DALLAS -- Mavericks center Andrew Bogut considers it laughable that hes been associated with the political beliefs of the so-called alt-right as a result of his Twitter activity. Steve Yzerman Jersey .Bogut has recently followed some accounts related to the alt-right, a white nationalism movement that gained prominence in the 2016 election, though he points out that he also follows accounts tied to the political left.The outspoken Australian received backlash on social media after a Nov. 24 tweet about Pizzagate, a hoax conspiracy theory that claimed to tie Hillary Clinton to a child-sex ring run out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria, a story that began spreading across social media before the election.No ones ever asked my political views. Theyre far from alt-right, and theyre far from crazy left, Bogut told ESPN. I have things from both parties that I like, and I have things from both parties that I hate. Look, yeah, the Pizzagate stuff [was] pretty stupid. My tweet said, If 1 percent of this is true, thats sick. Thats it.Everybody is entitled to their opinion of what they think. Im not going to even defend that. I dont care what people label me. I think once you get defensive and start saying, Im not this and Im not that, whats the point of it?According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the alt-right is a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that white identity is being threatened by multicultural forces using political correctness to undermine white civilization. The movement is tied to white supremacists and neo-Nazis.Bogut understands that there are connotations of racism that come along with being associated with the alt-right, which could be problematic in a league that consists primarily of black players. It has been a subject of discussion among opposing teammates in the visitors locker room at the AmericanAirlines Center at least once this year, with players making the accusations within earshot of media but declining to discuss the issue on the record.However, Bogut said he is not bothered by such accusations.If I really was that and I was trying to hide it, it would bother me, Bogut said. Thats why I dont give a s---. You can be labeled a sexist, you can be labeled a misogynist, you can be labeled anti-this and anti-that. Its someones opinion. You have every right in this world to label me with what you want to label me. I really dont care. Im not going to try to make you lose your job. Thats, I think, the beauty of living in Western civilization and America or Australia -- you have the freedom to say what you want.Im not going to go out and defend it, because its laughable. Ive never heard of someone thats accepted by the alt-right thats not born in America, period.Bogut, who frequently lobbies against political correctness and acknowledges that he enjoys trolling on Twitter to provoke reactions from people, chuckled when he pointed out that the alt-right would not accept him as part of their group because hes an immigrant.Im a non-American thats here on a work visa thats [supposedly] pro-America. Does that add up to you? Bogut said. I love America. Its a great place. Its given me an opportunity to earn a [lot] of money to do something I love, but does it make sense that an immigrant on a work visa would be wanting to be pro-alt-right? Thats what Im asking. Do you think that alt-right would accept me here? Thats my whole point with how stupid that this thing is.On Twitter, Ive been labeled as alt-right because Ive had some tweets about politics. If you look back, I had some shots at Donald Trump in February. I made a joke about being in Oklahoma City the same time he was and saying Im going to have my green card and passport with me at all times just in case. Then fast-forward seven months later -- I make jokes about Hillary and all of the sudden, its like, Hes pro-Donald Trump! Do your research. Every narrative that fits on social media, you can push. Thats why Im not worried about it.Bogut said he rejects some alt-right ideologies in part because he can relate to the struggles of minorities in America based on his experiences growing up as the son of Croatian-born parents in Australia.My family faced the same things that a lot of people here are, Bogut said. They didnt speak English, worked in factories, were told to go back where they came from for 15, 20 years straight. I heard the same s--- in school because my last name wasnt a Jones or a Smith, which is a [common] Australian. But no one knows that. No one asks that. White Red Wings Jerseys .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. Bob Probert Jersey . Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the Carolina Hurricanes, announced Wednesday that the team would assign Swedish forward Elias Lindholm to his nations team for the upcoming tournament. http://www.authenticredwingsshopnhl.com/ted-lindsay-jersey/ . Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov. 12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19. The Flyers have claimed three straight and four of the last five encounters with the Sens overall and Philly has won two in a row and three of its past four tests in Canadas capital city. It was a big weekend for the teams from the PRO12 in the European Champions Cup with four of the six teams involved winning their matches, while Saracens and Wasps recorded big wins.But who made our Lions team of the week?BACKS15. Simon Zebo (Munster)The Munster fullback was involved in much of the good work during his sides mauling of Leicester. Countered well, led the kick chase and scored a lovely try linking up with Conor Murray.14. Keelan Giles (Ospreys)This kid has serious pace. The 18 year old Ospreys winger scored two tries against Grenoble, one of which from 60 metres out where he burned several defenders to score. 11 tries from seven games.13. Luke Marshall (Ulster)Two crucial tries for Ulster as they got a big win over Clermont. Ran a beautiful line on the first try to open the scoring. Dealt with the threat of the dangerous Wesley Fofana.12. Garry Ringrose (Leinster)The young Ireland centre looks right at home as Leinster continue to build from strength to strength. Ringrose ran 49 metres from his 12 carries and scored the opening try against Northampton.11. Sean Maitland (Saracens)Prospered against a weak Sale outfit. A brace of tries as Saracens routed Sharks. Second finish was a lovely in and out to make his opposite number look like he wasnt there.10. Finn Russell (Glasgow)Pulled the strings in one of Glasgows biggest wins in Europe. 13 points off the boot and a try assist, not a bad day out especially when youre playing opposite Dan Carter.9. Conor Murray (Munster)It was touted as a big match up as the Ireland scrum-half went up against Englands Ben Youngs, but there was no doubt who had the better match as Munster thrashed Leicester. Box kicking and passing was superb, and his cheeky pass to find Simon Zebo to score was magic.FORWARDS1. Jack McGrath (Leinster)Ireland have built some serious depth in the front row department. The Leinster loosehead along with his mate Tadhg Furlong put in a big sshift against a Northampton side who pride themselves on their performance at the set-piece. Justin Abdelkader Jersey. 2. Rory Best (Ulster)Captained Ulster brilliantly to an impressive win over Clermont. 10 lineout wins from as many throws, and did his core jobs well in a weekend where Dylan Hartleys stocks plummeted as a swinging arm saw him red carded and facing suspension.3. Tadhg Furlong (Leinster)A rare sight seeing a tighthead prop awarded man of the match in the Champions Cup but it was thoroughly deserved for the Ireland international. Bossed the scrum, and worked hard along the field, as he said in his post-match interview he certainly met Northampton horn to horn.4. Maro Itoje (Saracens)Super outing from Maro who continues to grow after missing the autumn internationals through injury. Was all over Sales lineout with four steals, while he also beat four defenders with ball in hand.5. Joe Launchbury (Wasps)Couldve easily been awarded man of the match as Wasps beat Connacht. Came to the fore when it mattered most with two big turnovers at the ruck as Connacht looked dangerous, and scored his sides bonus-point try as he lumbered through from 20 metres out.6. CJ Stander (Munster)Monstrous game. Made a big 30-metre run early on which set the tone for Munster. Stander finished with 67 running metres from 20 carries, 10 tackles and four turnovers. How South Africa let him go is baffling.7. Sam Warburton (Cardiff)Led Cardiff well in the big upset result in the Challenge Cup as the Blues beat in-form Bath. Got around the park well and played a hand in two of his sides tries.8. Nathan Hughes (Wasps)Continues to impress while Billy Vunipola sits on the sidelines through injury. Did well to spin out of a tackle to score a try at a pivotal moment, ended the game with 62 metres gained from 11 carries.
