Given the way he openly talks about the Turkish leader this could get scary

This could get ugly. As a Jazz fan I've boo'd him. But I feel terrible for this

Maybe TNT has become cold. He doesn't feel bad

Is it because you're not familiar with the scenario or do you just not care?

Well he is no foreign policy expert but Kanter is pretty classless

So he was kicked out of Romania and back to Turkey? How is this news in America?

He plays offense for one of the local teams here

It's about a local sports player on what is largely a local sports board.

How is he a local sports player? He hasn't been on a local team for some time. Was he trying to come back to America?

Article from ESPN today says he has been disowned by his family for his beliefs

Good on Kanter for standing up for what he believes even when he is affected negatively. That takes real courage.

He wasn't in Turkey, but he should have known that he could get deported
