Brooklyn Nets suspend Kyrie Irving for at least five games over his 'failure to disavow antisemitism' following Twitter controversy
In a statement on Twitter, the team said they made repeated attempts to help Irving “understand the harm and danger of his words and actions, which began with him publicizing a film containing deeply disturbing antisemitic hate.
“I oppose all forms of hatred and oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day,” Irving said. “I am aware of the negative impact of my post towards the Jewish community and I take responsibility. I do not believe everything said in the documentary was true or reflects my morals and principles. “I am a human being learning from all walks of life and I intend to do so with an open mind and a willingness to listen.
