Enes is intent on scoring the And-1 against Erdogan 

Post#1 » by oken » Wed May 24, 2017 6:27 am

Enes is so emotional these days that he published his second player's tribune article in a month.
https://www.theplayerstribune.com/enes-kanter-turkey-passport/

He makes sure that he is going to go the extra mile to show everyone the treatment he is receiving from his native country. He is also a reflection of things that are happening currently in Turkey like additional pressure on everything from media to education to normalize things the way the ruling party requires.

He is also trying to make his comments heard in every kind of medium:

I guess he's doing the right thing, mostly for himself in this case.
1. By saying he's having death threats from turkey's gouvernements, odds of Erdogan doing something to him are way lower (it would be a crazy move to kill an ''American'' NBA star).
2. He's defending his cause and saying how dangerous Erdogan is. That's good too but it's not something new...

I was searching for how to takeback and-1 in RealGm and find this thread.
Dont believe in this guy. He used to lick Erdogan's ass. Now he's doing PR work against him.
I voted against Erdogan for my whole life but i hate Kanter's sect leader as much as Erdogan.

*Enes hated by %99.9 percent of his homecountry. (%49 voted against Erdogan in last polls. Seculars also hates him.)
*Enes calls a SECT LEADER as his father. He is that delusional.

Career-wise, personality-wise he's such a disappointment for any Turkish basketball fan.
He wasnt a follower of a religious sect in the past. He was a really promising prospect back then. He used to dominate J.Valanciunas in European u18, u21 kind tournaments.

Refresh the page and hit the and-1 button again.

What's the margin of error on your polling data?

Remember when sports used to be an escape from politics?

Thanks for the tip. I guess i find the right thread about how to remove and-1. :lol:

It wasnt a poll actually.
I acted lazy and I didnt look up for the English meaning of the word. Referendum is the word i was looking for. Same one we use in Turkish.

Erdogan won the referundum.
He won many elections. His party usually gets votes around %45-52.
This referendum was about him so i get that %49 no vote as opposers.

My point was its not only pro-Erdogan guys hating him.
Seculars, Kurds, Socialist or Nationalist. It doesnt matter. No one likes that guy.
He and his "movement" worked with Erdogan for 25-30 years in Turkey. I marched against both of them in Gezi Park protests. I experienced police violence. Those cops were Gulenist like Enes. Enes used to lick Erdogan's ass back in those days.

He's not a honest, trustworthy guy. He doesnt represent any major Erdogan opposing group in Turkey.

Kanter making sure he's becoming untradeable.

I don't think he has any more negative trade value today than he had a month ago. He was never going to be traded without OKC giving up value to move him.

I can confirm that nobody likes Enes and his religious group anymore. Anyone who had ever liked them in the past were Erdogan supporters anyways.
