That is what you said on that interview is everything you\u2019re against, everything you stand for.\u2019 And I stopped for a second, I think I was like \u2018you know what, you\u2019re right.\u2019 You know, people should obviously vaccine yes, you know, save lives \u2026 but people should have freedom to choose if they want to get a vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlayers will not do a [booster] mandate, I believe,\u201d he continued. \u201cBecause players are going to stand up and say \u2018this is against freedom.\u2019 I know some of my really close friends around the league, there\u2019s no way you can make them do anything like that because that\u2019s their body, that\u2019s their choice. \u2026 I know some of the players like the one that I talked to, there\u2019s no way you can make him do anything and that\u2019s his body and you have to respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freedom said that after he criticized NBA star Lebron James for his stance on Communist China, \u201cOne of the teammates of LeBron [James] came up to me and said, \u2018keep doing what you\u2019re doing.

That slave labor that makes you rich. To the owner of Nike \u2014 Phil Knight \u2014 I have a message for you. How about I book plane tickets for us, let\u2019s fly to China together. We can try to visit these slave labor camps and you can see with your own eyes. LeBron James and Michael Jordan, you guys are welcome to come too. Nike must be a participant in this.
