Deni Avdija being used to sanitize the Zionist occupying force shows once again how sports get weaponized as statecraft. They keep saying it’s “just basketball” while using athletes to depoliticize something that’s deeply political.

Criticizing Deni Avdija is not in any way “racism.”
That is nothing but a smear meant to shield an athlete who openly represents a state and military committing genocide. Nobody owes silence to a public figure who boosts apartheid propaganda.
That’s called accountability, not racism.
