Next up, ESPN found that Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s stake in Asian wireless co. Ubiquiti finds him invested in China to the tune of $369 million.
So many other owners are also neck-deep in genocidal China. Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta’s restaurant chain totals $160.3 million exposure in China, Charlotte Hornet co-owner Michael Jordan has $85 million in exposure, and 76ers owner Joshua Harris has 476.5 million at risk in China.
These owners and their personal investments are only added to the $5 billion the NBA has invested in the communist giant.
All this explains why the NBA and the NBA’s owners refuse to criticize a country that imprisons Christians and other members of minority religions, brutally oppresses political opposition, arrests, jails, and enslaves its Uyghur minority population, and maintains the most oppressive and intrusive mass surveillance state in human history.
Meanwhile, they nearly daily call America racist, disparage our history and work to undermine our traditions and government.
