Former NBA player turned activist Enes Freedom has called out Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai for allegedly supporting the Uyghur genocide in China. Freedom called Tsai a hypocrite after he called out his star guard Kyrie Irving for helping promote an antisemitic film on social media.
Replying to Tsai's post about Irving on Twitter, Freedom praised the Nets owner for calling out his player. However, he also called Tsai a hypocrite because of his support for China's alleged human rights violations against the Uyghur people.
"I applaud you for condemning Kyrie Irving after multiple antisemitic incidents," Freedom wrote. "It's time to condemn yourself for supporting the millions of Muslims being slaughtered in China. You literally contribute to genocide, you freaking hypocrite Joe Tsai. You're far worse than Kyrie."
Enes Freedom has been out of the NBA since he was released by the Houston Rockets midway through last season. Freedom has become an activist and has called out the league, Nike and many NBA superstars such as Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
The 30-year-old center even believes that the league is blackballing him as a favor to China. The NBA has a billion dollar deal with the Asian nation to broadcast the games. Freedom has repeatedly called out China for their alleged human rights violations against the Uyghur people.
I applaud you for condemning @KyrieIrving after multiple antisemitic incidents.
It’s time to condemn yourself for supporting the millions of Muslims being slaughtered in #China
You literally contribute to genocide,you freaking hypocrite @joetsai1999
I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation. I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is hurtful to all of us, and as a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion.
How is Joe Tsai linked to the alleged Uyghur genocide?Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai. Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai.
Joe Tsai is not only the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, but also the co-founder and executive vice chairman of the Chinese multinational technology company Alibaba.
Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru of ESPN reported earlier this year that Tsai was allegedly financially supporting the "cultural genocide" of Uyghur Muslims in China. There's also been no record of Tsai condemning what the Chinese government is doing in the province of Xinjiang.
It's no secret that Tsai is a huge supporter of China. He even called out Daryl Morey for supporting the Hong Kong protests in 2019. NBA commissioner Adam Silver also called Tsai an invaluable asset for the league and its ties to China's multi-billion dollar market.
The NBA and all the black players are owned by China their master with the money
Just more slavery but it pays much better.
Kyrie Irving was called out for not taking the jab and the anti-Semite charge was just a club to beat him with.
Joe Tsai is scum.
NBA sleaze.
Self-hating Taiwanese.
True, but he handed them the club. He was stupid and ignorant and he has no one else to blame but himself for that.
Dittos slavery. If the enslavers aren’t white, they figure it’s alright.
He’s not Taiwanese, but your point is good. He uses his Chicom Hong Kong passport. He deserves contempt.
His wife is born in Kansas.
She works to let criminals out of prison.
Exactly. How is linking to an Amazon video Anti-Semitic but creating, hosting, and distributing the video not? Where is the Semitic outrage against Jeff Bezos for the video?
My, my. Who cares. Our soutern border has become non existent and 5M wetbacks have strolled in complaining that the quality of food and diapers at reception stations isinferior. Why should Americans care what happens to the Uigeboogies or the Ukuleles?
It was never existed. Under Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, etc.
So you are okay the U.S. institutions like the NBA get money from people in the United States and then give their complete obedience to a foreign country?
He literally wished his own grandparents had been murdered, because they are evil.
I don’t care what the NBA does and I surely don’t care about what goes on on the sovereign territory of China. Texas, now that is different. We are not and should not wish to be the world’s hall monitor. Sh@t will happen, it has since we climbed out of the muck, so sad , to bad.
Yet, your simping for the people who are contributing to that border.
Lenin said capitalists will sell us the rope which we will use to hang them. I guess you identify with that. You don't even care if the U.S. becomes a territory of China.
I don’t care, it is not our country. Let them sort it out or be sorted out. I assure you the world will not stop rotating if there are no Ugieboogies left. Sorry not our monkeys or circus. If you love these people so much send your money, walk around with a sign in front of the nearest Cicom counsulate but it is on you. The rest of us have more important things to do, like trimming our toenails.
Let’s not forget half of all the NBA owners are of the Jewish faith along with the current commissioner and former commissioner.
Twitter is a sewer.
Yes. I agree with you.
But he’s not Taiwanese.
