Petition Is Started to Remove Dennis Rodman from the Hall of Fame

Dennis Rodman took part in national festivities and met with Kim Jong Un and his statesmen on what was his fifth trip to North Korea this past week, and it may end up costing him if one particular U.S. human rights group gets its way.
A Change.org petition circulated by The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation seeks to have Rodman expelled from the NBA's Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame over his relationship with the reclusive regime. “Rodman has long been known for his eccentricities, but this has gone too far,” the petition reads. “As a professional athlete and an NBA Hall of Fame member, Rodman is called to be a role model and set an example for the next generation. Individuals that praise murderers have no place being idolized by America’s youth or in any Hall of Fame in the United States.”
VOCMF's call for Rodman's name to be removed from where it stands among the game's greats comes days after Ohio native Otto Warmbier was returned to the U.S. after serving 17 months in a North Korean prison for reportedly swiping a propaganda banner from the walls of a hotel lobby. Warmbier would arrive back in the States in a vegetative state, and on June 19 he died of what doctors speculate could have been a blood clot, pneumonia, sepsis or kidney failure.
Warmbier's family has declined an autopsy to investigate the cause of his death.
