- The NBA, Hollywood and many big companies make ads saying "speak up on injustice.” Yet they’re happy to ignore atrocities committed by China, because they want the money.

The NBA runs ads saying the league speaks for "the people who may not be able to be heard.”
It's “PR hogwash” says journalist Melissa Chen, because the NBA discourages its players from criticizing injustice in China.
One general manager tweeted, “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong.”
That’s a good thing to say, since China is crushing freedom in Hong Kong.
But the NBA apologized profusely, afraid that China might be offended.
Hollywood grovels before China too.
Actor John Cena innocently called Taiwan a country.
China insists Taiwan is not a country, but a territory the Chinese own.
Fearing his movie would be banned in China, Cena released a video begging China for forgiveness.
Sadly, there are few examples of bravery. We highlight one important one.
John Cena speaking Chinese begging for forgiveness was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen
Well said. He is as also as corrupt as the CCP. A scam artist par excellence. POS.
I had a lot of respect for him before that...
John xina..
I think now you saw him..
John Cena is kind of a joke. He has no real core value but money and how to make more/

Lebron saying that Morrey was "MISINFORMED" has to be one of the most blatant lie peddling there ever can be.
(Misinformed)
The LeBum James comes out and says he's "afraid of dying every time he leaves his house" and all the other LIES he said about Kyle Rittenhouse.
Interesting… they’re sayin rogan is spreading misinformation.
The entire far left is a lie told bald face and expecting the rest of us to grovel
Misinformed is pretending to hate China because they're protecting their citizens from FGM, terror attacks and the people that open REAL slave markets in the countries they control.
Every time an Actor, athlete or company acts like they care about ANYTHING...follow the money...they'er LYING!
"What 'multiculturalism' boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture-and you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture." - Thomas Sowell
Thomas Sowell is the man. He's a very private individual and hates the spotlight but his wisdom is what this country needs right now. Too bad the woke crowd think of him as a traitor or worse.

@@herbertherbertic6223 only racists place value on the color of a person’s skin. The human brain is the only flesh that matters and it comes in one color: grey.
@@JoJoJoker Although I am a racist, that's beside the point. I think your praise of Tom Sowell, who is no doubts an intelligent man, serves to show the leftists that you too have a black man on your side. You like mr Sowell not because he is a conservative, but because he is a BLACK conservative.

LeBranda calling someone “uninformed” and “not educated” 😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂 he's uninformed and not educated, and milking this hugely
And Daryl Morey has an MBA from MIT!
No it’s Comrade LeBronkov
John Stossel makes me feel good that not everyone I grew up watching was a hack.
Great video, Mr. Stossel. I stopped watching the NBA cowards a few years ago. Same for Disney and their woke ideology. Since they seem to care so much about money, then perhaps people on this side of the world should make them pay by not being consumers of what they offer.
They're not hypocritical. They are true to their one value: money. They do whatever they can to maximize profits.
True.
This is the true meaning of evil..... Jesus abhorred this kind of hypocrisy.
When Lebron mentioned "Misinformed," and "be careful what you have to say," he was talking about saying something that may lose profitability.
If they think this is going to get them rich, they are very wrong.
They sell your freedom for money. No wonder there is a opioid epidemic fueled by communist Chinese fentanyl.
Coke: “voting ID in Georgia is a travesty! It’s inhuman!”
Also coke: “Uyghurs? Never heard of them”. *counts Chinese money
Requiring identification to vote is such a human rights travesty. I can't think of a single area in any country where ID is used for official governmental purposes. So sad. Burn Georgia to the ground and install more Democrats so we can vote -only for Democrats- freely as many times as we please.
They think Uyghurs are white people who act black.

@@ChomoBidensMules That's funny, because I could totally imagine a midwestern woman pronouncing it as wigger.
@@Blueshirt38 Sarcasm? The U.S. is one of the few countries on earth that DOESN'T require a voter I.D. and it's absolutely bizarre.
It really does make it harder for the vote counters to pull off what many of them got away with in last presidential election.
As a lifelong Celtics fan I'm incredibly proud of Enes Freedom and his willingness to speak the truth and stand up and speak for those that have been silenced. He's not one of those hypocritical players making excuses for China or Turkey one second and saying how he stands with Black Lives Matter the next. He may not be one of the best players but he certainly is one of the best humans in the NBA and beyond. Much love and respect to Enes.
If you want to silence Enes Freedom, just ask him about the US human rights abuses and violations around the world.
@@rcbrascan wow, that's some vague whataboutism bs.
Thank you John for always being what every reporter should be.
Lebron James calling Daryl Morey, who has an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management, "uneducated", is the high watermark of stupidity.
And I wonder if LeBron actually earned his high school diploma. 🤔
The only education LeBron has is from acting school. Pretending to be flagrantly fouled every time someone touches him.
But can he play ball
He is edumacated!
He went straight from high school to the NBA, which may explain his often childish and emotional remarks.....the eternal teenager.

