Yao Ming is now trying his hand as a political advisor

I'm enjoying watching Yao's maturation into a meaningful and purposeful life after basketball.  He's truely a humanitarian who wants to stand for something.  Be it speaking out against consuming Shark Fin soup or ensuring the survival of Pandas.... he's doing things!  Keep it going Yao!  You're a great example of what we'd like to see a lot of our former athletes become!
