So God has a vested interest in making sure the Nets struggle? Why? What did the team do?

The whole “put in his place”, what was his place prior? Who determines what his place is? Why does he have a place to begin with? This dude…..”in his place”, yeah, this is too damn much now.

And this is what we’re talking about. At this point it is just cloak for when colonizers want to claim minority status. Something they can fall back on.
"Put in his place"
Brothas I hope y'all paying attention to this.
I remember a cat I worked with for years was applying for another position in the company. Hombre showed up in a yamakah. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I said to him, I didn’t know you were Jewish, dude said “ Yeah I usually wear it when I’m doing business or job interviews”. Another cat that I know who says he is of Jewish heritage said his job is telling them they need to get vaxed, so he plans on starting to wearing the Yamakah for that to show he’s Jewish to avoid getting vexed. Now I’m not saying cause you are of said heritage that you must wear these items, but these instances along with others not mentioned, show me that this is just treated as a societal tool.

yeah that "put in his place" line is incredibly ****** verging on racist .
i highly doubt the same words would be used to highlight the way another person is handled
instead of putting in place, you educate, but that doesn't seem to be the intent of some

Is Mr. “Put him in his Place” even anyone of relevance, that whole thing reeks of “shut up and dribble” rhetoric.

The fact that someone needs to put that "ambassador" in his place doesn't change the fact that Kyrie Irving was encouraging discrimination, spreading disinformation, and acting antisemitic. That the Nets and the NBA don't want him to use their platform to do it shouldn't surprise anyone.

Posted the link with no context and people understandably were confused. People ask for clarification from Kyrie.
Kyrie gives clarification and states he does not believe in the anti-semetic quotes in the book.
Not enough. People are upset that the link is still up.
Kyrie removes link. Not enough. People are upset that he did not apologize.
Kyrie posts that he meant no harm but did not explicitly state that he is sorry. Not enough. People want proper apology.
Nets and Kyrie donate money to ADL. Not enough bc he still did not say the words sorry or apologize. ADL does not take donation.
Kyrie asked about his non-apologetic apology and gives answer that I have not watched yet. People want a "better" apology.
Gets suspended for not properly apologizing. Kyrie later tweets out apology specifically saying he is sorry. Not enough.
People are now saying he should never play again because his apology "doesn't feel authentic". People now want a "better" apology as well as a press conference of him saying the words "I'm sorry" bc according to Ramona Shelburne, anybody could have written that apology and we need to hear Kyrie actually say the words now.
Other members of the media + Marks, his GM also saying he needs to go to counseling AND meet with Jewish leaders and ONLY after that will they revisit if he will be allowed to rejoin the team.
So my question is what will it take to finally be enough to move on?

True, but he didn’t use their platform, it’s not like he used the official team Twitter or NBA Twitter, granted he has a platform because of the NBA/Team. But I get where folks are coming from and I understand, I just don’t understand where Kyrie came from because I never knew he had a place.
Apparently nothing. Because according to them, whatever he does to show remorse for his actions would’ve had to have been done better.Posted the link with no context and people understandably were confused. People ask for clarification from Kyrie.

The people not accepting the apology already had their mind made up. He apologized. Move on. Nothing wrong with being positive and giving people the benefit of the doubt. He'll have a new conspiracy theory to get upset about in a month or two anyway.

They couldn’t reach out to Israel? Germany?
Synagogues in New York? DC? California?
Action Bronson?
Why are the Nets involved? Just shut up and dribble.

Are you referring to a specific country? I’d love to know.
Because I know Spain uses a clock that doesn’t make any god damn sense whatsoever. They’re like two house behind the Sun.
Everyone is always like “OMG!!! Spain eat Dinner so late! They eat at night”. Blame their dumb*** government for having the wrong time zone.

Im sure im in the minority of folks who knew about it when it actually dropped yrs back. The way Joe Tsai handled all this definitely gave this the hugest bump possible.
