The NBA Just Got Caught In the Biggest Scandal of Their History, Players Told Not to Comment

2020-07-31

[RedState] While the connections between the NBA and China have been obvious for a long time, the basketball league has done a fairly effectively job of side-stepping criticism. That’s largely been possible because of a compliant media, which doesn’t dare criticize an organization so committed to "social justice." Lebron James, for example, has been allowed to continually not answer questions about China’s abuses even as he proclaims himself a leader in the "anti-racist" movement.

But that may be about to change. The biggest scandal in the league’s history has just dropped and it’s directly connected to human rights abuses in China.

ESPN just dropped an atomic bomb on the NBA’s China relationship. Story alleges NBA turned blind eye to massive human rights abuses & league’s own camps looked like they were from Nazi Germany. NBA also told employees not to comment on China for story. https://t.co/tjOcaOtjtz

WHOA... ESPN REPORTS...

This is not a small deal that ESPN reported this.

The network has a massive television deal with the NBA worth billions, and business interests in China of its own.

The network is also on the NBA China board of directors.

#4 Tucker just showed a clip of Wolfie Blitzer "interviewing" the NBA commissioner, Silver. Absolutely pathetic.

#3 If it's such "a big deal",seems ESPN has sure hidden it on their site already.

#1 Seems Oil money arabs still pull the strings at the NBA if they threw China under the bus for the muslims who cause trouble there.
