Yao Getting Chastised For His Words?

The Houston Chronicle reported that the Houston Rockets are shocked at the reaction by fans of what injured Rockets center Yao Ming said after suffering a stress fracture which will keep him on the sidelines for the balance of the NBA season. Yao was asked what would be the bigger disappointment missing the rest of the NBA campaign or missing the 2008 Olympic Games to be held in his homeland China. Naturally Yao said the Olympics would be the greater loss to him personally. He plays yearly in the NBA, the Olympics comes around only once every four years, and an Olympics in your homeland probably takes place once in a lifetime (unless you live in the USA, where I can come up with four pretty quickly) and yet fans are giving him grief, AS an old song by Joe South was titled back in the Sixties (Walk A Mile In My Shoes) you can’t put your values on someone from a different culture. There is no harder working athlete in the NBA than Yao Ming.