What a great report. Being a liberal and you a conservative we can both agree on basic American values. FREEDOM OF SPEECH, for one.For the NBA to kowtow to a brutal repressive regime because it wont show basketball games is unbelievable!That actor begging for forgiveness was, as you said ,makes one want to puke.
Cant wait for his next movie. China syndrome 2.
Thanks for sharing. Justice will come, for all. May they be wise and choose mercy before justice is served.
I quit watching the NBA years ago and never looked back. The hypocrisy is disgusting.
NBA = 10 overgrown multi-millionaires in funny clothes fighting over an orange toy..
It's meaningless. It's a children's game. But 1000s of people devote their lives to it.
I stopped watching games after BLM events and support from NBA. That organization is deadly to humanity. I confess that I have been watching some NBA highlights recently again because I really enjoy the game, but becoming aware of this new low reminds me of why I quit games. I think I will abstain from highlights, too.
Larry: Sure is, it's like American companies bending over and taking off their pants while China laughs.
I quit watching virtually all sports when they began denouncing America as rotten to the core while supporting the CCP crackdown on Hong Kong abroad and openly supporting violent riots and arson at home. I think the PGA is the last bastion of professional sports for me at present.
@@bnkosu I don't know for sure, but I'd bet the "PGA Tour China" was the result of a lot of selling their souls to Beijing.
This is like any sociopolitical war: the enemy doesn't win by being superior, the enemy wins by making you believe him to be superior.
Acting like you've been oppressed or are a victim fits in there somewhere.
The enemy wins by having money, perfectly fine within capitalism.
@@kei2142 Funny, isn't it a Socialist/Communist government that is committing those evils?
I will never apologize for saying and calling it like I see it
There is no justice in the world.
The intensity of the apologies from the NBA and Hollywood across is so shocking. They don’t just try to backtrack. The apologies include their “love” for China.
The gods of Mount Hollywood are slowly becoming mere mortals and are desperately trying to keep their divinity by begging the Old Ones for salvation, little do they realize that once the Old Ones have their Tendrils in Mount Hollywood they will rebuild the Pantheon.
It's not shocking, it's gross. They don't care about freedom and liberty. They just want a payday.

“When you’re misinformed”. Just like Lebron seemed to be misinformed on rhittenhouse
Thanks for covering this John
Imagine someone w really no education with the only skill they have being playing a sport calling someone else uninformed and not educated.
By design. Imagine a popular news caster interning with the CIA.

