Enes Kanter is a man. Don’t refer to him as she/her. It is insulting to the people who have an internal struggle with who they are. I’m not saying I understand it, I can’t, I haven’t experienced it. But it’s not mine to understand. Why can’t we just let people live their lives
For lack of a better term, Enes Kanter is a BITCH. Yes, I work in sports media and probably should word this in a more politically correct way but this is clown shit. I’m not biting my tongue or mincing my words.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, the sons of African immigrants, helped lead Spain to a World Cup title.
Lamine Yamal is the son of two teenage immigrants.
Nico Williams’ mother crossed the Sahara Desert barefoot while pregnant to escape Ghana. His parents walked for days across the desert without food or water.
Stories like theirs remind us that immigrants don’t weaken nations, they help build them.
Norway beat Israel 5-0 in the World Cup qualifiers and then donated the prize money they won to Gaza and that’s why everyone should be rooting for them.
