Chapter 491 Righteous words
Li Liang's press conference soon caused an uproar in the sports world.
Race issues have always been a red line issue in the United States. Once mentioned, the consequences will inevitably be huge waves.
Although Li Liang represents a vulnerable Asian group, in the United States, as long as you are taller, you are not afraid that no one will come out to make trouble.
Besides, the problem of Asian discrimination in the United States has always been widespread, but no spokesperson has come out to raise his arms.
This is a good thing. Li Liang has long been well-known in the United States for his magical performance in the rookie season.
When he was in the Los Angeles Lakers, the TV show "Behind the Scenes" soared because of his viewership.
The special series about Li Liang has created a peak viewing ratings for the entire TV program series.
After winning the finals mVp in 60 points in a single game, Li Liang's topic reached its peak and appeared on the cover of Time magazine that year.
Before this, only Yao Ming was the Chinese in the basketball industry who had this honor.
In the new season, Li Liang came to the Clippers, and a series of exciting performances made him always dominate the nBa headlines.
As a result, this happened suddenly, the entire nBa was caught off guard, especially Xiao Hua was caught off guard.
Big brother, I, Adam Silva, have just taken office for one day, and you just made such a big hole for me to make up for it?
I thank you.
Li Liang, Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin are different.
Yao Ming is a player trained within the system. Although Li Liang is of Chinese nationality, in theory, he is trained by the American university system.
So he has a say in terms of race and is very insightful. After all, he has lived and studied in the United States for many years.
Although Jeremy Lin is a Chinese, he is essentially an American except for his ancestral home and bloodline.
Jeremy Lin was also treated a lot of discrimination and differentiation, but with his strength and status, it is not easy to survive in nBa.
Small circles like nBa are extremely serious. If you can't be as self-contained as Li Liang, then it's better to shut up.
Only Li Liang, his identity, strength, and special influence determine that he said it. It is impossible for nBa to ignore it, and Xiao Hua has no choice but to respond positively.
Not to mention anything else, all the content of Li Liang’s press conference was announced on Wei Dazhi’s Twitter.
In the past two years, as Li Liang's information's only external channel, Wei Dazhi's Twitter attention has reached a terrifying level.
And many of them are not ordinary fans, but friends in the media industry. Their change is simply viral.
In less than half a day, the TV station and the media held a big discussion on Asian discrimination.
Of course, not only Asians, Africans, and Latinos were all pulled out.
Soon, the feminists also came out because Li Liang's agent was a woman.
This leads to the issue of gender discrimination in the sports world, and this is a lot of them.
Li Liang's this is completely a butterfly effect... No, it should be a big Peng effect, he is not a little butterfly flapping his wings.
On the night of the end of Li Liang's press conference, nBa official held an emergency press conference.
This is definitely a huge public relations crisis for Xiao Hua.
Theoretically, Li Liang said that he was free of speech.
At the same time, how other nBa players evaluate Asians is also a kind of freedom of speech.
But at this time, if Xiao Hua dares to stand up and say, "Everyone has free expression of their views on race", then congratulations to him, Xiao Hua will become the shortest-term president of nBa in history.
Adam Silva, nBa's fifth president, (February 1, 2o14-February 2, 2o14).
Then Xiao Hua is really the biggest joke in the United States.
Therefore, on the one hand, Xiao Hua cannot stop Li Liangsheng and Asian voices.
On the other hand, you cannot fool this matter casually and say that everyone likes to say their freedom.
He must give an explanation.
In the evening, the newly appointed Adam Silva stood in front of the microphone of the press conference and looked quite calm.
In fact, he was so nervous that he was so nervous. What is this?
What does this mean? It’s like just becoming emperor. The next day, I haven’t slept in the harem, saying that someone rebelled in the capital.
Moreover, the imperial guards rebelled and fought to the Forbidden City, saying, "Your emperor, don't give me an explanation, so don't be like you, the emperor."
Of course, Xiao Hua was over. The nBa office held a two-hour meeting. Former President Stern personally gave advice and called Li Liang.
Because Silva called, Li Liang did not answer.
Stern called and Zhu Shu answered, saying that Li Liang was sleeping.
Damn, you'll go to bed at this point?
Did you go home to sleep after the press conference?
Actually, Li Liang is really sleeping and has gotten new props. Can he go into the system without sleeping?
Then Zhu Shu told Stern that Li Liang had no malicious intentions towards nBa, but he had been subjected to some negative things for a long time, which led to some mental problems. I hope Stern and nBa are officially understanding.
In addition, Li Liang is willing to accept the penalty of two games ban and a fine of 50,000 US dollars.
When Stern heard this, he had some mentality problems. I believe you!
Do you think I forgot the results of Li Liang's assessment during the rookie mental health survey?
"Mentally healthy, overly optimistic about the world, lacking the real beating."
Damn, such evaluation results are rarer than depression or any morbid psychology.
This kid has a good mentality, so he said there is something wrong with his mentality now?
But Stern had no choice. After learning about his attitude from Li Liang, Stern guided Xiao Hua to deal with this problem and never let it leach.
At the press conference, Silva explained and explained Li Liang's news content with a little nervousness.
“……In nBa, no racial discriminatory remarks or behaviors are allowed. We will investigate the content of what Bruce Lee accused…”
The attitude must be expressed. No matter whether what Li Liang said is true or false, it must be investigated.
To be honest, in places like nBa, do you think it is possible if you say that there is no such thing as discrimination against Asians or even Africans?
In such a big alliance, so many simple-minded athletes gathered together, and so many bullshit things every day, without saying a few swear words or cursing Chinese people, it is impossible.
Therefore, the so-called investigation of nBa will not have any clear results, but will serve as a warning.
Xiao Hua immediately added: "NBa will definitely have zero tolerance for any racial discriminatory remarks. If there is a similar situation in the future, nBa will not be tolerant of anyone."
This is the guidance strategy given by Stern, which is called preparing for the future.
The so-called zero tolerance means that we can endure it now, and we can’t bear it later.
Of course, if a situation really happens in the future, let’s analyze the specific situation in detail.
Anyway, the current attitude is absolutely fine. Anyone who wants to criticize nBa has given a minimum explanation.
Anyway, Li Liang did not name someone to insult him and did not need to find a scapegoat.
Li Liang just exposes a window paper that everyone knows about.
Xiao Hua just pasted this layer of window paper again.
The press conference lasted for nearly an hour, and Xiao Hua was asked many questions by reporters.
In general, Xiao Hua has seen the world after all, and these questions are answered one by one.
"The alliance may consider setting up a department for overseeing words and deeds to deal with various issues of speech. Although each of us has the power to free speech, freedom is not without boundaries."
Xiao Hua said this, saying something righteous.
But in a few years, you will slap yourself in the mouth.
At this moment, Li Liang, who caused this public opinion crisis, was sleeping at home.
The moment he completed the "Mist Emperor" mission and obtained a new special item, Li Liang lost interest in how to punish Xiao Hua.
Chapter completed!
