It's a shame that our athletes are held to a higher standard than our politicians.
Very true 😂
It’s a joke
Preach my brother !!! Preach!!!
Wow good point actually haven’t thought of that
it's a shame that athletes THINK they are above the level of regular humans and try to say "smart" stuff only to look stupid, and then be eaten alive by the public for their idiocy, so they have to retreat and come up with sorry half-apologies to save some face. Only to DO IT AGAIN later.
Politicians know how to control their mouths when they have to; some athletes do not, sadly
On g
Anyone who thinks Kyrie wrote that instagram apology believes in fairies
Of course! Nobody thinks that he actually wrote that himself, but whoever wrote it put his name on it. So therefore it's his apology
Noooooooo reasaaallllyyy
To be fair. This sounds more like Kyrie than the joint statement the Nets released.
He doesn’t owe no one an apology

All this Kanye & Kyrie coverage, did Brett Favre return the money he stole from the state of Mississippi?
Stolen from twitter lol
learn to walk and chew gum
they are all wrong
but brett farve is going to jail
They covered Farve for weeks
Just because you weren't paying attention, doesn't mean it didn't happen
Stay in school, kid
Brett Favre is a low key guy. There is not much to cover anymore. Kanye and Kyrie enjoy getting attention from the media.
Whataboutism moron, that’s a ongoing investigation
Kyrie is getting more coverage for posting a link to a movie, than the Brett Favre situation.
@@nighthawk3899 Next time the thief Farve should steal out of your bank account and then see if that's equal to someone posting a documentary.
@@nighthawk3899 why? It's an opinion, versus ACTUAL egregious manipulation and mistreatment of poor people. And Kyrie separated himself from the truly problematic part of the documentary he shared (Holocaust denial, and anti semitism)
@@nighthawk3899 🤦
WELL SAID BRETT ACTUALLY STOLE WELFARE MONEY MADE FOR LOW INCOKE FAMILIES BUT IF YOU SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE JEWISH RELIGION YOU WILL GET ENDLESS MEDIA ATTENTION I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT
@@luridsilence He never stated anything opinion wise. They're asking him for his opinion, and he won't give it. It's a modern day lynching.
The Media drew more light to this film than Kyrie ever did.
Kyrie is one person, But Kyrie Twitter is 17 Million opinions. Impacts can be Determined based on Platforms, Kyries is Quite a Huge one.
And Kyrie brought attention of the film to 17mil followers before that. You cannot call out someone without stating why they are being called out.
It just shows you how much money and power Jewish people really have. Say Anything deemed antisemitic, your canceled and ostracized. Say something Sinophobic and your cheered as a patriot.
N am still lookin for it
@@justmyopinion8395 Their power is fictional and only real if you believe in it.
I bet no one on that panel has even watched the documentary 😂😂😂😂
It’s crazy how they trying to spin this into Kyrie talking about the Holocaust and ignore his actual point
Media spin machine in full effect
which is? since he did not provide context to his post, how did you get his "actual point"

