This could actually be a blessing in disguise. This is what I love about Sports, we don't judge athletes based on their skin colour, ethnicity, religion, political views etc. We judge based on their talent on the field, while actors, musicians, comedians etc will always be judged based on what they did when they aren't working.
According to Rodman, Kim don't want a war or a bad relationship with the US, Rodman also said Kim is a nice guy but he will always be judged based on his political views and the bad things he has done just like any other politician.
I thoughts are, its interesting and strange because Rodman is the type of guy who just relax and enjoys himself, now the media are portraying him as some former athlete who's friends with the North Korean president, he even defended him when the media keeps going on about Kim's political views.
Maybe that will improve the North Korea and Us relationship
