HE NEVER AGREED TO THE ANTISEMETIC REMARKS THERES A MESSAGE THATS NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT
It's kind of crazy that they're going so hard on Kyrie
Then Jews really hate when you say them Jews name
Money is not everything******#
This is exactly where the Devil wants things to be for example. DISTRACTION from the real issue which leads the masses on both sides to their end.
Modern day slavery. "Shut up and play basketball boy"
Can anyone notice the strings behind Stephen?
He just doesn't care. He's a selfish but talented piece of S.
Horns about to grow out his head any day now. Look beyond the natural eyes. These guys are mutants
Ezekiel 39:22-29
22 From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
23 And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.
24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.
25 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.
26 They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make them afraid.
27 When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.
28 Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.
29 I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
I love it how everyone has the freedom to comment and freely express their disgust and negative opinions regarding Kyrie ……i only wish he was allowed the same. And by the way….he was hired for his skills and not his opinions and beliefs. So we see there is a prejudice within the system and he goes right up to those who present these sport channels and those who manage these N B A team's. So the N B A isn't about basketball ball but about beliefs and opinions..AINT THIS A CRAZY WORLD….
WE are the REAL JEWELS they’re just JEW-ISH this is why WE don’t need them BUT THEY need us on their networks. LETS TAKE IT BACK
I hear people saying that they should apologize or has apologizing but apologize for what
Black man never bow down to no white man
I don't think it has anything to do the stubbornness or arrogant on his part however on the part of the NBA who thinks that they own their players the arrogance lies on their side
So what reminder did Leonardo DiCaprio send when he played in a movie about slaves calling them n******? They are trying to cause this man to fall because he won't bow down. These movies all day long using anti-semitism using anti black using anti religious I've seen shows where they degrade our creator but yet you want him to apologize for posting a movie? Naw
Basketball is nothing but a freaking game. If basketball was to go away, so what. It won't change my life. Sellout Stephen A watches his words. SA you missed Kyrie's whole point. He was emphasizing that European Jews are not the only Jews. Kyrie was shedding light on people of color who can also be Jews. SA just said it, "It's all about money for him". There is more to life than just money. Some of the most miserable people are rich.
Steven Smith is a sale out 👀
I'm baffled …. why why apologize for nothing, just because a group with a flawed history feels offended, it's not Kyrie who condemned the white Jewish community, it's ancient Egypt Africa writings and paintings condemned them, there was no white nation that lived in ancient Egypt for 400 years!@!
Yes, Massa Silver. I sho' 'nuff don't want disappoint you and overseer Greenblatt. You says "Jump, n*gga" and I says "How high, Massa?!"
Straight up house n
….but Jerry Jones….nvmd
You ridiculous a straight up jackass in a suit you don't even respect your own people I pray you get back all you have out to your own brothers you ridiculous piece 💩
He clearly denied all those things you speak of Stephen, you sound Foolish., Your response is ABSURD.
Stephen A you are living in Darkness, his knowledge clearly out seeds yours. It isn't always about money because the Most High GOD can care less about your money.
You can't stand for nothing because everything about money ….
Indentured servitude?
Hire a black mouth piece to persuade the fans of justifying a ban of Kyrie from the NBA if not a suspension. The NBA and NFL never make a move until the message has been disseminated by their media first. Stephen A is good i mean very very good.
Really, Stephen A!!!!!
Shoutout kyrie
its crazy how they wanna keep black people from learning about who we really are and where we come from.
Thought I should give my 2 cents on this topic:
KYRIE IRVING WAS TERMINATED FROM NIKE FOR POSTING A VIDEO ABOUT ANTISEMITIC CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
Kobe Bryant(God rest his soul) was Terminated from Adidas in 2003-04 for Sexual Assault Case, but Nike signed him after his name was cleared.
Tiger Woods is still with Nike after his Car crashes, Scandal, etc.
Kinda Weird how the shoe company works.
I'm just saying this as an NBA fan. I'm from LA and I'm a fan of Kobe and Tiger. I got nothing against Kyrie – He's box office when he plays, but he's kinda strange when he observes Native American traits and Fasts during Ramadan. He's kinda foolish for not getting Vaccinated against Coronavirus. Brooklyn should have traded him instead of Harden in Feb 2022. If Kyrie had gone to Philly for Ben Simmons, him and Embiid would have been legit.
I'm not trying to sound racist and I might get backlash for my post, so I apologize if I affended anybody.
I’m I trippin or is the “Jewish community” racist?
Christians believe Jesus was a black Jew. If I post a pic of the Bible am I “anti semitic”?
You can compare slavery to Holocaust period
I’ll never forget this time period. SAS really tried to kill kyrie.
It’s all because a Truth, Stephen a
He didn’t deny that man why do the media keeps spinning shit their way
He knew what was at stake
Smh. STEPHEN C. SMITH…..excuse Jerry jones but bring down Kyrie….
Why do yall support this man
Kyrie sent a link to a movie AMAZON made.
Amazon CEO ANDY JASSY said he has no plan to remove the movie.
"As a retailer of content to hundreds of millions of customers with a lot of different viewpoints, we have to allow access to those viewpoints, even if they are objectionable — objectionable and they differ from our particular viewpoints," the Times quoted Jassy as saying.
Irving was suspended by the Nets on Nov. 3 after he refused to issue the apology that NBA commissioner Adam Silver sought for posting the link the the film. He returned after issuing an apology more than two weeks later. He missed eight games.
Where is that same energy for Amazon. Amazon can promote whatever they want and get away with anything they want because they have the means to control their PUPPETS. SAS is a sellout and ESPN puppet. Not everything is not about money.
