NBA Ignores Human Rights Atrocities

Enes Kantor Freedom is making waves, and enemies, in his chosen profession as he continues to speak out against China. Thankfully the sports entertainment company has not silenced the player, yet. But other players, nor team owners have exactly jumped on his campaign for true justice.

In fact, recently one NBA owner came out on record to say that “nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs.” Chamath Palihapitiya, the part-time owner of the Golden State Warriors, went on the “All-In Podcast,” his comments on the plight of the Uyghur people drew outrage on social media.

“Every time I say that I care about the Uyghurs, I’m really just lying if I don’t really care. And so, I’d rather not lie to you and tell you the truth, it’s not a priority for me,” Palihapitiya said on the podcast.

His priorities are climate change, the healthcare system in the United States, and the incarceration rate of “black and brown men” in the U.S. Yes, that right America is the bad guy according to Palihapitiya.

Enes Kantor Freedom was not silent long after the interview. The Player responded by tweeting that Palihapitiya would “sell their soul for money & business.”

“When [NBA] says we stand for justice, don’t forget there are those who sell their soul for money & business like [Chamath Palihapitiya] the owner of[Warriors], who says ‘Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs,’” Enes Kanter Freedom wrote.

“When genocides happen, it is people like this that let it happen. Shame!” he continued.
