Ok Kyrie.
Kyrie is who he is and that’s not changing. The Nets should either decide they can’t put up with it and suspend him for the season or waive him immediately. It does feel like the conditions are meant to “put him in his place” which feels wrong given our racial history in the country. That said, it’s not fair to say there is no accountability for others. Plenty of others in the NBA have been punished for harmful behavior. Sarver was punished by the league and apologized but still pushed to sell the team.
Sarah Silverman? Dom Imus? These idiots have their own employers or are self employed idk. If your employer puts forth requirements don’t blame society. Talking about how kyrie apologized is twisting what happened. He had every opportunity and it wasn’t until after being given every opportunity to apologize and not doing so that he was then punished so then he gave a half hearted Instagram apology. Whatever anyone else does whether that is the people Jay listed or others, that’s their own issue and they will be held accountable by their employer or their fans or their sponsors or the people in their life. People are missing the point that hate speech of any kind is wrong.
Kwame brown rubbing his hands like he’s birdman
Lead with empathy
Facts on facts.
Also if Kyrie believes Jews and blacks are the same people, he should have clarified that earlier
All of the examples he listed are external issues that have literally nothing to do with the inner workings of the NBA or even the external workings of the NBA
Except Kyrie was given a chance to just apologize and he didn’t. He fucking double downed. You are right sensitivity training is bull shit. Dude should just be out of the league like all the other ignorant racists that get deservedly get cancelled.
If there’s any truth to Tsai funding a genocide:
Then this is the pot picking up the kettle, slamming it on the ground, setting it ablaze, throwing it out of the window, then calling it black.
