    Says the guy who supposedly blocked me for "projecting much" after I responded with examples of him projecting on others.

    All for the best though.

    That's what a message board is for. There are plenty of Blazers stats I don't know that are brought to my attention by other posters here.

    I dunno, a movie saying one of the falsehoods the Jews are pushing is how many died in the holocaust comes across as a wee bit anti-semitic to me. But hey, you do you!

    More than wee bit, I'd say. Thanks for posting a screenshot.

    I haven’t watched the whole thing, but I don’t need to watch the whole thing to be informed on this topic.

    I certainly wouldn’t come into a thread claiming to fight for a future of people not being mislabeled without doing any research.

    I always said if it was overt then he should be disciplined. And being on a message board and learning from others is research.

    This wasn't a historical film with interesting information that someone was saying take a look at. It is shit. Actually, shit is a necessary function, if unpleasant, so it's slandering shit to compare it to this drivel. It is not over reacting to say it is anti Semitic. And it's not subtle.

    Yes, Americans have the right to free speech. Kyrie Irving should not go to jail for what he says. But free speech does not mean free from criticism. Or free from being a pariah. Or free from consequences.

    Anyone who has a job knows there are some things you can't say at work if you want to keep the job.

    And the Hitler quote is fake. The State of Israel did not come into being until 1947.

    He's a FA after the year. It will be interesting to see how much this All Star talent has torpedoed his career.

    Does Kyrie know Hitler refused to shake Jesse Owens' hand at the Olympics, because he shattered the myth of Aryan racial supremacy?

    That's the most ridiculous part, it's a made up quote from Hitler supposedly on his death bed... when he blew his brains out?

    Anyone remember if LBJ or any other players jumped down Meyers Leonard’s throat when he did his little racist meltdown?

    The 1st amendment is largely about keeping the government from making laws limiting an individual's speech. So Kyrie is free to continue being an asshat, but the marketplace is also free to react in disgust.

    I know it's dumb to read Youtube comments, but the sheer amount of people in them defending him is rather surprising and should make you lose more hope in humanity

    Does Kyrie know that he would be one of the first to lose all his privilege if the kinds of people who made this film were in power? Is he too stupid to not realize this?
