Enes Kanter (NBA Star) Rips Nike For Being ‘Silent’ On China, Tells The Company To ‘Stop The Modern Day SLAVERY'
Daily Caller ^ | Oct 25 | DAVID HOOKSTEAD

Enes Kanter torched China and Nike in a new Twitter video.

The Boston Celtics player has been an outspoken critic of the Chinese dictatorship, and his latest video took direct aim at the nation’s cozy relationship with Nike.

Kanter said the following in part in a video tweeted Monday afternoon:

When it comes to China, Nike remains silent. You do not address police brutality in China. You do not speak about discrimination about the LGBTQ community. You do not say a word about the oppression of minorities in China. You are scared to speak up. Who makes your shoes in China? Do you even know? There are so many forced labor factories in China. For instance, Uyghur forced labor. A modern day slavery, and it’s happening right now in China.

I really hope this is a beginning. When I was in college, I wanted freedom and liberty.

Probably is, but nice to see a lefty attacking another country, especially one as evil as China.

Nike is no different than the corporations who traded with Nazi Germany. Apple and Google are no different either.

Why speak out? Slavery is their bread and butter.
