Rodman Diplomacy
I don’t know Dennis Rodman. I have seen footage of his life and read some things about him, but I don’t think I’ve ever got an inkling of him as a person. What little I’ve gleaned of him, he seems like a tragic figure. His latest foray in North Korea is much more dangerous than his obviously hedonistic life style previously on display. Whatever expectation of any positivity coming out his jaunts to North Korea vanished long ago. I don’t know much of anything about the ex-players who foolishly followed him to North Korea, but I hope they were well compensated.
Charles D. Smith can say “basketball diplomacy” any many times as he physically can for the rest of his life but things are what they are. The first trip Rodman took to North Korea with the Globe Trotters was basketball diplomacy, this latest venture is pure propaganda to aid a mad man who executed his uncle starves his people and constantly threatens a nuclear attack against us, not to mention his other dastardly deeds against his own people.
I’ll stop here because the disgust that wells up inside me is getting the better of me. Dennis you will return to this country a pariah. You will deserve the scorn heaped upon you by the American people upon your return.