@@larry4774 Right 😂
Indeed. And that is what is going on here. Pay special attention to those who are coming after Kyrie, feigning victimhood and likely ignoring the realities of tons of atrocities and scourges imposed upon and suffered by Native Americans and those of African descent via institutionalized slavery of the 18th and 19th centuries.
lets not forget this is all over him sharing a documentary. not anything he said
I have a feeling when kyrie retires he won’t be celebrated as a great basketball player who is a champion . He will be remembered for all of this
yep.
He only has 1 ring so yeah he’ll be remembered for far worse than just that shot against the Warriors
Not me. As a Bron fan I will always remember him as a very skilled player and thankful for the championship.
He's not even remembered for being a great basketball player while he's playing so he's definitely not going to be remembered for it after.
Someone with his talent would be pursued by all franchises but his antics are pushing almost everyone to avoid him at all costs.
Stephen A is such a hypocrite. Everything he said about Kyrie, he is guilty of. Arrogance, stubbornness etc. Do they even think before they say these things?
Everyone is guilty of having arrogance and stubbornness to some degree-the point is, does it affect your professional life? For Kyrie, it 100% does.
Yes he is
I don’t know about all that. There’s been things he’s said one second, then the next day he walked his comments back or corrected himself. When has Kryie ever done anything like that?
He’s buckbroken
Stephen A is a pawn. He worships this society.
Money isn’t everything Stephen A.. STAND FOR SOMETHING
Stand for something does not mean stand for whatever is trending. What are you even saying lmao?
bruh
Stand for pure ignorance and lack of self education lol
Yea let’s stand for Alex jones who thinks sandy hook was a hoax
@@dadillonful so white people are systematically racist and that type of language is ok . Or that police hate black people that’s ok But posting a tweet about documentary is hate towards the Jews smh
Not everyone sells their soul for money Stephen lol
And we still haven't heard this amount of vitriol against Brett Favre.. and Kyrie hasn't stolen a dime.
Good point
@0809EZ And what about the ire that we need to direct toward the NBA for supporting BLM: a fraudulent organization that misappropriated hundreds of millions of dollars, capitalizing off a a minority group's tragic history and pain, but continues ro he held unaccountable. ADAM SILVER IS A PIECE OF 💩
You clearly weren't watching First Take when they were covering the Favre situation.
Well favre isn’t currently playing in a privately owned league, so maybe that also has something to do with it
Brett Farve was all over first take when it happened you Fkn idiot 😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 go back and watch all the videos
They gonna give a whole new meaning in "Shut up and dribble". 👀
No. The arrogance that you people openly express will be the end of your silly game. Elijah is with us, not you.

Kyrie is the Ye of the nba 💯
Stephen A just confirmed what I thought about him and guys like him. It all comes down to the money. Stephen A isn't motivated by his principles or values, it's all about the money. What's the definition of a sellout?
Spot on!
Bingo
ESPN will give him whatever he wants to read their script haha
Facts
I can tell you the definition of a dumb person: just listen the final minute of a video to then attack the broadcaster. They call it Xman sometimes
The film is still up on Amazon right now. If it's so anti-semitic and filled with false information, why is Amazon still allowing it to be streamed.
and they making even more money from it now bcuz of the MEDIA'S exposure lmfao!
Good question.
As a grown Black man, Speaking against this young Black man, that knows Exactly how he feels & have his Believes in order! You my brother, are the one that’s in a dark place!! All money.ain’t always good money! If we had that same energy they’re putting towards Kyrie, for our own ppl. We will be UNTOUCHABLE!!
You guys have promoted that film 1000 times more than Kyrie
Who did?
I watched it to find out what the controversy was about it. I'm not understanding this overreaction.
@@bencritterson640 the media the fact they talking about it makes me want to buy it
How are they promoting the film, when they don't even mention the name of it or where you can go to watch it? 🤔
@@alex-yj4gd thank you bro it’s because they don’t want black people and people in general to know history.
The energy wouldn’t be nearly the same had kyrie posted anything demeaning black people
or if another (white) jewish person had posted it!
no fkn lie, cuz they love to promote issues within the black community, look at hip hop rn... lost af
Yeah very disappointed in the nba and the Nets for this. They're censoring his freedom of speech and it's wrong. Even if you don't agree with him this is wrong.
Everyone can always talk crazy about black people, but as a black person, you better not talk about anyone else.
@@tjgrafiks if a white person did this they would have been booted from league over a week ago

