Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is once again traveling to North Korea to meet with his friend Kim-Jong un and help coach the North Korean National Basketball Team. Rodman's visit comes less than a week after North Korea announced the arrest, trial, conviction and execution of Kim-Jong un's uncle Jang-Song theak.
Rodman was asked about the current situation in North Korea:
Rodman told reporters at Beijing airport that he was not going to talk about politics or human rights, but he expected to meet Kim and arrange an international tournament in Pyongyang on 8 January to mark the leader's birthday.
Rodman told Reuters: "It has nothing to do with me. I mean, whatever his uncle has done, and whoever's done anything in North Korea, I have no control over that. I mean, these things have been going on for years and years and years. I'm just going over there to do a basketball game and have some fun."
He is friends with the leader of one of the most repressive governments in the world and its continuous abuse of its citizens human rights has nothing to do with him. Rodman is obviously living in some kind of dream world of his own construct what else could explain his complete denial of the situation in that country.
Rodman said it was not his place to talk about such issues. "People have been saying these things here and there. It doesn't really matter to me. I'm not a politician. I'm not an ambassador," he said.
Your certainly not an ambassador or a politician. You are however a human being and shouldn't be providing propaganda for the North Korean government and cover for its human rights abuses.
