    I find the players to be so hypocritical in this Kyrie situation. When the bigot is an owner, law enforcement or politician, they have no issues taking to their platforms to denounce the act. But when the bigot is one of their own…crickets. I haven’t seen LeBron James tweet about it. I haven’t seen Steph Curry tweet about it. The NBPA statement couldn’t even state his name. Hate and racism is hate and racism. You can’t pick and choose when you want to use your voice. The silence is deafening.

    You are essentially trolling with this.

    Please, stop. It's embarrassing enough as it is.

    The NBA let players put names like “end racism” “end hate” on the bubble jerseys, but now that it’s one of their own who is doing it, crickets…….

    If you don't want a conversation, don't respond. Should probably get off a message board if that's the case.

    You are absolutely wrong on this. People that have seen this film say it’s absolutely antisemitic. Jewish people that have seen this film are thoroughly offended and repulsed. The fact that you admitted that you haven’t seen it yet you dismiss the antisemitism boggles my mind. I mean when the film quotes Adolf Hitler, you know it’s bad.

    I’ve never called anybody that.
    I find it interesting that THIS is a fight you are undertaking. Reminds me ALOT of the hillbilly in the OT sections who for the past 10 years posts racist Trump bullsshit all over this forum and then is completely blown away and shocked how people react.
    Why support this clown?

    Re-read what I said. I said the antisemitism in the film might have been subtle enough to fly right over Kyrie's head. If it is blatant, then there really isn't any excuse and Kyrie SHOULD be disciplined.

    The movie is very antisemitic. It literally quotes The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

    This feigned ignorance is the kind of enabling that allowed the Nazis to do what they did. You are on the wrong side of history here bud.

    I'm not supporting this clown, and Kyrie IS a clown. I'm saying, let's not throw that term around so easily. If the film is overt, then by all means Kyrie should be disciplined.

    I just saw a clip and IT IS ANTISEMITIC. I thought it was more subtle since I was told it was about African culture. I stand corrected.

    I would say directly quoting Adolf Hitler is pretty blatant to start with…

    Message board? Have you seen it since you're calling me out for not watching it?

    I'd counter with: if you are ignorant on a subject, read up on it before you start posting.
