Senator Ted Cruz is doubling down on his attack of Mark Cuban and the NBA — claiming the league SAYS it’s all about social justice … until it comes to China. “When it comes to communist China, [the NBA makes] a crap ton of money from China so they silence everybody,” Cruz said … “They’re not willing to say a word.” Cruz is referring to the NBA’s 2019 dust-up with China — when the country blackballed the league because Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey dared to tweet support for protestors in Hong Kong. Cruz thinks the NBA doesn’t really care about freedom or free speech — because its leadership and top players have not publicly criticized the injustice in China the same way they’ve rallied together for social issues in the U.S. “Show me an NBA player who’s allowed to put ‘Tiananmen Square’ on the back of his jersey, then I’ll be impressed with their commitment to free speech.”