I may have to disagree with that... As LeChina James was recently awarded a Razzie Award for his lackluster 🤢🤮 performance in Space Jam
@@yankeerepairs good point!
So he's better at improv than following a script! 😂😂
"Misinformed, uneducated, inappropriate" All said for posting a simple tweet about freedom in Hong Kong. Just wow
The Wokeish are using the same tactical handbook of the CCP plus many other dirty tricks of critical theory to also gain power and control over people.
Most NBA players can't even read or pronounce those words.
What's really a shame, is that it wasn't Lebrons helicopter that crashed.
"me play basketball for a job. me smarter than you."
Lebron is absolutely right though... Americans should start learning how to do some critical thinking, have your own opinion instead of just simply believing everything you hear....
Hong Kong was 3rd on the Human Freedom Index in 2019 when the riots started, please google this, if you care about the truth...
So it can't get much better for people in Hong Kong, can it? Do you really think people who hold that position have the right to start whining about how bad their lives are?? They burned down the city for half a year all just because of the extradition law, they are the Epitome of snowflakes.... But this is what happens when you are ignorant brainwashed and clueless....
Nobody killed by the Chinese police BTW, only the rioters have killed people. They kill, beat up people and even set people on fire, just for disagreeing with them.. Normally these rioters would be called fascists, but not in the US, Americans call these fascists, freedom fighters and peaceful protesters..
Can US police also say they have't killed anybody in half year of rioting?
Look at jan 6, 1 day riot and of course the police had to shoot an unarmed woman in the face...
Also, the right to protest and the right to vote was given to Hong Kong by China.. They only have these rights since 1997... Under British rule, the people in Hong Kong never had these rights, because the UK couldn't care less about democracy..
you don't know all these things, because you are brainwashed and only listen to liars like the people on this channel..
Free your mind from all the lies, be a master of your own mind or listen to garbage channels like this and be lied to for the rest of your life, you will never know the truth about anything in this the world... You have a choice....
Thank you, John! Stossel for the President!
Wow, open your eyes people. Thank you John Stossel!
It’s about time someone brought this up. It’s time for the American people to wake up.
No one is waking up
Very high chance this video will be demonetised. It's hard to wake people up when reporting on reality is actively suppressed by corporations.
Tucker Carlson has been talking about it every week for 5 years and still no one cares.
Shockingly, out here in Utah, our local news station KSL 5 has been merciless in reminding Olympic viewers about the Uyghers. They also mentioned how it was odd that Taiwan and Hong Kong were presented right after each other, attempting to make Taiwan seem like a territory like Hong Kong. I'm not holding out much hope for bigger news outlets, but at least they're talking about it.
Lookup China Uncensored. They have been talking about this for years.
"We're all for fighting for human rights, until it jeopardises our bottom line."
Honestly I'm jealous how cohesive their people are
Thank you John for doing the right thing. I'm taking smalls steps to do the same.
Thank you John. I pray that some day we will again have freedom of speech.
I actually need to take the time to thank the Coca-Cola Corporation for bending the knee to China. All of my favorite sodas are Coca-Cola Corporation so in my venture to stop supporting China I have cut soda from my diet nearly entirely.
A healthy choice in more ways than one
It's one of the healthiest things to do to cut soda consumption. When I just cut mine in half and replaced the other half with water, the pounds started shedding. I love soda too much to cut it completely though 😅

Thanks John. Can't believe the hypocrisy of these people. They have sold their souls.

Love you John! Keep the truth coming!
Everyone needs to share this to open peoples eyes.
These people have forgotten what America stands for. No doubt due to our pathetic education system and complicit media. We are in real danger of Chinese oppression spreading across the world because of this.

