"You literally contribute to genocide, you freaking hypocrite" - Enes Freedom calls out Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai for alleged support for Uyghur genocide

Former NBA player turned activist Enes Freedom has called out Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai for allegedly supporting the Uyghur genocide in China. Freedom called Tsai a hypocrite after he called out his star guard Kyrie Irving for helping promote an antisemitic film on social media.

Replying to Tsai's post about Irving on Twitter, Freedom praised the Nets owner for calling out his player. However, he also called Tsai a hypocrite because of his support for China's alleged human rights violations against the Uyghur people.

"I applaud you for condemning Kyrie Irving after multiple antisemitic incidents," Freedom wrote. "It's time to condemn yourself for supporting the millions of Muslims being slaughtered in China. You literally contribute to genocide, you freaking hypocrite Joe Tsai. You're far worse than Kyrie."

Enes Freedom has been out of the NBA since he was released by the Houston Rockets midway through last season. Freedom has become an activist and has called out the league, Nike and many NBA superstars such as Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

The 30-year-old center even believes that the league is blackballing him as a favor to China. The NBA has a billion dollar deal with the Asian nation to broadcast the games. Freedom has repeatedly called out China for their alleged human rights violations against the Uyghur people.

How is Joe Tsai linked to the alleged Uyghur genocide?

Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai.

Joe Tsai is not only the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, but also the co-founder and executive vice chairman of the Chinese multinational technology company Alibaba.

Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru of ESPN reported earlier this year that Tsai was allegedly financially supporting the "cultural genocide" of Uyghur Muslims in China. There's also been no record of Tsai condemning what the Chinese government is doing in the province of Xinjiang.

It's no secret that Tsai is a huge supporter of China. He even called out Daryl Morey for supporting the Hong Kong protests in 2019. NBA commissioner Adam Silver also called Tsai an invaluable asset for the league and its ties to China's multi-billion dollar market.

What's next for Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets?

It has been a tumultuous time for the Brooklyn Nets since the offseason. Kevin Durant requested to be traded, but Joe Tsai and the Nets front office called his bluff. Kyrie Irving can't seem to focus on basketball, while Ben Simmons is struggling to start his career in Brooklyn.

The Nets are looking to move past Irving's promotion of an antisemitic film and improve their terrible start to the season. They have parted ways with coach Steve Nash and are reportedly trying to get the suspended Ime Udoka to replace him.

Udoka might be a great coach, but the controversy surrounding his suspension by the Boston Celtics could further bring more questions than answers. The Nets have a talented roster led by Durant and Irving. They were brought together to win a championship, but only had one playoff series win to show for.
