Nope, the #FreeSato movement is not yet a phenomenon in the Czech lands. Basketball is not that popular here. But even casual Czech sports fans know that their country has a player in the best basketball league on Earth. And with the way Tomas Satoransky has been ballin’ lately, his popularity is growing with each game.
Since the birth of the #FreeSato movement in October 2016, my main man Adam Rubin has been proselytizing/tweeting/speaking on behalf of Tomas Satoransky, and I — as a TAI correspondent monitoring the Czech media coverage of Tomas — have been noticing every mention of #FreeSato in the Czech newspapers and on the Czech sports sites.
