Why the Frick does ESPN spell Turkey
Bc that's what the nation has officially been since 2022
quote:
In 2022, the Turkish government successfully requested that the United Nations and other international organizations officially use Türkiye instead of the Anglicized Turkey.Key Details:Native Pronunciation: "Türkiye" (pronounced Tur-kee-yeh) is how the country has been spelled and pronounced in Turkish since the republic was founded in 1923.

How does this relate to being a globalist or woke?Posted on 6/26/26 at 9:17 am to Patato Salad
No one is outraged by it. We are making fun of how dumb it is. Are you outraged by people mocking it?

Oh, there are definitely people in this very thread who are outraged by it. Also, why mock it? That’s kind of odd.

Why is it dumb? Bc thats what the country has officially been since its founding in 1923 and they've asked to go by their real name, not the anglicized version

It isn’t. My comment was an attempt at infusing a little humor into the thread. Apparently my attempt failed. Oh well, moving on.

Don’t forget about what THEY did to my boy Pluto…

That's how I felt when Pluto got deplanetized. I mean, Many Very Ernest Men Just Stay Up Nights Praying, right? But now, no Praying. Made me want to go to Prague and kick their asses and take their prostitutes.

OK. When speaking Turk, call it whatever it’s called in that language. But when speaking English, using the anglicized version is simply rational. Granted, rationality is a foreign concept to woke fa ggots.

Woke fa ggots aren’t known for their intelligence. Not surprising that they lack the ability to distinguish ridicule from outrage.

is it that big of a deal that international media outlets, such as ESPN, would display the native spelling of a countrys name during the WORLD cup which is watched by people all over the world? and is it that big of a deal? hilarious this thread was even created

As of December 2023, ESPN is available to approximately 70 million pay television households in the United States—down from its 2011 peak of 100 million households.[7] Through ESPN International, it operates regional channels in Africa, Australia, Latin America, and the Netherlands. In Canada, it owns a 20% interest in The Sports Network (TSN) and its five sister networks. Despite the network's success, criticism of ESPN includes accusations of biased coverage.[8]

It's not super dumb but we're also forgetting this is basically all because Erdogan is a dictator who didn't like it so whatever annoys him we should keep doing.