I pray for Ye, Kyrie, & the next Black Brother/Sister that will take up our fight & speak truth! ☝🏽🤲🏽✊🏽
There are so many African Americans walking around mentally and spiritually lost because they don’t know their heritage. The fact that there are people who had this information and purposefully concealed it makes me sick to my stomach.
The media helped promote the movie more than Kyrie ever did. It’s funny when you think you controlling the chessboard when you really just the pieces on the board
That’s basically everyone
He still made the first move on the bored ALL on his own.
No one made him post that, you people act like he didn't know what he was doing.
Trying to say, "look at this" full well knowing he was giving 0 context.
He is a grown man. Don't baby him.
Well said.
No one would know about this documentary on a national, mainstream level if it wasn’t for Kyrie sharing it. That’s just a fact.
@@pointlesspapi6526 I don’t follow Kyrie nor am I on any social media besides this CZcams I use to watch videos. If espn and this talking heads never covered this Kyrie stuff I wouldn’t have known anything about it. And o speak for THAT crowd
ESPN did more "promoting" of the film than they claim Kyrie ever did.
Congratulations, you played yourself.
ESPN cares about getting views, not a movie. You just played urself
Actually it’s very important for espn to cover it after Kyrie did that. People need to see it’s wrong and that he’s being held accountable. If not people see that link and believe it’s true and factual since he endorsed it
@@brxndaveli5834 wrong is subjective. He’s wrong to those in power. He’s right for those who identify to the same or similar beliefs.
@@ajschraufnagel ....actually they did promote the movie with all this attention they are giving on Kyrie and his twitter post.

@@iangmendoza True. Good point.
Udoka didn't say antisemitic things or post an antisemitic movie/book. He had a mutual relationship with an employee who was under him. Broke the Celtics front office rules.
Kyrie is pretty dumb tho... Did he even think it through. Why even post something like that on your I G. That film he put up has some very offensive things in it
Kyrie isn't anti-semitic. That's obvious from the interview. If you still want to talk about him being anti-semitic when he obviously isn't, that's your problem. Not his.
Facts
We don't support the NBA NO MORE. All your subscriptions, cancelled. Game tickets, trashed. Merchandise, resold. Public figures, unfollowed. NBA sold out this man for MONEY, you will stand on that then.
Anyone who believes the earth is flat can’t be trusted to have sensible thoughts
He apologizes and now it’s something else….
It’s always
smh and donated money, they just hate this man and I really don't understand it at all
They legit extorted him and made him apologize. It'll never be enough.
There will always be something else. Until it isn't.
Kyrie should've posted a video of how to apologize😂😂 or a link to a book about apologizing
🤡
This is hilarious
I don’t think he should clown 🤡
Apologize for what??
🤣
“He’s not a bad guy” 😂
He said that Kyrie is teaching them how lose money 😂😂😂😂😂
Kyrie (who identifies as Hebrew, a Semitic language): “I respect all walks of life, I can’t be antisemitic if I know where I come from”
aka…he’s not anti-himself.
Media: “GET THIS RACIST OUT THE LEAGUE!”
two years ago he was muslim
he identifies as a language? come on now, he's not that dumb
Thank you @DarylD
Hebrew Israelite dummy do your research or watch documentary before commenting
@@g33k707 1) he did not proclaim he was Muslim. Fasting for an Islamic tradition is not proclaiming to be muslim. It’s respect for said tradition and religion.
2) he also called himself an omnist dickhead.

