    My guy Pro Basketball Updates just dropped a gem in this video. Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics is the Vice President of the National Basketball Players Association which is the NBA player's union. Many ball players are not with the suspension of Kyrie Irving and are making their voices heard.

    He didn't say anything antisemitic. He literally just shared a link.
    If you can't do that without fear of being cancelled then we don't have free speech!

    Even he had said something anti semetic it's covered under free speech. I wouldn't agree with it.

    People say anti black racist things all the time and it's just said that it's free speech.

    As a person who served in the military, I feel like I served for protection of all speech not just what I agree with!

    Its interesting how different sports stars/athletes are treated. All being judged to the same standard?

    It’s good to hear the NBAPA say something against this.
    Exactly. Hopefully this will be the start of something.
    He didn't say anything antisemitic. He literally just shared a link.
    The whole situation is bogus. As I understand it both the book and the documentary have been out for a while, but there are only complaints now? The whole thing stinks.

    It’s good to hear the NBAPA say something against this. Hopefully they become more forceful in their stance over the next couple of days.
    The Nets just want to get rid of Kyrie Irving because he stood his ground during Covid. They weren't anticipating him re-signing for another year so they were waiting for him to go off script. This was a total set up.

    Notice how they never made an example out of confirmed anti-Black racist Riley Cooper, the former Philadelphia Eagles NFL player that not only called Black people the n-word and scream that he'd "fight every n-word" like a rural hoodrat, but also got into a fight with a Black teammate?

    And of course he gave a non-apology. Outside of a measly fine, the Eagles did not force Riley Cooper to go on apology tour, donate over $500,000 to Black grassroots organizations, meet with Black churches leaders and Black grassroots activists, etc. No non-stop hit pieces or character assassination. No demands for the Eagles to get rid of him. No suspensions without pay either. Nope, none of that. They treated each racist incident he was involved in as an "isolated incident" that did not reflect Riley Cooper as a person or white people as whole. In fact, the dominant society immediately put Riley Cooper's racist antics behind them and Philadelphia Eagles continued allowing Riley Cooper to play for the Eagles until his comfy retirement in 2017. He is now living a "peaceful life" and catching fish while dressed as and looking exactly like the white racist conservative male that he is and always was.
