The National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Department of
Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi announced Tuesday that the Atlanta Hawks and
Milwaukee Bucks will play two preseason games at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in
Abu Dhabi on Thursday, Oct. 6 and Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022.
The NBA signed a deal with Abu Dhabi’s tourism officials last year
to play preseason games in the Arabian Gulf.
“Abu Dhabi is a vibrant multicultural hub with a demonstrated
track record of hosting world-class sporting events,” said NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum.**
Abu Dhabi is a city in the United Arab Emirates where
homosexuality is criminalized and is punishable by death. All
same-sex sexual acts are banned and criminalized in the United Arab Emirates.
What Tatum
did not say, on the record, “And they got more money than you can believe.”
Supporting authoritarian
regimes is a tradition with the NBA.
The NBA backs Red China in CCP imprisonment and “re-education” of Muslim Uyghurs – apparently Islam does not matter past a pay check to NBA Muslims. The NBA has contracts of a bunch of millions of dollars to China manufacturing of official NBA shoes, shirts, shorts and etc., and is not about to do anything that might threaten those contracts.
