Chapter 268 The opened magic box of desire! (High energy in this chapter)(2/2)

The topic of racial discrimination is too sensitive in the United States, and this is an explosion!

In an instant, the NBA was on the top of national searches, and Dolan became the public enemy of black people across the United States.

This scene is much more serious than what happened with Sterling in history.

Because this is basically equivalent to unleashing group ridicule skills on the black people.

How can I bear this?

A large number of NBA players, including but not limited to black stars, were condemned, and celebrities also began to speak out.

Demonstrations broke out immediately in New York.

Of course, there will always be beatings, smashing, and looting during the parade.

Lin Ying was also stunned.

He had no idea that the other party in Collins’ recording was Dolan!

And he couldn't comment on Dolan's complaints.

But now the parade in New York seems to be proving that what Dolan said is correct.

But those are not important now. What is important is that at this moment when the relationship between labor and management is tense, Dolan directly dropped a nuclear bomb.

Everyone in Stern was dumbfounded.

For the first time, he felt that his alliance was in danger.

Dolan is the representative of the employer, and the top management of the league is the representative brought to the stage by the employer.

If this is not handled properly, it is not impossible for the NBA to be banned.

But it was at this point that he showed his "godfather" level strength.

When this matter became a big deal, Stern stated that he would invite New York State officials to investigate together, and also stated that he would never condone racial discrimination.

In fact, from another perspective, the NBA is facing a huge crisis, but it is also an opportunity.

Because Dolan became the owner of the Knicks, he has been criticized by fans and the media.

Don’t talk about making money by lying down in a big city. How about making money by lying down in Los Angeles next door?

The Lakers team managed by Buss Sr. was the league's benchmark and the league's golden brand.

The location of the Knicks should be another area.

At least before Dolan took over, the Knicks were a competitive championship team.

But since Dolan took over, there has been a kind of rot in the bones. In the true sense, the mud cannot hold up the wall.

So take this opportunity to find a new owner for the Knicks?

Stern must have thought about this, but he just never had the chance before.

Now the opportunity has come.

Of course, this matter will never come to an end so quickly.

Because Dolan has been able to hang out in New York for so long and is not someone to be trifled with.

He quickly issued a statement saying that it was a synthetic recording and asked for identification.

He then stated that he was a staunch supporter of black people, and also cited a lot of evidence: the Knicks are hiring African Americans as senior management of the team, including the team president.

So it is still unknown what the final result will be.

The ending of Dolan has not yet been determined, but the other two people involved in this matter are really unlucky.

The first one is James.

This is the first time a public figure has complained about James!

Although James actually did nothing in this matter, his impression among league owners has plummeted.

We are all capitalists, no one can say that one is more beautiful than the other.

Look at the changes in Jordan's attitudes as a player and as an owner in history. Different statuses determine different mentality.

So these bosses will definitely become worried about recruiting James.

The second one is Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua actually said nothing at all in that recording.

As Lin Ying knew, Xiao Hua was not a racist, not even the "gay" he suspected in the coming year.

However, this incident had a huge impact on him.

Here is an example of an incident in which a black man suffocated to death due to violent law enforcement by the American police in the future.

They declined to comment on the incident itself, but after it happened, the black community asked many people they knew to express support for black people.

If you didn't say, I'm sorry, you are racist.

Silence means opposition.

This is their way of thinking.

And it’s a bit dramatic to say the least. Because of this incident in history, Dolan was questioned as being racist because of his silence.

Later, it was the "Smiling Assassin" Thomas who came forward to speak for him and prevented the situation from escalating further.

Therefore, Xiao Hua's silence in the recording and his lack of opposition to Dolan's remarks were viewed by them as approval, agreement, and racial discrimination!

Xiao Hua: I have never been so speechless in my life.

And unlike Dolan, he couldn't even defend himself.

Therefore, Dolan's investigation has not yet concluded. Under huge pressure from public opinion, or possibly at Stern's request, Xiao Hua resigned from his position as vice president of the league.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment when he saw the news, and then couldn't help laughing.

This matter is very subtle!

In history, because of the Mosaic incident, Xiao Hua was unwilling to let Mosaic get out of the NBA. In the end, he messed up the NBA overseas market just for freedom.

But now, he himself was directly forced to resign!

For Lin Ying, although the development of this whole thing was completely beyond his expectation, this result meant that his desired goal was completely achieved.

That’s it, very satisfying!
Chapter completed!
