The Brooklyn Nets say they are ‘disappointed’ after star Kyrie Irving posted a link to an anti-semitic film.
The seven-time NBA All-Star took to social media to tweet out an Amazon link to a three hour movie titled ‘Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America’. Rolling Stone reported the 2018 film is ‘stuffed with anti-semitic tropes’, and the Brooklyn Nets management have acted fast following his post.
Nets owner Joe Tsai issued a statement to publicly condemn Irving, which read: “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.
