He may be so callous that he doesn\u2019t care about genocide, but the American people do. The NBA has investigated owners and forced a sale after outrageous comments before, and it even moved the All-Star game to protest a North Carolina law saying boys and girls shouldn\u2019t use the same bathroom. The league will prove itself greedy, spineless, and hypocritical if it doesn\u2019t force Palihapitiya to sell his interest in the Warriors.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:50:39Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-nba-should-force-warriors-palihapitiya-to-sell"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7489481251686811, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
