How so? Both are refusing to comply with mandatory group-think dictats.
That’s a weak comparison.
You’re comparing a man who stood up to the Nazis to a man worth 22 million “standing up” to the NBA.
The German, and his family, could be executed.
I don’t think that’s an issue for the NBA player.
“How so? Both are refusing to comply with mandatory group-think dictats.”
They are similar in that respect. But the degree of risk undertaken is so different that it makes the two situations dissimilar. The German was risking his life, and his family’s lives. Odds are that he paid with his life for this photograph. The German is in the same league as the man who stood in front of the tanks in Beijing. At worst, Isaac will lose his job, while remaining a millionaire. Nevertheless, Isaac is very admirable for doing this.
