(Fox News) LeBron James and other NBA stars have kept silent on a Chinese court’s recent ruling that homosexuality can be considered a mental disorder, leading to criticism that the progressive league won’t speak out on matters that could affect its cash flow.
“Remember, the NBA is the same organization that once pulled its All-Star Game out of Charlotte after a North Carolina law banned transgender people from using bathrooms in accordance with their gender identities,” Sam Amico wrote for the sports website OutKick.
“Now, will the league speak out about the Chinese court ruling that states referring to homosexuality as a mental disorder is a-OK? Will it pull preseason games out of China, stop accepting money from Chinese merchandise sales, vehemently speak out about the communist nation’s decision to promote materials that are clearly anti-LGBT?”