Please post the documentary in the description below😅😅😅
This is why you should not apologize because even when you do they don't accept it and move on.
EXACTLY
I REALLY wished he didn't apologize. 😥
His public stance did more for humanity than his "apology" did. He will NEVER be able to live this down...NEVER.
Just because someone apologizes, that doesn't mean you have to accept it
@@proe365 so why ask for an apology if you not going to accept it?
@@proe365
So why apologize? My gf pulls that stuff all the time so I've stopped apologizing and stand by whatever I did.
Lol the media promoting this thing more than Kyrie is at this point.
Ikr
I didn’t get a name or a link? What exactly they promoting ?!?!? Clown
They didn’t tell you to watch the movie. How is this promoting ?
Kyrie didn’t tell anyone to go watch it
Pretty sure espn wouldnt have anything to talk about if kyrie didnt promote it
Stand On It Bro & Don’t Walk With Your Head Down Because To The Less Fortunate We Love You👑🪖💯🙏🏾
If Kyrie was white, you would want him cancelled like miles leonard
@@dadillonful Acting like you know him, sit down son
As a Jewish person I should just ignore him for using his platform to deny what happened in world war 2? I’ll just tell my son and grandson that their grandfather was not executed by lethal poison in concentration camp? Tell me
@@kelkathanezmaranan8310 how did he deny it? And as a Jewish person will u stop using Amazon since it was on their platform or is that “different”?
Well said!
Aside from the kyrie situation what I got from SAS take is that he would do anything for money.
Makes you wonder how he really moves in life.
Morals and integrity don't apply to people like him when it come to money.
He’s stated that he is a major capitalist. That he’s all about making that money!
That’s not what I got at all from it but why would you completely throw away money that’s basically guaranteed to you? This statement acts like kyrie has no choice but to induce drama everywhere he goes.
And how do you start to question Stephen A’s morals and integrity from this segment?? Don’t understand how you came to that conclusion
Facts
Man. He NEVER fails to dissapoint me. Money is really God to.this man. Smh
This Kyrie situation has reaffirmed for me... The majority of people are uninformed followers, AND, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist.
Like kyrie?
Why not invite the makers of the documentary on your show and have them explain what’s in the book?
Because they don’t want it widely known who the real Jews are, ironically they’re doing the exact wrong thing because they want to punish Kyrie and Kanye to set an example out of them
Because the people who made the documentary are essentially Nazis. They push Nazi talking points that have no basis in reality.
Last time I checked ESPN is a sports network, why would they be giving coverage to filmmaker instead of an athlete?!
@@doubleeph8920 likewise why is a sports reporter asking a basketball player about his Instagram post?
What a dumb question?! 🤦🏾♂️🚶
someone needs to cancel these talking heads! it's a sad day in America when you get canceled for posting an amazon movie link!
I thought Perk was going to talk on this video also.
Didn’t he apologize both times he just said sorry in the last one? Are they actually mad he didn’t say sorry at first? I don’t get what was wrong w the first apology. He took responsibility, stated he didn’t agree w everything in the documentary, and he wasn’t antisemitic. And he donated 500,000.
It’s never enough, especially when they have an agenda to shut down the conversation that the documentary was meant to start. They don’t want Black people to see themselves as the Real Children of Israel.
It’s just woke cancel culture. Don’t pay it any mind. They’ve been after Kyrie for years now.
It’s getting ridiculous at this point! I see no support for Kyrie from the players and the media and I’m not saying they have to agree with him but the fact that it seems like they’re turning his back on him just speaks volumes towards the black community! For what?!?!?!?
@@bigrbeats455 what does woke mean? And it's not cancel culture. It's accountability when you have a big platform like his. He represents a professional league and team. Gets paid extremely well.....he has to be careful with his words and what he puts out. Or this is the result, backlash over being ignorant and dumb.
@@MrSmurf459 some in our community are scared to death of those who write checks.

When Kyrie was born, Stephen A. said "Something doesn't feel right today" lol 😆 🤣🤣🤣
@Zay right 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I cannot be anti-Semitic if I know where I come from”
Basically Stephen A Smith said obey your master or lose your freedom
That's what I heard too.
And Stephen Smith keeps crying that he isn't paid enough. So he keeps kissing his master's feet in the hopes of a higher paycheck. Justice for Kyrie. Who ain't gonna kiss anyone's feet. "To be living as a free black man, here, in America knowing the historical complexities for me to get here... I'm not gonna stand down on anything that I believe in... Don't dehumanize me up here." Mad respect. Kyrie is a HERO. And needs to take his case to the SUPREME COURT.
@@gj1695 The 6-3 conservative majority SCOTUS? LMAO, YOU SLAVE DESCDENDANTS REALLY ARE DUMB AF!

