All of these excuses for a guy who wouldn't immediately condemn anti semitism. Case in point the post above.

What is my hand? Questioning his step mother who convinced him to turn down multiple agencies so she could represent him? His father who has always been overly involved dating back to his Cleveland run, where he'd sit in on the ridiculous practices ran by David Blatt in 2015? Firing his best...

Kyrie said a lot by refusing to condemn anti semitism as soon as he was given the first opportunity to do so. Joe Tsai and Silver both said Kyrie had a place back in Brooklyn when he followed everything he was given on that list of 6 items. Meyers Leonard was not a star and Kyrie is being...

I am not saying he's a liar but when you say you only watched 15 minutes of something you or someone in your team posted to social media and then refuse to condemn the content it's a bit suspect.

He knew what he posted because he was told exactly what it was even prior to the questions coming from that reporter. I also am not 100% sure I believe him when he says he watched 15 minutes only. He has a team around him, all be it a very odd group looking to have their bills paid by one man...

Per Wikipedia, On March 9, 2021, Leonard received criticism for using the anti-jewish slur "****" during a Twitch stream while playing Call of Duty: Warzone. The Heat announced the same day that they were reviewing the matter and that Leonard would be "away from the team indefinitely."[41] The...

Has Meyers Leonard played in the NBA since his anti semetic comments?

You have every right to hold that opinion. I happen to disagree but that's no reason to argue, we come from different places and backgrounds.

The problem is, the owner of the team is the boss and if he feels like Kyrie has more work to do it isn't up to anyone but him. I happen to agree that Kyrie has done well in this process but it is a process. Forgiveness and wound healing come with time and effort. The effort IMO so far has...

This is incredibly faulty logic. Meyers Leonard is done for what he said. If Kevin Love or any other white guy said something or promoted something in the manner Kyrie did, they'd get the same energy from me, but I don't speak for anyone else. EDIT: I'm not even going to get into Kanye, that...

Words need to be met with actions for an apology to mean something. Never thought he was anti semetic, but his refusal to condemn anti semitism right off the bat was a problem. He apologized after he was suspended and Nike did what they did. There's still work to be done, and this applies to...

The suspension was always 5 games or more. So this statement isn't surprising. Let's see the work, because so far it's good to hear what's being said. Redemption story arc is in play and Kyrie has a chance to do some very positive things for society.

Of course it was. I'm just pissed off people think I'm rooting for his demise or hate the guy when he was one of my all time favorite players. This whole situation hurts me not just as a Jewish person with relatives who had to escape the Holocaust but as a Kyrie Irving fan.

The punishment was not for what he said, it was for what he refused to say which would have ended all of this immediately. I'm sure the anti semetic folk here stumping for Kyrie's free speech being attacked would say well you called him an anti semite and all this. From the beginning it was...

He’s not done, fixing his mistakes but it is nice to hear he’s approaching this better than some anti semite on a shoe message board

Happy to see the sincere way Kyrie is being complimented going about righting his wrongs.

Typing on a cell phone. I'd assume autocorrect. It's why Anti-Semitism appears as anti semitism.

That's the entire point, he said nothing condemning anti semitism. Instead he turned it into an argument and continued to promote the movie via his platform. The movie is full of anti semetic tropes and it's disgusting. He's got a long road to rebuilding his credibility.

Deflecting condemning of anti semitism. We all saw the presser. We all saw how many chances he was given to condemn the movie and anti semitism. I'm not writing out a full blown transcription.

I do not expect anyone to bow down after saying something so hateful. Do not insinuate we as a Jewish community expect Kyrie Irving to bow down to us. We just expect genuine words to meet genuine actions going forward.
