“S*x Sells”: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Takes Aim at One Section of Americans Over Recent Christmas Saga

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of the few sports personalities who has always voiced his opinions on certain controversial matters. In fact, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has his own blog page where he has addressed various incidents, whether it is related to sports or entertainment, or even politics. Interestingly, the topic of his latest blog turned out to be based on a particular Christmas drag show that took a controversial turn after the involvement of a government official.

Over the past few months, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has openly slammed several influential figures. Be it calling tech billionaire Elon Musk ‘stupid’ or speaking out in defense of Billy Bush during the Kendall Jenner controversy, the Hall of Famer has raised several eyebrows with his raw opinions.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fires back at Florida Governor

In his latest blog post, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar addressed the ongoing legal battle between Governor Ron DeSantis and the organizers of a particular drag show. On December 28, Plaza Live theatre hosted a Christmas event called ‘A Drag Queen Christmas’. Soon after the event concluded, the state’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation filed a complaint on February 3rd against the organization for alleged exposure of s*xual content in front of kids. DeSantis’ administration is reportedly aiming to cancel the theatre’s liquor license which could gravely affect their business.

Abdul-Jabbar refrained from keeping mum on the matter and called out the Republican Party on his Substack page. The 6x NBA champion claimed that the Republicans’ decision to take legal action had nothing to do with the drag show but rather had a different ‘motive’.

Kareem said, “This is about the process of intimidation and suppression. It’s about maximizing publicity because, as every promoter knows, s*x sells, and they are selling an entire agenda of restrictive laws based on something that seems inconsequential to mainstream America.”

Furthermore, he added that the Republicans’ aim was to ‘destroy’ small organizations with ‘lies and bad logic’ before moving on to do the same to the ‘next bigger group‘.

Kareem defends the organization

To back up his claims against Ron DeSantis’ administration, Kareem listed a number of important pointers on his blog. According to reports, the undercover cops who were stationed at the event witnessed nothing wrong. Additionally, Kareem compared him to a ‘Mafia boss’ for going after the organization without definitive proof.
