They are a bit sophomoric.
Im not saying he should not intellectualize his political and humanitarian views.
People, his parents cannot just immigrate here. Enes is not a US citizen and They won't just let them leave.
Its suspected his parents have to disown him in order to not be arrested or tortured.
I've no problem with people taunting and mocking ego maniac dictators and despots - it can be very powerful in a way logic cannot be
I don't have a dog in that fight. But if you got family stuck inside it matters. If you got windows that open it matters. you think dudes like Erdgogan don't have resources to stage an "accident" for Kanter??
I think Nalod is right here, Enes is pushing the envelope when he should be thinking about the safety of his family. If you want to take on risks for yourself that's one thing,but to put others (especially your own family) in harm's way so you can run your mouth and accomplish nothing is pretty stupid. I love this kid his heart and his obvious commitment to the Knicks, but he needs to tone it down on the political front for his family's sake.