These analysts are paid to go against what kyrie is saying! All he did was post a link!! I’m done with basketball & all this fake sh!t kyrie did nothing wrong at all!!! Anyone who sides with kyrie would be out of a job just like him & kaepernick!!! Sad really sad & disheartening!!
When will we stand together.....
At this point they are purposely not letting it go
Did they “let it go” for Mel Gibson? How about rosanne Barr? Both those ppl gave genuine apologies and they didn’t let it go, so why u think Kyrie get special treatment
@@ajschraufnagel 🤣🤣🤣 comparing the multiple actions and audio of Mel Gibson and the multiple comments made by Rossane to Kyrie sharing a link to a documentary is beyond disingenuous.
@@LTOOFRESH hold up! What "multiple actions and audio of mel gibson"? What Mel do specifically?
@@ajschraufnagel Mel Gibson got drunk and went on a tirade against "God's chosen" like 15 years ago, I believe it was all on audio. The narrative then became: the only people who are "antisemites" are intoxicated people with drinking problems and how "antisemitism" is behind every corner due to it being "hidden" in most people's mind. It's funny how the media always obfuscates and promotes inaccurate portrayals or caricatures for their own gain. They tried to make a caricature out of Mel Gibson, and most of the dummy masses fell for it because, let's be honest, most people unfortunately need to be told what to think.
Because you're not allowed to criticize them
Still trying to figure out when kyrie said all these things . All he did was share a post that Amazon (who has a partnership with the NBA ) released as a documentary . Never said anything
amazon is a market place... anything can be sold on there but posting the link of a film that says the holocaust didn't kill 6 million jews and only 150k were living in Germany is clearly antisemtic
This isn't hard to figure out. You don't want to see that linking to something like this without context is implicit endorsement. Think harder!
@@MarkFirstList Write smarter.
I can already tell your not very smart. Lol
@@MarkFirstList have you seen the documentary? Some parts of the documentary were out of pocket. Other parts of it were very very truthful.
What did he even say? I cant find the exact quote

Why is SAS acting like Kyrie didn't apologize when Molly just read the apology?
Rewatch, listen and think
Haha did he apologize? He said he's sorry it hurt ppl. He's not sorry he did it. He doesn't think he was wrong. He think because he didn't mean to hurt ppl that it doesn't count. He clearly reiterates twice that he believes the hurtful conspiracy about his heritage is true. Would be like if punched you in the face and instead of saying "sorry I hit you" I say "sorry that your face hurts but I'm not a violent person and I could never be" like that's not an apology.
We all know his manager or someone close to him advice him to apologize or the 5 day suspension would only be the Start
It was a force apology

Ain't no way you're thick enough to believe that was his real apology
I can guarantee if Kyrie Irving would've stated anti Black comments like Kanye did the NBA, the media wouldn't even address that
You are wrong they would address it but the punishment would not have been the same. Remember Kanye also received alot of backlash for his comments on slavery which was deemed to be anti black
No they wouldn’t. Kyrie would be celebrated if he did that
Haha, this the worst take here. The NBA shut down cause some black dude died a few years ago. Their still stupid slogans everywhere from BLM. No race more privileged in NBA then the blx
@@TJ-kl1vj backlash means nothing. He didn't lose anything.
As a black person, that's not the league's responsibility to hold ppl, like kanye, accountable, that's black ppl's job.
The Nets have been a "Dumpster Fire" for the last four seasons! Really.

Kyrie Irvin also takes money from China and so does every other person in the world
Whataboutism
It should be. Btw Pablo Torre did call out Joe Tsai and the China connection. So this type of discourse is out there.
This is so dumb
You’re 100% right. That conversation needs to be had. But this isn’t a “what about this” or “what about that”. Kyrie Irving stirred up this controversy by not clearly stating what he believes in from what he shared. He even said he didn’t provide context. The conversation is about misinformation, and the dangers of being anti-Semitic
If you want to know who controls you then look at who you cannot criticize.
Donald Sterling
So because I cant walk around yelling the N word without getting beat up, I am controlled by black people? Also... where did he have any reasonable criticism of Jewish people? He linked a documentary and then refused to speak on what he agreed or disagreed with. He just left it at that. That isnt criticism thats simple promotion of a work.

