darryl exercising his freedom of expression. i understand that there are consequences from that exercise of in essence his freedom of speech and we will have to live with those consequences. i m similar b similar pathetic - sympathetic to our interest here and our partners who are upset and i don t think it s inconsistent on one hand to be sympathetic to them and at the same time stand by our principles. i think lebron james, adam silver, the commissioner, league, they re all being told basically by china, nike, shut up and dribble, just play basketball and that s what they re doing today. and you know, this provides them a level of protection, they won t say anything stupid or say anything that further irritates the relationship with china.
arthel: andrew, how do you see it, are the players civil rights being compromised in any way? no, i just think it s interesting because this is a league that has been known for being very expressive about human rights, civil rights, human liberties. when it comes to this, they re being told or they feel like they re not going there. and what s interesting is because the nba has maintained this progressive approach, whereas other leagues,ing you, w they re business first, you know they re not going to wade into this but the nba has. my reaction is, the nba, we re learning they re like the other leagues. they have a $1.5 billion deal with ten cent, a digital media company in china. they re protecting that interest over the interest of individual expressions. arthel: they re not alone. there s a list of other companies caving to china s demands, nba, and you ve got apple, activision, blizzard, which is a gaming company. so when you look at this,
though, from the perspective of business and commerce versus democracy, is there a way to separate the two or is this the early stages of the melding of the two with one controlling the other? well, i think adam silver as we talked about, the commissioner is really doing a tight open rope. he s trying to tight rope. he s trying to protect his business interests with china which were damaged this week but i think the damage is temporary. it s all about maintaining what happened this week. they re not going to lose these deals. china is suspending relations. they didn t televise the games. that was all temporary. but i think adam silver and the nba cannot get out of china soon enough. this episode did not go well because as i said, on one hand they stand for free expression, they re a progressive league. the commissioner supported things like taking a stance against bathroom bills and advocating for sports betting and throwing out an owner who made rateist comments racist comments.
that s not the time for it. let s see what the commissioner does, what the owners do. this is not a simple slap on the wrist and take sensitivity courses. this is that needs to be addressed and a result has to come out. this the not just bad for african-americans. yes, the league is 85% african-american. this is bad for the owners, for the league, bad for the fans. more importantly, it s bad on a global level. the league has owners from russia. president obama is in malaysia. they have an owner from sou east asia, india. they look at our culture and race differently. it can impact business, period. this needs to be handled and dealt with permanently. two quick thoughts if i may. i think this part is encouraging. i m not being naive. i m not saying donald sterling is the only person who holds these views ta may come out in an unguarded moment.
