The Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie Irving 5 video games roughly one week after he first posted a hyperlink to an antisemitic documentary. Irving was given a number of possibilities to apologize for the motion, however he did not achieve this till after the suspension.
“That is amid, I feel each Nets’ administration and the league workplace pushing Joe Tsai to be extra punitive,” mentioned Adrian Wojnarowski. “A suspension, a punishment. As the times wore on and Kyrie Irving had an opportunity on Saturday night time after which once more yesterday publicly with the media to disavow and condemn the contents of that film, to say that he was not antisemitic. These two public appearances after which a joint assertion with the Nets a few days in the past that also fell brief. I feel lastly Joe Tsai realized even after Adam Silver did not wish to watch for Joe Tsai anymore to determine this out with Kyrie Irving… he put his personal assertion out and wasn’t going to simply enable the Nets to deal with this, let Joe Tsai deal with it.
“You come to a scenario yesterday the place the Nets suspended Kyrie Irving for at the very least 5 video games and are available out with a strongly worded assertion that definitely many would have preferred to have seen days in the past.”
