Let’s not forget that Meyers Leonard atoned for his hate speech by visiting the Holocaust Memorial, befriending rabbis, learning about Jewish culture, and joining basketball camps for the Jewish community.

Meanwhile Kyrie has promised to stop cheering on Ralph Fiennes next time he watches Schindler’s list.
Ray Allen is the only person who can save Kyrie now.
Look at kyries new instagram post. He’s apologized.
Yeah, we haven’t forgotten. Because we’re reminded about this every second post. I’m sure another one of these is coming later today and tomorrow. And then the same tropes, jokes and comments follow in the replies. It’s time to move on from this Meyers Leonard stuff… because you didn’t really care about/for him before this Kyrie incident, did you?
I wish y’all would just focus on the current situation and how to move on as the NBA community past this sort of bigotry, instead of constantly ringing in whataboutisms about another bigoted individual.
the only way to make this right is by having kyrie live in Robin Lopez’s attic for a year (no one tells Lopez he’s there and if he gets caught he gets sent to the gas chamber)
Welcome to the world, full of hypocrisy and bullshit
he also stinks at hoops
Yeah, but he’s not as good at putting a ball through a hoop as Kyrie so fuck him.
Good for Meyers. Maybe he can make a living out of his atenoment, since he aint playing in the NBA anymore.
Also, imagine if white people using racial slurs would be forced to go through *gestures arms* all of that after using racial slurs? That’s a Chapelle skit right there.
And none of it got him anywhere.
I doubt anyone even thought myers Leonard was actually anti-semantic though. He messed up and made a out of touch joke but no one genuinely thought that he was anti-sementic. People just love to be offended
By all accounts, he has put a ton of time into atoning for his wrong.
What are the chances Kyrie does any of that?
Is this a common thing in the community then? Looks like Jaylen brown could have similar feelings.
And he was out of the league over a single word. Meanwhile Kyrie is getting a slap on the wrist.
