Chapter 701
This is a conference room.
A group of nba executives are sitting together, discussing how to deal with this "Qin Hao's defeat".
Originally, after communicating with Cheng Yongzheng, they had decided to issue a clarification announcement at the same time. They wanted the public to clarify that the voting for the All-Star substitute lineup was completely fair and just, and there was no fraud or shady scene.
But before they could act, they got the news that the fans in Philadelphia were holding a protest march to protest the racial discrimination in the NBA league. Because Qin Hao was an Asian player, he was discriminated against and treated differently, which caused him to lose the All-Star selection.
After all, there was a "voting turmoil" before, and Qin Hao's votes were only 32 votes away from Ross, which aroused great doubts and criticisms.
This time, Griffin was selected, while Qin Hao was not selected. It is hard to say which of the two performed better this season. It is almost a tie, so it is no wonder that people question it.
For a while, the NBA was somewhat passive.
Racial discrimination is not a trivial matter. The United States is a country of multi-racial and multi-colored people, and it is a federation established in colonies.Racial discrimination has existed since hundreds of years ago, and it is still a sensitive topic today.
It would be fine if Philadelphia fans just felt unfair because of Qin Hao, but once racial discrimination was involved, the nature would be different.
"Let's talk about it." Adam Silva, vice president of NBA and assistant to president David Stein, is in charge of hosting the meeting. Protest marches, fans in China are also protesting, what should we do?"
"Vice President." One person said nonchalantly, "I don't think it's a big deal. There are only so many fans in Philadelphia, so they can't make much of a fuss. As for the Chinese fans, it's just a moment of anger. Don't they all say they are forgetful? Forget about it for a while."
Hearing this, Adam Silva frowned.
At this time, another person also echoed: "Kerry is right. The reason why the fans in Philadelphia protested and marched is because Qin is a player of the 76ers. Could it be that fans in other places will support them? So we only need to come up with one." Clarify the announcement, and ignore the rest."
"Correct."
"I think so."
Everyone echoed, not thinking it was a big deal.
Even if "race-racial discrimination" is involved, do you have evidence?
Chinese players protested because Qin Hao is a Chinese player, and Philadelphia fans protested because Qin Hao is a player of the 76ers. Why didn't they protest for other players?
If this makes the alliance succumb, will anyone be able to use racial discrimination as a weapon in the future to force the alliance to bow its head?
joke!
Adam Silva frowned and pondered. He didn't think so. He always believed that China was a huge market and it was necessary to take it seriously.
It seems inappropriate to simply issue a clarification announcement.
"Boom!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Adam Silva said "Come in", and a white woman walked in. She was Silva's assistant. She came to Silva's side and lowered her voice: "I just got the news that fans in other cities also started to protest. It is believed that Qin's incident is indeed 'racial-racial discrimination'."
"Huh?" Silva's face changed slightly, and what he was worried about still happened.
Racial discrimination is a sensitive topic in the United States. Once this topic is ignited, people who empathize with it will respond, and this is not just Philadelphia fans.
If it was just for Qin Hao, I am afraid that only Philadelphia fans would protest, but if it involves "race-racial discrimination", it is not just a matter of Philadelphia.
"Everyone." Silva knocked on the table and told the others the news.
For a while, everyone was in an uproar and whispering.
This surprised them, and they didn't expect this matter to develop like this.
Kerry, who was indifferent before, couldn't calm down now, and said in a panic: "Vice President, what should we do now?"
Silva pondered for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, the mobile phone on the table rang. When he picked it up, he couldn't help frowning. It was Cheng Yongzheng calling.
After answering the phone, Silva's face has become extremely ugly.
"Everyone." Silva put down his phone, "It's another bad news. According to the news in China, Chinese fans have started to boycott the NBA. Some Chinese media, including Sports Five and Sina.com, have sent emails demanding We take this matter seriously and give a reasonable explanation."
For a moment, everyone panicked.
The joint boycott of Chinese fans is certainly not a good thing for them, not to mention there are five sets of sports and Sina.com, these two are partners of the nba.
If Qin Hao's matter is not handled properly, it may even affect the cooperation between the nba and them, especially the five sets of sports.
If the nba wants to spread widely in China and expand its influence, it is absolutely inseparable from the five sets of sports.
"Vice President, what should we do?"
"What else should I do? It must be taken seriously."
Some people are beginning to change their attitudes.
At first I thought it was just some fans making trouble, but I didn't expect that even the five sets of sports would intervene.
This is actually because Qin Hao took a public service advertisement for Sports Five. Although it was a public service advertisement, Sports Five was not for profit, but Qin Hao's support for public welfare gave them an excellent impression.
So now that Qin Hao is being treated unfairly and needs support, they naturally can't stand by and watch.And the five sets of sports have been shot, and Sina can't just watch.
"This matter is a bit troublesome." Silva felt that the situation was a little out of control, but could it be possible to change the All-Star substitute list?
After thinking about it, he still couldn't make up his mind. He sighed and said, "I have nothing to do. I'd better report it to the president and let the president make up his mind."
"Ok."
"Then report to the president immediately."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Originally, they thought it was just a trivial matter, and they could handle it. There was no need for the president David Stein to take action in person, but now things are getting out of control, and the president must be called in.
Silva then reported the matter to president David Stein.
David Stein has been the president of the NBA since 1984, and it has been more than [-] years now. Under his leadership, the NBA has become a media that includes TV stations, the Internet, magazines, etc., and its business scope is involved in film and television, catering, clothing, etc. And other fields, and extended its tentacles to the whole world, becoming a huge sports entertainment empire.
Silva respects Mr. President from the bottom of his heart, even with admiration. He believes that the wisdom of the president can solve this trouble well.
But to Silva's dismay, David Stein only gave him one sentence in the end, and it was still a Chinese sentence-the person who untied the bell had to tie it.