But they won’t attack Amazon for having it but they quick to sellout they own kind without trying to talk to him to understand what kyrie is wanting in the film to be known
Why it their job to help kyrie out? Cause kyrie and the ppl u mention are all black? Media personalities gonna clown kyrie for posting racist material like they would anyone else. Shaq not gonna stick his neck out for some stupid hotep like kyrie
exactly every black man in media is outrage and didn't even watch the documentary
My issue is that Kyrie could have avoided all this by communicating his point more clearly on the front end and repudiating the stuff he didn't agree with. He's so unclear with what he's trying to say, it's easy for them to twist it.

It was giving the perspective of history through the words of historians, leaders of different empires in history, and DNA as well as linguistics.. I am almost 100 percent sure anyone offended by this video did not actually watch the video in full.. Context matters
Boycott NBA, Nike and Addidas
This is why I wished he didn't apologize. Ya'll push and push for the apology, you get it, then it's not good enough. 🤦🏿♂️
because it is not immediate nor sincere; he has been practically cornered to say "sorry not sorry"; that level of arrogance is toxic, even for himself. Kyrie needs to stop thinking he's Buddha and start to take his Ls with humility and quick. That's how you avoid this type of mess
@@gadget00 why is no one placing blame on Amazon prime for airing the movie? Shouldn't they be held accountable for part in this? 🤔
Facts
If he didn’t apologise, his career would be over, see what happened to Mel Gibson career.
@@tka060681 yes, and it would certainly be over due to some arrogant stupid decision rather than "standing for sometihng". He said he recognizes the doucmentary has wrong and dubious information. I bet you he just tweeted that without watching it, and later found out the nonsense it was
Release him if his comments hurt you so bad. I’ll take him in LA
🧢 .. he'll bring his problems to LA
Nobody is gonna take him anytime soon. Nobody was interested in taking him before all this happened. They were trying to trade him before this happened and nobody was interested and then he does all this. He’s a complete headache and locker room cancer. His NBA days may be over.
@@cotati76 lebron could fix him. He won with him.
@@davidsayimright57 that's you're problem. Everyone always depending on Lebron 🤦🏾♂️
@@jleww8959 nope. We depending on AD health actually
He "apologized" because he doesn't want to lose his career
I'm afraid he might be retiring early.
It’s over for him anyways
So why don’t Jeff Bezo have to apologize? Should they boycott Amazon and force the same things they’re forcing Kyrie to do? Or is he too rich and powerful he’s above the same energy and criticism huh? Don’t deny the truth we all know Jews ain’t gone go after that man like Kyrie😂
If after the past few years people really think his career is what Kyrie is concerned about, y’all haven’t been watching
Yeah it's sad. I wish he didn't fold. It's still America and free speech remember?
I believe that this is to penalize Kyrie for not getting the jab.
Stephen a is an impostor
Everybody's hurt these days when someone has an opinion that doesn't match their own.
It has been this way for a while, especially during the BLM movement. Remember when East Asians didn't kneel during anthem and got cancelled?
Stop it. It’s one thing after another with this guy. He’s a complete joke.
@Maurice S how you would like if someone said slavery didn’t exist? That it’s made up
@Maurice S No lie, fam. That's why, despite some of the stuff they do, i STILL ADMIRE THEM ASIANS. They been letting people make all of their "slanted-eyes" jokes (me-chinese-me-know-joke: me put pee pee in your coke) for eons BUT they don't whine about it or whine for acceptance. They just want to ensure that this country lives up to its promise of opportunity and they come here a BEAT everybody else at this country's own game. They focus on education instead of entertainment or athletics. And they excel and make money and work together as a collective while we over here being all sensitive wanting everybody to like us and being offended if we like the big mac but the man next to us is eating a whopper
Bingo
Everyone here that stands with Kyrie should unsubscribe from ESPN and stop buying Nike products
The antisemitism is strong in these comments. He promoted hate speech. Plain and simple, all he has to say is, “I’m not antisemitic, I’m sorry for coming off that way.” But that was too hard for him. Kyrie saying, “How can I be antisemitic, I know where I come from.” Is so ridiculous. I’m sure all racist and bigots will be using that line from here on out.
Steven A. Is describing narcissistic traits.
He couldn't wait 4 this
