已 经停播1周,同时也没有任何官方说法——按照常理推断,不是技术问题,不是合同纠纷——应该是敏感的因素。据刚看到的消息,一个很有可能的原因是一众 nba球员正在发起联合抵制北京奥运的活动(ESPN的评述报道)。根据这个新闻事件差不多就在10天,发起者之一是 ClevelandCavaliers(克利夫兰骑士队)的LeBrown James(勒布朗詹姆斯),另一个是LA Lakers(洛杉矶湖人队)的KobeBryant(科比布赖恩特),原因?抗议
中国政府对于达尔富尔危机关注不够——与斯皮尔伯格请辞奥运会导演的原因相同。詹姆斯在访问中呼吁关注苏丹达尔富尔,并且指责
中国政府需要为 40万被屠杀的达尔富尔难民负责;科比还在一段
视频中呼吁大家持续关注达尔富尔危机,为一个名为Aid StillRequired的组织筹款。

实际上詹姆斯前队友目前效力湖人队的Newble(埃尔纽伯)曾经在去年写过一封公开信给中国政府,作为苏丹裔的他呼吁中国政府对达尔富尔危机给与足 够干预否则中国并没有足够的国际信誉来举办奥运会,当时他筹集到多位球员的签名,可能出于商业利益考虑,并没有知名球星共同签名(共同署名的
包括Ira Newble, Shannon Brown, Daniel Gibson, Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes,Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Dwayne Jones, Donyell Marshall, Sasha Pavlovic,Scot Pollard, Eric Snow, AndersonVarejao)。不过事隔一年,在2个月临近奥运开幕的时候,多名nba球星站出来表示立场,并且受到评论界(TNT的巴克利)以及 NBA总裁大卫斯特恩的赞扬。除了科比和詹姆斯,还有一向积极社区活动的太阳队的纳什,新奥尔良的克利斯保罗等人。没有直接呼吁抵制北京奥运,不过却完全 把责任推给中国,潜台词就是中国并不配举办奥运(和IraNewble的公开信表达一个意思)。我想这就是为什么即使NBA如此善意在分区决赛第一场播放 姚明的赈灾广告,但还是突然封杀掉了nba转播,估计已经引起了中国政府强烈不满并且命令cctv直接无理由封杀。
