bow and grovel to a repressive Chinese government pressure.
Here is what the NBA cares about: their bottomline and protecting their
growing audience overseas. But here is our bottomline- we have the right and
the chance to fight for freedom. To what extent does the NBA continue to give
into pressure from a repressive government? Where do they draw the line? At
first glance the NBA’s stance seems trivial but upon further examination you
find the most important fact: how the NBA reacts represents how we, as a
country are seen by the rest of the world. Thats important.
Thank you for your time.
