Hello everyone!
Basketball star Jeremy Lin has been fined by the Chinese Basketball Association for criticizing the league’s COVID-19 facilities.
Lin, who currently plays for the Guangzhou Loong Lions in the Chinese Basketball Association, was fined 10,000 Chinese Yuan, or $1,400, for “inappropriate remarks about quarantine hotel-related facilities.” The athlete posted a now-deleted video remarking, “Can you believe this is a weight room? What kind of garbage is this?”
His comments came as protests rage in China over their restrictive “zero-COVID” lockdown policies. China has deployed police to quell the protests and have worked to prevent and scrub any social media photos and videos of the protests.
