I love how idiots hating on Kanter bring up the Turkish government's horrible human rights record as if that's somehow a "Gotcha!" moment.

Also please define the modern meaning of slave labor for me.

From what I know it means making people do hard ass fucking physical work for low ass pay these days.

I thought of making a joke about his basketball talent level (e.g. Celtics fans: If only!) but the man averaged 6 offensive boards per 36 minutes last season.

they're accused of using forced labor.

even if they get paid, if they have no choice, it's still slavery.

Oh hey, it looks like Kanter is a huge Trump supporter. Hes best buddies with Jared Kushner, Marco Rubio, and John Bolton.

Strange, it's a bit hypocritical of him not to call out the people in these photo. They're responsible for an untold amount of human rights violations.

Yeah its a shame because he probably could have had an All-Star selection or two if he was even average on that end.

They legit have N. Koreans sent over to work on their "Olympic" stadiums. N. Korea takes most/all of the wages. The rest is taken as "rent" or "room and board".

At the end of the contract, they're shipped back to N. Korea but some have escaped and told their story.

Russia has also done the same.

He's a critic of Turkey's fascist regime. Turkey tried to have him abducted at an Indonesian basketball camp but he escaped. His father - an MD - was jailed as a political prisoner by Turkey. He has spoken out against the abuse of minorities in Turkey.

Not sure how and why he met with Trump officials. Perhaps he was lobbying for his cause. He's been serious about this a while. When in America, you lobby the government in place. Trumpanzees were in place when he began lobbying for this cause.

It is so telling that the wumao are trying to smear a guy criticizing genocide and slave labor and how organized and quickly the photos with Trump officials are being shared. Who has Kanter-Bolton photos readily on hand?

Immaterial in any event to the fact that on the issue of China, slave labor and genocide, Kanter is correct on this issue.

There's nothing to be confused about. Kanter is your typical Trump praising neoconservative. He's just repeating Trump's "CHINA BAD!" mantra.

Nope. The photo of him with Jared Kushner was from last month, and the photo of him with John Bolton is from this past July. This didn't happen during the Trump administration.

"Thank you for your support and friendship" he says of John Bolton, a war criminal responsible for mass death and destruction in the Middle East. I find your support of Kanter appalling at best and sickening at worst.

Disagreement with him on Kushner and Bolton. Assuming you are being truthful.

What you whataboutists don't seem to understand is that the correctness of the argument is more important than any apparent "tu quo que" "hypocrisy" or otherwise flaws of the presenter in a discussion. No discussant is perfect. insisting upon perfection disqualifies all. Legit 101 dismissal of argumentation, High school shit.

The argument is about the argument. How good or bad Kanter is by political association is secondary.

On topic, for the subject at hand, he is correct.

Critique his argument, not his (apparent) affiliations.

Plus he's a huge Trump Supporter? The only time I've heard him even speak about or to Trump was to talk about Turkey's human rights violations.

He was happy when Biden won the election.

why didn't he speak out about Nike's terrible labor conditions in other countries? why does he only care because it's affecting muslims? I mean he's right, Nike and China are in the wrong - but where's the concern for all the terrible sweatshops in Thailand, Cambodia, Taiwan, India, the rest of China?

A person's character is revealed by his actions, not his words.

He is praising a warmongering mass murderer while claiming to be supportive of human rights. His words are hollow, insincere, and most likely a lie.

Kanter's actions have been the same across two administrations. He's actually been a bit bolder under Biden. There is effectively - if not statutorily - a two party system in the U.S. unlike China's one party rule. He made the same arguments to the Trumpanzees that he is making now.

If anyone is being disingenuous (I will avoid the word "lie") about praising mass murder, based upon your posting history, I suggest a look in the mirror.

It's shocking that you continue to ruthlessly defend a man who praises the likes of Jared Kushner and John Bolton, the architect of the Iraq war.

The Iraq war was an illegal invasion that resulted in the deaths of over a million Iraqis. Instead of condemning this horrible act of oppression, Kanter chooses to praise and befriend the people responsible.

I'm genuinely beginning to suspect that you are a neoconservative yourself. Are you?
