Kyrie: itt we discuss his latest horrible thing

Didn't the adl post something refusing to accept any donation from him anyway?

ok yeah not the ADL bit fair point

yeah he was going to give them 500k then after the bad press conference they said no then giving them 500k was on the list anyway, again just not a really solid process

they'll happily take the money once he's apologized sufficiently &etc but there are obv countless other better orgs doing good work in the name of the jewish people xps

im generally skeptical of corporate sensitivity training type shit but who knows maybe put kyrie in a room with a jew who can explain to him why spreading fake hitler quotes is hurtful, i dont get the impression hes a particularly committed antisemite, tho with all the conspiracy stuff hes into he def could be

cld also show him a map regarding why biblical jews were prob not black

he's committed to fearlessly asking questions, and there's no real response to that

what if hitler said some stuff in a secret document in an undisclosed location

tbh he'll prob just get bored of the antisemitism thing and move on to some other garbage that he reads one paragraph about

seems well on his way transitioning from basketball star to . . . poster

and it'll be cancel culture run amok when joe tsai pays him $40m to simply not play basketball

gonna be bad to watch everyone say he posted a link to a movie and now hes out of the league when really if he doesnt find another team its cause he was a huge pain in the ass for years

by now tsai must be rather used to paying him not to play basketball. it's almost a tradition.

hes done so much shit that people have totally forgotten he went awol a couple years ago

there was an anonymous gm questionnaire in the atlantic today and they were all sure that hed get another shot on a short contract but they were also sure it wouldnt be them who gave it to him so idk

lol basketball nimbyism

lol 100% that's what it is

picturing kyrie meeting with a community leader going over about as well as that scene from the rehearsal where the main character lady met with the jewish tutor lady

lol

Sources: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Kyrie Irving met this morning and the sides had a productive and understanding visit, paving the way for the Nets and their suspended star to work through his steps on a potential path forward.

“Paving the way to work through his steps” just fire the little shitstain

Classic shams wordsmithing tho, everything after the comma in that tweet is a master class

working through some not being racist drills with an assistant coach

Kyrie Irving thoughts:

I do NOT take the position that I speak for ALL black people. I speak for myself & my experiences.I come to the table with my sword down. I come to the table to engage in dialogue with empathy. We have to continue to EXCHANGE…. pic.twitter.com/JNimr2xOLY

here’s a guy who will be out of a job in a couple of days

dont get on that motorcycle lol

- straight up repeats kyrie’s “I can’t be antisemitic if I know where I come from”
- laments that when others make racist comments, people leap to defend their character and all but excuse what they did, which is then exactly what he does for kyrie
- tries to point out that when don imus makes racist comments, people just forget about it and no one makes don imus go to meetings, when imus’s show was canceled the next day and within two days he had a meeting with the rutgers coach at the NJ governor’s mansion. all things that could be refreshed in one’s memory just by visiting wikipedia

obviously there are gross undertones to all of this kyrie shit but it seems like people with things to lose should be running their statements by lawyers before opening their dumb mouths

Is this the last days of people ruining their lives by posting on Twitter?

kinda weird he put that on twitter instead of instagram, guess its indicative of him being a media guy rather than a player

the players arent on board w the weird suspension/reinstatement guidelines

💭 I told you guys that I don’t believe in sharing hurtful information. And I’ll continue to be that way but Kyrie apologized and he should be able to play. That’s what I think. It’s that simple. Help him learn- but he should be playing. What he’s asked to do to get back on

the floor I think is excessive IMO. He’s not the person that’s being portrayed of him. Anyways back to my rehab session.

— LeBron James (@KingJames) November 10, 2022

Good reason to just fire him for cause

It's not like he wants to play anyway

the thing is most of the players agree with kyrie AND ant to take the union stance, tricky!

supporting bigotry AND player empowerment. tough needle to thread

oh phew

Clara and I met with Kyrie and his family yesterday. We spent quality time to understand each other and it’s clear to me that Kyrie does not have any beliefs of hate towards Jewish people or any group.

Mmhm

Too big to fail I guess, albeit too dumb for everything else

8th time's a charm

Do we still have to hear from this clod

If he still has those handles, yes apparently

nets losing streak incoming

he'll be deeply questionable sunday, according to the URL

welcome back dr genius

Kyrie Irving cleared, available to play for Nets Sunday vs. Grizzlies https://t.co/rtwk7nxPSd

He’s gonna start heiling the national anthem and get rapidly hustled backstage

i think you meant healing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0GFXvNakkk

worth noting that his “apology” was still very heavily “I’m sorry for the hurt I caused” rather than “I was wrong”

also "i dont hate jews" is a poor understanding of what does or does not make an anti semite

Kyrie Irving has a lot of support outside of Barclays Center today
