In reaction to the disappearance of Chinese tennis star, Peng Shuai, NBA star Enes Kanter has written an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal calling for athletes to speak out and for the IOC to move the 2022 Winter Olympics out of China.

Help make a difference by sharing Kanter's article. Here are some quotes:

"Tennis champion Peng Shuai took to social media earlier this month to accuse a former top-ranking official in the Chinese Communist Party of sexually assaulting her. Within 30 minutes the post was scrubbed from the internet in China. She disappeared and no one has heard directly from her since."

"The sports community must wake up—and speak up. We need to realize that the authoritarian Chinese government isn't our friend. The Communist Party is a brutal dictatorship that has weaponized economic power to achieve ideological and political compliance."

"We must take a firm stance against the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. While the Women's Tennis Association has voiced concern for Ms. Peng, the International Olympic Committee has shockingly echoed Chinese state media's rhetoric about her case. This comes as no surprise, as the IOC has ignored Beijing's abuses for years. As athletes concerned about human rights and justice, we must pressure the IOC to move the games. All the gold medals in the world aren't worth selling your values and your principles to the Chinese Communist Party.

I have learned firsthand how precious freedom is. It must be defended at all costs. Together, we can help move the needle in the right direction.

Wake up and speak up. Change is coming, and no one can stop it. They can't silence us all."
