Pence Rips NBA & Nike: NBA Acts as a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of China

EXCERPT:

PENCE: "Nike promotes itself as a so-called social justice champion, but when it comes to Hong Kong, it prefers checking its social conscience at the door. Nike stores in China actually removed their Houston Rockets merchandise from their shelves to join the Chinese government in protest against the Rockets' general manager seven-word Tweet which said, 'Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong.' And some of the NBA's biggest players and owners, who routinely exercise their freedom to criticize this country, lose their voices when it comes to the freedom and rights of the people of China. In siding with the Chinese Communist Party and silencing free speech, the NBA is acting like a wholly-owned subsidiary of that authoritarian regime.”
