前NBA球员大卫韦斯特:别上反中阴谋的当
4.完整新闻内文:
Longtime NBA star David West is accusing a group of lawmakers of using NBA
players as pawns in a propaganda campaign targeting China.
征战球场多年的NBA球星大卫韦斯特(David West)指控,有一群议员正在利用NBA球员作
为棋子,好针对中国发动宣传战。
Conservative senators including Josh Hawley, Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton have
publicly called out the league since its high-profile crackup with China over
a pro-Hong Kong tweet posted last year by Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey.
当休斯顿火箭队总管达瑞尔莫雷(Daryl Morey)去年写了一则支持香港的推特之后,NBA
和中国之间就出现了裂痕,而Josh Hawley、Marco Rubio、Tom Cotton等保守派议员也为
此指责NBA。
Those senators and other China hardliners say the league caved when it should
have supported Morey's free speech.
这些议员和其他强硬反中派表示,NBA应该力挺莫雷的言论自由,而非处处退让。
But West says he reached out to some NBA players to caution them that those
urging them to support Morey might have motives other than the professed
liberation of Hong Kong protesters.
但大卫韦斯特表示,他曾向一些NBA球员警告,那些催促他们力挺莫雷的人,其目的可能
不像表面上所说的一样,只是为了支持香港抗争者而已。
"When Daryl Morey, he was with the Houston Rockets, he made comments about
Hong Kong earlier in the year. ... I got on the phone with a bunch of NBA
guys, and I was like 'Don't let them pull you into this bullshit, because
it's the Iraq war-, weapons of mass destruction-type propaganda again," West
recently told Danny Haiphong of Black Agenda Report.
“当休斯顿火箭队总管达瑞尔莫雷今年稍早谈到香港议题时,我跟一群NBA球员通过电话
,并说:‘千万不要让他们把你拖进这趟浑水里,因为这又是一次伊拉克战争大规模杀伤
型武器式的政治宣传活动。’”
The issue is more complicated than how it's presented in US media, West
explained.
大卫韦斯特解释道,这个议题远比美国媒体所报导的来得更加错综复杂。
