  1. 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.”

  2. 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….

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  6. 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!@!

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
