Irving should put out a tweet about Alibaba and their role in the persecution of the Uyghur population in China
That would really be something (I might actually start liking the guy for whatever that's worth)
Irving IS a Muslim isn't he ?
Oh man, that would open up the can of worms.
NBA already endured that with Houston.

hah he should have donated the 500k to some uyghur anti-hate charity that spreads awareness against china and say that he can see the parallels between the treatment of the uyghurs in china and the treatment of the jews before the holocaust.

I personally hope Kyrie doesn't give in. The list of demands is ridiculous. Is this really about religion and value??? Or has this been stretched into BEING OWNED? Definitely the latter.
I wouldn't mind a little explosion here. Might open up a few eyes... stick your money up your ass.

Yeah, I was saying it feels like their using him at that point. The fact that the list is even public and not a private thing, kid of lends to what we're saying.
Seems like a real shady plan for optics here, if it is for optics.

I guess not. Things really blew up on him. I can't tell if the Nets straight stabbed him in the back or not.
It sure feels like it, in some sense. Maybe I missed something.
This just continues to prove his point. They really just want to punish him for calling them out.

Irving aside, at this point doesn’t it seem like the Nets are using him here? Nets trying to score points with the public?

They were willing to forgive him his prior misdeeds (anti-vax, roster critiques/ demands, demanding nash & marks be replaced in the summer, demanding a trade in the summer, even the Ramadan thing in the playoffs which clearly affected his performance in crunch time) but they've realised it's not happening and so now is the time to drive the boot in. If it makes the money lenders and the media corporations happy then all the better.

ADL meets with Kyrie Irving, declares him 100% antisemitism free
Adam Silver: ‘No doubt’ that Kyrie Irving is not anti-Semitic
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"> 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</p>— LeBron James (@KingJames) <a href="https://twitter.com/KingJames/status/1590781218790211584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" >November 10, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

It's this quote that gets me: “He’s someone I’ve known for a decade, and I’ve never heard an antisemitic word from him or, frankly, hate directed at any group.”
What?! You mean all those years of playing video games together and bike rides he's never said I fuckin hate jews? :/

With Nash and Kyrie, Nets were on pace to be one of the worst defensive teams of all time. Without them haven't allowed over 100 points in a game yet.

Pretty sure that's all Irving. Interim coaches typically don't change much unless the players are calling for it. Sumner & Johnson have a lot more to offer defensively at the point of attack.

He was good for them when they had Harden. He was off the ball more..... Never been a good player on the ball imo. You don't want a lunatic running the team!

Antisemitic books from Kyrie Irving scandal a bestseller on Amazon, Apple
The Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America series promotes the conspiracy theory that Jewish people are imposters who stole the heritage of black people.

He'll be back on the Nets soon enough.
It's crazy talk that anyone else would take him at this point. Right? No team is picking him up.
The Nets are covering for him, doing him a favor giving his head a rest until this typical cancel culture bs finally dies down. Where too many feel the need to be outraged.
People overreact.

Most of the black talking heads are saying that his punishment is too severe.
A lot of white folks said a lot less the past few years and got cancelled and had their lives ruined.
So it is ok for blacks to be racist against other groups but not the other way around?
Not breaking news or anything but a lot of these people are the biggest hypocrites.
