BTW, isn't Kanter the idiot who thought Turkey government was going to assassin him?

Uyghurs are going through another holocaust and the nba is still doing business with China. It's all about $ and China is basically running things now unfortunately.

NBA promotes leftism. Left wing politics are the most suitable to countries like china or russia. Biden just proved that by lifting off Nord Stream sanctions recently, the biggest gift russians got since Obama. Now back to chinese, they know a big portion of US are not watching NBA that much, therefore they must entertain the international audience. China can do whatever they want, threaten to shut down the broadcast and whatever, over the smallest tweet or video that criticizes them. NBA has nowhere to go because they need their money. No other major sports league depends on chinese money that much.

That guy can't stop talking and making statements. Can't he just play basketball? Or is he looking for attention?

I really wish someone like Giannis or Luka would do something similar, then I would like to see China's reaction.
I hope it won't mean Kanter's career is over.

Let's see what NBA will do. You cannot have double standards. On one hand you promote social justice and BLM but how about foreign players protesting similar issues in China (actually what is happening in China is probably worse than what's happening here).

Probably?!?!

Perhaps Enes should take a look at Turkeys wonderful regime and pristine treatment of not only its own citizens but the substantial Kurdish population in southeast Turkey.

Even a free summer basketball camp can turn into a geopolitical incident when Enes Kanter is involved.

Like this July, when the NBA player scheduled a camp at the Islamic Center of Long Island. That is, Kanter said, until the Turkish Consulate in New York threatened the mosque if it hosted Kanter’s clinic.

Why the Turkish government would care even a little bit about a kids’ basketball camp in the New York suburbs has everything to do with Kanter’s relentless criticism of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

It's ridiculously ignorant to write this kind of stuff, you should try to invest 10 seconds in a Google search rather than making a fool of yourself the way you just did.

Let a player or team owner declare opposition to abortion and watch how many deals and endorsements get shut down by our freedom-loving American corporations.

I agree. This stance on pro-abortion by many celebrities, companies, etc just shows to me how twisted the world is nowadays.

Just a recent example, the guy who developed the "Maneater" videogame. The developer community took a **** on him. Just disgusting.

As Ronald Reagan once said, "'I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born".

The abortion thing is a right wing red herring here. It has nothing to do with Kanter or china, it is a far right snowflake playing victim. It has to do with freedom and bodily autonomy. Being pro choice isn't pro abortion, in fact, it's shown that access to safe legal abortions and birth control reduces abortion #s. You are spewing fake propaganda from the far right. Either women are free or they are not. You prefer a religion to control women and that's sad. What Texas did was wrong and it is sickening how religious clowns want to run everyone else's life.

The Turkish government literally put a warrant out for him. He had to miss some games as a result.

This is a complete load of **** and you know it. Nobody was friendlier to Putin than Trump. Keep whining about liberals & progressives and dishonestly comparing them to communists, when they are the only ones actually trying to improve this GARBAGE country and move forward, while conservatives live 50+ years in the past. LOL @ leftism. Grow up with your pretentious whining.

Giannis and Luka won’t do those bs cause they are not losers seeking for attention.
I hope Kanter’s career is over, if it’s not already over.
