The anti-Semitic controversy Kyrie Irving does not stop. The latest hour is that his club, Brooklyn Nets, has imposed a 5-game suspension in which he will not receive his salary. Brooklyn is deeply saddened by his star’s attitude.
In a statement, the franchise complained that the All-Star did not take the opportunity it was given to deny its alleged anti-Semitic beliefs.
In this sense, the franchise is shocked that Irving “refused to say unequivocally that he has no anti-Semitic beliefs, nor does he recognize specific hate material in the film“, in reference to the anti-Semitic movie that Irving linked to on October 27 in a tweet.
“Over the past few days we have repeatedly tried to work with Kyrie Irving to help him understand the harm and danger of his words and actions, “the Nets statement continues, recalling that the player” advertised a film that contained a deeply disturbing anti-Semitic hatred. .“, continues the text.
Not having repudiated thoughts of hatred towards Jews is, according to Nets, “deeply disturbing“besides going”against the values of our organization, constituting a conduct that is detrimental to the team“.
Irving will not be able to play, at a minimum, against the Wizards, Hornets, Mavericks, Knicks and Clippers.
