"real" reason Yi Jianlian is balking at playing in Milwaukee
Quote:
Said Ma Jian, a former Chinese basketball star: "Of course, definitely, CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) and Yi’s agents would prefer that he play in cities with large Chinese population. It will benefit both CBA and Yi; it will help promotion. And it will guarantee him better restaurants and perhaps better looking Chinese girlfriend."

Despite perceptions and reports, Yi’s selection by the Milwaukee Bucks placed the young Chinese basketball player in a “vibrant” Chinese community with a history that dates back nearly 200 years.

“We want to make sure people in China and around the world understands there is a sizable Chinese community here, and we want people to realize that Milwaukee is a great town,” said Wenbin Yuan, who was born in China but has lived in the Milwaukee area for the last 17 years. “We want to give the message to Yi that there is a vibrant Chinese community here and that the community here is very passionate about him coming.”

Milwaukee's Chinese Community Wants Yi Jianlian

David Marcus


Brian Wang has been living in Milwaukee for more than two decades, helping run his family's restaurant, Yen Ching. But he's also an NBA fan. Wang wants Chinese Basketball superstar Yi Jianlian to sign with the Bucks.

"As a Chinese American living in Milwaukee, having a guy like Yi come to Milwaukee would be a tremendous thing for our community."

But the issue is community. Yi's representatives want their client to come to a city with a large Chinese population.

"Obviously the Chinese population here is small, so we won't be able to fill the stands. But the excitement and enthusiasm will be equal to any larger city," says Wang.

It is obvious that Yi Jianlian is a big (no pun intended) time racist, and I think he should he stay in China!!!

America has had a too long history of ignorant racism. People like Yi Yianlian shouldn't even be allowed work visas in the U.S..

^^Profiling!^^


I kinda sympathize with Yi after reading that. I mean, who wouldn't want a better looking girlfriend? Although I suppose it is kinda a slap in the face of the Milwaukee Chinese community that they may not have produced a beauty worthy of Yi.

Yi likely will have plenty of young Chinese groupies to chose from on the road when he visits all of these cities with so called big Chinese populations. I highly doubt he is going to have a problem in that category. LOL!!!

Now I am envious of Yi. What seems like an eternity, and I still do not have any groupies.

I say we make a match.com/eHarmony profile for the guy and get the ball rolling. I wonder If he's that worried about finding a good Chinese girl why can't he find one in China?

He doesn't want to pay for expense of bringing her to the States and getting her a visa.
