Because he represents Adidas. On September 27, Adidas officially announced that basketball player Hu Mingxuan would serve as its spokesperson, only half a year after the Xinjiang cotton incident.

Hu Mingxuan was born in 1998 and currently plays for Guangdong Hongyuan Basketball Club. He has achieved remarkable results during the game. He has been selected into the CBA All-Star lineup many times and was elected as the Best Star Player and the Best Sixth Man. , was named the Most Valuable Player of the Domestic Men’s Basketball Professional League Finals.

However, not long after the official announcement was released, the Internet was almost full of curses. Netizens accused Hu Mingxuan of being spineless and accepting Adidas’ endorsement after the Xinjiang cotton incident.

There are also fans who are complaining about the stars who had their contracts terminated, accusing some netizens of being too double-standard towards athletes.

In March this year, a series of foreign brands, including H&M, publicly boycotted the use of Xinjiang cotton, and Adidas was one of them.

After the incident broke out, many celebrities terminated their contracts with relevant brands, causing a big shock in the entertainment industry. Adidas has dozens of spokespersons, ambassadors, and close friends, including popular celebrities such as Yi Yang Qianxi, Dilraba Dilraba, and Yang Mi.

They did not hesitate to terminate the contract with Adidas. Eason Chan, who has been friends with Adidas for many years, also announced the termination of the cooperation.

At that time, some celebrities were scolded by many netizens because they did not terminate their contracts in time.

Netizens are indeed not very tolerant of this matter. After Yang Qian won the championship in the Tokyo Olympics, some netizens found out that she had posted Nike shoes on her social account, even though she was involved in the Xinjiang cotton incident I bought it before the outbreak, but it still didn't escape the cyber violence, and it was an unreasonable disaster.

Unexpectedly, only half a year has passed before Adidas announced a new spokesperson.

What’s even more ironic is that Hu Mingxuan is a native of Xinjiang, born in Urumqi, Uyghur Autonomous Region. When publicized at the time, the prefix given online was “the 8th national player from Xinjiang”, which seems particularly impressive now. People are embarrassed.
