Kyrie Irving is unlikely to be punished for tweeting a link to a movie with anti-Semitic messages, according to reports.
Irving caused a Twitter storm by posting a link to a movie on Thursday, Hebrews And Negroes, which many consider to be anti-semitic, before insisting he would not delete the tweet. On Sunday night, the Brooklyn Nets star deleted the post.
Irving's action prompted criticism, including from the owner of his team, Joe Tsai. He tweeted on Saturday: "I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation. I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is hurtful to all of us, and as a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion. This is bigger than basketball."
