NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom said the National Basketball Association tried to silence him for using his official uniform attire to criticize communist China’s treatment of Tibet, when he wore the slogan “Free Tibet” on his sneakers.

“There [were] two gentlemen came from the NBA [who] said, ‘Take those shoes off.’ I’m like, ‘Excuse me?’ He said, ‘Yep, take those shoes off.’ I was like, ‘I’m not taking the shoes off.’ They’re like, ‘Listen, we are begging you to take those shoes off.’ And I asked him, ‘Am I breaking any rules?’ They said, ‘No.’ … And after that I was like, ‘Go tell your boss, I don’t care if I get banned or fined. I’m not taking the shoes off.’ You know? And that game, I played zero minutes,'” Freedom told Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

These NBA creeps make Judas Iscariot look like a man of principle. No Conservative should have anything to do with that organization. Nothing

So the NBA is so corrupt and beholding to China they made sure he didn’t play.

Nice 🤪

Quite ironic since “Free Tibet” used to be one of the liberals favorite catchphrases. I guess trading allegiances from Moscow to Beijing changes one’s world perspective. </sarcasm>

Paging Richard Gere. Mr. Gere, please pick up the courtesy phone.

It is astounding to me how much money goes to promote illiterate adults to play bouncy ball

The NBA is a tentacle of Red China.
