PATHETIC: NBA Begs Star to Lost Anti- China Clothing Before Game

In addition to committing an untold number of human rights abuses daily, China has found yet another way to exploit their population: Using their purchasing power as leverage over corporations who may advocate on behalf of those people oppressed by Beijing.
The latest example of this comes to us from the NBA.
Boston Celtics big man Enes Freedom, formerly known as Enes Kanter, is one of the only NBA players willing to speak out against China’s “brutal dictator” Xi Jinping and the country’s continued human rights violations. His willingness to speak out when so many of his peers have stayed quiet has garnered him plenty of fanfare across the country.
But not everyone is pleased with his activism, including the NBA, which has a close partnership with China. Members of the association are apparently so upset with Freedom that they’ve even attacked his choice of footwear.
“Before the game at Madison Square Garden, two gentlemen from the NBA begged me to take the shoes off,” Freedom told the New York Post of his decision in November to wear custom shoes that say “Free Tibet.”
