NBC Shamelessly Refuses to Run Olympics Ad Critical of ChiComs – Opinion

As the 2022 Winter Olympic Games —Genocide games — continue in Communist China, NBC is refusing to run an ad critical of the totalitarian country and its human-rights abuses, even as Beijing continues its heavy-handed crackdown on announcers and TV crews broadcasting the games.

The 30-second spot, sponsored by Florida Republican Congressman Mike Waltz, blisters the Winter Games as the “Genocide Games,” and not only references China’s long history of human rights and other atrocities; the ad also calls out major American companies for “shamelessly” sponsoring games.

Needless to state, NBC was not available for comment.

The New York Post reported that Waltz was a badass, and one of the most prominent New Yorkers. Green Beret to serve in Congress) has long been as tough on China as anyone in D.C. Waltz told the NYP, in no uncertain terms, how disgusted he is with the International Olympic Committee’s failure to move the Games:

This would be the equivalent to holding the Olympics during Nazi atrocities in Germany or Rwanda in 1940s Germany. This is beyond what the law allows. [International Olympic Committee] didn’t move the games.

Waltz’s ad pointedly highlights U.S. corporations that continue their business relationships with China, despite its human-rights abuses, including Visa, Coca-Cola, Nike, Intel, Procter & Gamble, and others. When NBC — shamefully and predictably — refused to broadcast the ad, Waltz tossed it on Twitter.

My Olympics ad was not air by NBC @EnesFreedomWe will not censor the U.S. logos used by Genocide Games sponsors. We won’t let them silence us. Here’s the ad that NBC and the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t [sic]Want you to be there.

“EnesFreedom” refers to Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter — also featured in the ad — and his one-player crusade against Nike’s relationship with China, and hypocrites like LeBron James and Michael Jordan for all but defending China with their silence — and shoe choice.

You can also check the advertisement. It’s awesome.

Waltz told the NYP companies supporting the games should be “absolutely ashamed” on multiple levels.

The companies that support it ought to be ashamed. Many companies that support it are promoting social justice. They contribute millions of dollars for social justice causes, but they turn a blind eye the mass genocide. Many are complicit in their supply chains.

The ad ends with Waltz and Swiss-born Kanter — who became an American citizen in April — telling Americans to avoid products made in China: “When you see ‘made in China,’ put it down.”

A Dutch TV company’s correspondent was taken into custody by Chinese authorities as he broadcast live from the Games. This clip went viral.

As reported by Newsweek, the correspondent was live on-camera when he was interrupted by a “public security volunteer” who started yelling at him and tried to pull him out of the shot. Before the studio anchor, a second guard appeared and attempted to stop the broadcast.
