Freedom Gains Nobel Nomination For Putting Anti-China Stand Over Paycheck

“Sometimes taking a stand is more important than your next paycheck.” The man who said that has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He was also booted out of the National Basketball Association for calling out China’s human rights abuses. Enes Kanter Liberty is the only pro basketball player to stand up against China’s brutal oppression, and the NBA for placing Chinese profit over principle.

Freedom (seen above in file photo) had been calling out China all season long, as a member of the Boston Celtics – in every way possible. Interviews, social media, and designer shoes made by Freedom were all ways he called out China for Tibet to be free. Freedom was loved by Bostonians, but the Celts traded him to Houston recently and he was quickly freed. People advocating for China to grant freedom are too much for the spineless NBA to bear, and they’ve got to go.

Freedom’s courage under fire (the NBA pressured him to keep silent about China) has reportedly been chosen a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize. He was recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize by 30 Nobel laureates as well as a member the Norwegian Parliament. The Nobel laureates said Freedom is standing “on the right side of history.”

The man who endured the headwinds of criticism from China’s NBA lackeys Tweeted, “I’m honored and humbled to receive the nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Sometimes taking a stand is more important than your next paycheck.” How true!

U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee commended Freedom also:

“Glad to see @EnesFreedom, again & applaud his advocacy for human rights in Turkey, Xingjiang & worldwide. Enes’ sacrifices inspire our efforts as we work to confront injustice, combat democratic backsliding, & free those wrongfully jailed in Turkey & elsewhere.”

Talk is cheap and so is the NBA’s so-called concern for social justice. It’s reserved for criminals who confront public safety officers, people like Jacob Blake, the Kenosha, Wis., man who refused police orders to stand down in 2020.

After that, the NBA’s machine came to an abrupt halt. They cancelled all games and displayed Black Lives Matter slogans throughout the city. Marxist-generated “injustice” was elevated over sports. LeBron James, who was more than just an athlete back then, is not the same today when it comes China.

Social justice concerns evaporate when China pours millions of dollars into the NBA’s coffers. NBA is blinded by totalitarianism and slavery in China. Kanter Freedom’s activism becomes too much to bear and he is shown the door.

Freedom read the graffiti on the wall, and knew that his activism wouldn’t be tolerated forever. On the PBS “Firing Line with Margaret Hoover” program just a day before Boston sent him packing, he said, “They’re going to do everything they can to, I believe, not sign me now.”

Freedom’s remarkably short time in Houston was for the sole purpose of the Rockets to process him out of pro basketball. China ended up removing a rebel and ensuring NBA compliance. And NBA Commissioner Adam Silver isn’t sweating about losing China revenue.

Wasting no time as a private citizen, Freedom visited the U.S. Capitol last week to meet with Senate Republicans in closed-door meetings about China’s abuses and its relationship with the NBA.

Utah’s U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, chairman of the Senate Republican Steering Committee, wants the NBA to explain why Freedom was traded by the Boston Celtics and then released by the Houston Rockets. “I would love an explanation from the NBA, I really would,” he told the Hill. “I think a lot of people would very much like an explanation from them. He is proud to have taken an honorable stand against China’s genocide. Proud he’s an American and taking a stand for freedom!”

Two standing ovations were given to Freedom by GOP senators. They applauded him for his support of human rights and critical criticisms of China’s government and called him “very inspirational” and “amazing”. Non-Players and NBA players could be blacklisted for their criticisms of China, he said.

Freedom stands tall because of this courage.
