A sizeable portion like him. A further portion tolerate him because they got rich off his back, but the longer Turkey’s economy and currency tanks the more they’ll desert him. A good half loving detest him. By most sensible definitions of the word he is a dictator, even if a decent amount of Turks don’t see much wrong with that because they’ve been made retarded by years of fuckery and control of education and the media. Özil and Gündoğan are footballers and accordingly dumb as rocks and are in that weird cultural no man’s land of being German Turks so I think it’s silly to expect too much of them. They were kinda hosed whatever they did, if they snubbed Erdoğan they’d have been savaged back in Turkey and opened up the very real possibility of ramifications for their family there. Just look at Hakan Şükür.

Basically all of the Aegean coast detests him. Istanbul isn’t the hotbed of liberals you would think given the large amount of people who moved there from bumfuck villages underneath his rule and attribute their upward mobility to him and his party.

He's not obliged to but people of think that President is an authoritarian shithead are not obliged to smile and nod saying how nice it is of him to kowtow to said authoritarian shithead.

I do get that Ozil and Gundogan are in a difficult position though since, as the President is an authoritarian shithead, their extended families in Turkey are pretty likely to be retaliated against should they publicly snub the President.

It's really annoying that the President is an authoritarian shithead. It would have been better if he had not been elected with a significant margin in an election where the opposition was prosecuted and undermined, nearly all independent media had been shuttered, and the full state propaganda machine was running full blast. It looks like they didn't even need to resort to the ballot stuffing they had to in the referendum.

Wrong! Most of the Turkish diaspora came from lovely underdeveloped towns and villages and might have never been to Istanbul in their lives. They’re ostracised in their new homes for not fitting in and they like the strongman image Erdoğan projects, which they conflate with Turkey as a whole. They generally skew very socially conservative and usually vote 65% + for him.

As someone who's family comes from (and partially remains in) a country with an authoritarian regime (Syria), he didn't have any options. Turkey's not Syria, but there would still be consequences, as other posters have said.

Not to derail the thread with politics, but people are also still allowed to like someone who's criticized. There are shades of grey. Turkey had elections, and a majority/plurality re-elected Erdogan. Also, look at the athletes who've been knighted in England, does their knighthood imply that they approve of the English government's actions in Ireland?

It isnt that simple. Politics has long had its fingers in sport. The Olympics is a shining example like in 1968 or 1984. Incidentally 1984 is when America helped ruin the Olympics for future generations via marketing strategies.

Fan and fandom is a complicated subject but really boils down to a few main things: emotional stimuli and a feeling of belonging. Players have not been just players for years. They are icons and symbols laden with values representative of their clubs with little regard to their own personal values and opinions.

We, the viewers, use cognitive dissonance to essentially forget that these are people with varied experiences. We mostly arent interested in lives off the pitch and react vehemently to anything that goes against the hegemonic system thats already in place. Players get upset and because sport is an event that isnt bound by language and culture, this creates a juxtaposition against hegemonic ideals.

Remember, this type of sports journalism hasnt been around very long and both athlete and fans alike need to understand the communication between both parties. Sports is now interactive. We the fans help guide franchise decisions across the entire spectrum of sports. We can interact with athletes in a digital space and probably dont realize the full extent of someone shouting racist things at you online because of a decision you made.
