Nike announced Friday that it has suspended its partnership with Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving after he promoted an antisemitic film on his social media accounts last week.

Nike said in a statement, per CNBC's Sara Eisen:

"At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism. To that end, we've made the decision to suspend our relationship with Kyrie Irving effective immediately and will no longer launch the Kyrie 8. We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the situation and its impact on everyone."

His biggest mistake was just not saying that he wasn't anti-semitic in that press conference. He would've avoided all this trouble if he wasn't so stubborn about that.

I don't know what the ADL and other jewish organisations think they're achieving here.

They might shut down a "black revolt", but they're exposing their raw and brutal power here, whereas before it was all soft power and influence, now it's brazen and out in the open.

People are talking. The people might be powerless, but they're talking.

There needs to be a Wakanda for people like Kyrie who feel theyve been oppressed. It doesnt have to be in Africa, there should be a black homeland in America that blacks can voluntarily repatriate and build their own communities and businesses and so on.

Bc tbh the communities writ large really are under the thumb of a very select few who have all the power and little in common with everyday blacks. These select few are NOT exclusively jewish, some are even black themselves. But the larger black communities are still disproportionately just an economic stepladder for everyone else.

Wakanda needs to have its own businesses and justice systems and so on. Lebron can be the owner of their basketball team.

I honestly think it’s a healthy idea for black communities, and helps to dissolve a lot of the division that is readily exploited which we’re all sick of putting up with. Ofc peeps who feel perfectly comfortable living in integrated areas are still more than welcome to do so, but all the Kyries and Lakeishias who complain endlessly on twitter about white people would have their chance to build a black future of their own design.

It could be beautiful.

Wakanda forever.

The Nets sent an email to Riley-Irving detailing his minimum five-game suspension and the conditions Irving needs to fulfill before being allowed to play again.

Those include a public statement recognizing the film Irving linked to last week as antisemitic, an apology for supporting the film and the falsehoods within it, and training sessions on the dangers of hate speech. Irving must also need to meet with Brooklyn Jewish leaders.

Sorry, y'all lose this argument with the fact that Kyrie made a lengthy apology denouncing anti-semitism last night. So either he really isn't anti-semitic, and should've just clarified that with a simple one sentence response, or he's lying to save his skin.

So yeah, this isn't even a free speech thing to me, this is just a common sense one. He ended up caving anyway, he should've just done it a few hours earlier and saved himself this world of trouble.

Because jews are not the historic oppressor of black people you ****ing retarded fascist. And even if one group has historically oppressed another it's still wrong to demonize an entire group. Hence why being anti-white people is also bad. Simple stuff, but too complicated for your braindead ass.

America is a country obviously dominated by Christianity, this talk of Jews running America is delusional. And do not take my post as saying Christians are bad, either, Christianity has many positives as do all religions. But it has been weaponized for destructive purposes in America. This does not give anyone the right to discriminate against Christians though.

I think I heard that movie went to #1 on Amazon thanks to all of this. A bit ironic that the backlash had been so profitable.

In fact I question how bad this all is for the NBA. Just to be clear I am not condoning antisemitism or that movie. Just wondering how much the NBA is hurt if at all. The NBA has successfully made this just about Irving and they're dominating headlines when normally the NFL gets most of the attention. Could this all be accidentally beneficial for the NBA and for Amazon?

Sad what they’ve done to Kyrie Irving, the Emmitt Till of the NBA.

First they put his name in chains and dragged it through the mud tied to a pick up truck over the COVID vax.

Then they hunted him down and publicly lynched him over posting a link to amazon.

History will not be kind to the NBA.

The first year Irving tries to lead a player protest against the bubble, does not play. The second year Irving leaves the team for two weeks without telling anyone where he was going or why (It was his sister's birthday). The third year he runs afoul of the NY vax mandate. And finaally this year after failing to find a team that would take him in the offseason he creates theis shitstorm. And Tsai has paid him what, 150 mil? Tsai is a man that has wasted a fortune and is pissed off about it. You can do a lot of better things with a hundred mil.

The last two commissioners of the NBA have been Jews and the one before them may have been, it wouldnt surprise me.

Black people gotta start standing up for Kyrie. That's how you know who is paid off and who isn't. Dudes who come in like... yeah, Kyrie is learning are BOUGHT. Dudes who are like yea ya hate to see it are at least showing as much support as possible.

Def no place for neo-nazi or terrorist level sites on here, agree agree, but please, for ya boy, do not call things: hate speech, hate site... whatever. That is such a ridiculous term. It's not even sensible. Hate is the word they attach to things that 'aren't free.' All you gotta say is he posted nazi shite, and it's like o ok. haha GG.

Falling into the hate trap tho... please don't. No matter how much money you get, don't be a mouth piece for that shit that is happening. Every little bit matters, and you can still navigate this world properly and make money without jumping on the bandwagon. Some day, the 'hate' will turn against anyone who disagrees. It kinda already has. Now they've found a way to put it on black people (congrats to them?)

Jeff, you have more power than you know! Pick up your light sabre. Protect the world. ISH was always a free speech forum, and while moderation is definitely important, I would honestly be moderating people who keep spamming about hate speech. lol @ hate speech. I know you were prol on the internet back in the 90s like some of us. Again, lol @ hate speech. Hate ideas? Hate hobbies? Where does it end...

ISH was always a free speech forum, and while moderation is definitely important, I would honestly be moderating people who keep spamming about hate speech. lol @ hate speech. I know you were prol on the internet back in the 90s like some of us. Again, lol @ hate speech. Hate ideas? Hate hobbies? Where does it end...

PEACE and LOVE. GOD is in control.

Advertisers would not want their ads displayed on a website that allows such deleterious and controversial content. Jeffrey is wise. He does only what is best for the continued prosperity of this great forum. Without ad revenue, there would be no InsideHoops.

And that? That is wisdom.

yoo Jeff. I hope you're not on that hate speech stuff, too!

Black people gotta start standing up for Kyrie. That's how you know who is paid off and who isn't. Dudes who come in like... yeah, Kyrie is learning are BOUGHT. Dudes who are like yea ya hate to see it are at least showing as much support as possible.

Def no place for neo-nazi or terrorist level sites on here, agree agree, but please, for ya boy, do not call things: hate speech, hate site... whatever. That is such a ridiculous term. It's not even sensible. Hate is the word they attach to things that 'aren't free.' All you gotta say is he posted nazi shite, and it's like o ok. haha GG.

Falling into the hate trap tho... please don't. No matter how much money you get, don't be a mouth piece for that shit that is happening. Every little bit matters, and you can still navigate this world properly and make money without jumping on the bandwagon. Some day, the 'hate' will turn against anyone who disagrees. It kinda already has. Now they've found a way to put it on black people (congrats to them?)

It's not the video so much as much as his response when asked to clarify his opinion in regards to it. That's where he dropped the ball. Kyrie's the one being woke. And if you're going to be woke it will always trigger some group of people and one has to be prepared for that. Should he have been suspended and lost sponsorships over this? Corporations are going to do what's in their best interests. I think fans and especially Kyrie's peers would need to show support so these corporations can see that he's not a pariah. Otherwise it is what it is. What would you propose?

Your reaction was perfectly understandable. But he was not posting trustworthy information, he was posting from a hate site, which is not good for any of us

I went through each claim, and it was true. Did you?

Kyrie deserves every little bit and much more punishment from all sources. Guy doesn't like SHOWING UP to work and is getting paid MILLIONS. He likes to take advantage of the system and believes he is above the game of Basketball.
