Kyrie Irving again declined to apologize for promoting an antisemitic film. It’s time for the league to do something about it, Rosenberg_Mike writes
Enough already. It is time to suspend Kyrie Irving. No more dancing around the issue, no more chances for Irving to stand near a microphone and do his shifty pseudo-intellectual/martyr act. He cannot be trusted to say, do or even think the right thing, and so Adam Silver or the Nets have to do it for him.with another debacle of a press conference. He had ample opportunity to denounce what should so obviously be denounced, and he still did not do it.
Hey, Kyrie, since you asked: When I was a kid, I learned a lot about the Holocaust, which the film you promoted claims did not happen. I did not learn nearly enough about how this country treated your ancestors. But when I did learn about it, I understood it was an important piece of history that everybody should learn. Why can’t you do the same about the Holocaust?If you are one of the people who is angry that Silver did not suspend Irving already, that is understandable.
And so, when Irving and the Nets announced they would each donate $500,000 “toward causes and organizations that work to eradicate hate and intolerance in our communities,” and that they would work with the Anti-Defamation League … well, you can safely assume Silver did not find out on social media like the rest of us did. That was supposed to be a pathway for Irving to move on.