I don't support ANY of those businesses with my money. It's extraordinarily easy to spend your money at businesses that support your beliefs and to avoid those that do not
While I strive to not give money to these various companies: It's not easy to find some products where every company who makes it, is anti-your beliefs. Additionally, how easy is it to not buy any products made in China? It's impossible. So until Americans demand change, this is going to be an issue.
@@kinjunranger140 I live without those products and the only thing I have at this very moment that was made in China is this smartphone I've had for 3 years. I can find many products not made in China on eBay.
@@mandelabrein8116 It's getting harder every day. Most big businesses are fully on the evil lgbqP bandwagon. Even Chickfila bowed to the evil of blm.
@@mandelabrein8116 a lot of those products that are labeled "Made in the USA" only get that label because final assembly is done in the US, not most of the manufacturing of it. For some, simply sewing in the tag in the US qualifies them to be able to use the label.
You're nowhere near as removed as you think you are.
@@jamuraisack5503 how do you figure? I don't live in some big city with limited options, I live in very rural Alabama. I still have local artisans I can buy from, my local government has yet to regulate them out of existence. I know I'm not 100% off Chinese goods but I'm getting damn well close. Just do what you can. Giving up alittle bit of convenience will go a long way for your local economy. I see how buying products off eBay can be construed so I'm going to be working on changing that. I should be spending all my money locally anyways, instead of just most of it.
I rarely leave likes on videos I watch. I don’t even think I give one per day. But when it’s a Stossel video, it’s a like every time. More people need to hear you Stossel.
What a shame on all these woke companies and wok NBA players !
Once again John Stossel showing the ugly underbelly of our society.
Thank you
"We stand for human rights!". They say this while wearing clothing or shoes made from sweat shops and child labor. But they remain quiet when there is real violations of human rights. All because they don't want to lose opportunities to make more money.
Some of these guys may be strong physically, but they lack conviction and true courage. Either that or they lack the intelligence to actually see what is really going on
LaBrenda is strong physically, but he collapses if a player touches him. "Boo-hoo-hoo! Owieee!"
The hypocrisy is astonishing!!!!!
Great stuff!! Thank you for talking about this truth
Cowardice was a perfect description
I call it prostitution, since they will do anything for money.
You may be the last journalist left, John. Thank you. Never stop.
Thank you so much for this video.
Stossel’s journalism still slaps after all these years!!!
"Grovelling" and "bald face hypocrisy". Those two statements stood out to me from this video. Thanks, John.
A 7 minute showing the slaves of the US entertainment industry. Over paid, and absolutely mindless athletes. It’s so ridiculous it’s sad. Bending over backwards for their master.
Thanks John
Thank you for using your platform to speak on this.
Simply enough these companies need to realize money isn’t more important than human rights.
They dont care
Companies don't care and never have
companies dont care what you think .... corporations move profits offshore while enjoying the benefits of western society .... rich people dont care what you think .... your governments at all levels dont care what you think ... and you know what i ..... basically everyone ever
If Apple, Nike, NBA, and Hollywood were to tell China NO, then there would be a change.
That'll never happen. Profit over principles, even though they browbeat the rest of us with those same "principles".
@@NobleOmnicide Agree
@@NobleOmnicide What's sad is that they could have their profits AND their integrity if they all just said no and shut that shit down. Guess what? You have a country just slightly south with a similar population and not nearly so many human rights abuses that you can invest in. Move all your business to India and say f- China
@@Bookworm51485 If only India could get IT'S act together, invest in infrastructure instead of sectarian oppression, lift its export controls, modernize its financials systems, etc. etc. Its own failure to capitalize on its potential as an alternative to China is telling. Kind of like Mexico's inability to capitalize on its close proximity to the United States.
@@NobleOmnicide too much money in it for them. Hell the nba is owned by Nike imo that pays dollars for shoes they sell here for 300 bucks. The nbas ratings are down 75% since Jordan retired and know the only way they can survive is China.
This didn't show up on the channel until an hour ago for me. Subbed with notifications on.
Thank you for the education stay strong
The problem is that the American economy has boxed itself in a corner. The appropriate response would be to stop consuming Chinese goods and services until they stop committing genocide. Unfortunately, we rely on China to make most of our consumer goods at an extremely low price, and the American people don't have the willpower to lower their consumption. If we had more manufacturing and production in this country instead of importing everything from China, it would be a much easier solution.
Money wins out every time. Even to those who already have it.
It really is bizarre
Good job John!
0.001% of NBA players are upstanding role models. Imagine taking your kids to see a hand ball game (they don't dribble anymore).
Who knew that out of all those big strong giants, there is only one man. I watched Kanter’s citizenship ceremony and got misty eyed. He makes me proud to be an American.
It's a beautiful, glorious thing to see a man from a foreign country, come here, fully embrace the culture and assimilate, then celebrate when they're a full on citizen. It should make you misty eyed.
Thank you
thank you for the fight for freedom
This is why Enes Kanter Freedom is the man.
This video states the reason why I don't watch the NBA, go to or watch movies, don't wear Nike, and don't drink Coke products. I wish there was a way to not buy Chinese made products at all but in 2022, that's nearly impossible. However, I do have quite a few musical instruments that were made in Indonesia and not China (hopefully that's at least a little bit better). My family and I are going to Disney in March but only because that's what my daughter wanted as a graduation celebration. If it was up to me, I would've done a Cruise on Royal Caribbean instead.
And what is Russia doing?
SPOT ON, as usual. You da man John.
Some of the best information and truth on the Internet today!
I just watched "Moon Fall" this weekend. It was obviously ridiculous, but a fun movie anyway. The main problem (at least for me) is that they had injected at least a dozen lines that had no purpose other than to make sure the movie could make the Chinese government happy and play in the Chinese market. China wasn't in the movie, but when they needed something they would reference it as being supplied by "our Chinese friends", the news clips playing in the background were all Chinese friendly, the Chinese tech was better than the American tech, the kid was learning to speak Chinese (even though it had nothing to do with the plot), etc.
Hey SimonASNG, this Stossel is pretty good and true. Thanks for the movie review. Would you still recommend to go see the movie (for fun)?
It is financed by Huayi Brothers, a chinese production company, what did you expect?
Damn, you should have just seen Jackass Forever, at least you know there would be no pandering to China.
On a similar vein I have absolutely nothing against gay people but it seems every single film now needs a gay character. When they made Q from James Bond gay it had nothing to do in furthering the plot at all. They made him gay just for the sake of being woke.
Another great reason to not watch it
The left is so confusing and infuriating! Multiple sets of rules for different groups of people.
Really great video John.

Invaded, toppled Dalai Lama (still haunts you though, hahahh), and oh.. Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang.. lots of invading, toppling it looks like! Next let's look at Russia, late 60s China tried to take part of Siberia..
