The Canadian government just voted unanimously [Monday] to try and get the Olympics moved to another venue for next year. And that's all I'm asking. I'm not saying we prevent the athletes from competing, i want them to compete, but I don't want them to compete in a country that's engaged in genocide. It's absolutely the wrong signal to send to people around the world. And I think it's high time we stand up to China and its tactics and say enough is enough. And I'm asking the president to lead.

It is an in your face response to those Western nations, including the U.S., who have called this Chinese treatment of that group genocide and diplomatically boycotted these games. There will be much discussion about this.

ESPN is so proud of them that they're sharing the clip themselves with all of their audience, it's next level stupidity, first of all, to compare Chinese genocide with American voting rights ID laws. But it's also making me wonder, with all that Disney has connection-wise with China, are they trying to curry favor with China by spreading Chinese talking points propaganda to the American sporting fan? It just blows my mind.

If you're a left-winger, which most ESPN employees are, the idea of comparing Chinese genocide to American controversial political issues seems like an equivalent position.
