The federal government is stepping in to pressure the NBA and its players to sever ties with two Chinese companies. Anta and La-Ning are two Chinese companies that use several NBA players for endorsements.
Both companies are accused of using forced labor for their cotton. A bipartisan group in Congress has formed...and are pressuring the NBA and its players to take action against the human rights violations in China. Some of the players involved are Jimmy Butler...Klay Thompson...CJ McCollum...and future Hall-of-Famer Dwayne Wade.
Surprisingly...Nike and LeBron James ceased buying cotton picked by forced labor. This decision caused a fierce backlash in China...with the Chinese boycotting Nike.
Will the NBA respond? Will Adam Silver take advantage of this opportunity to do the right thing?
