Nets guard Kyrie Irving did not retract his promotion of an antisemitic film and book on social media earlier this week despite saying he “meant no disrespect” by doing so.
“The ‘Anti-Semitic’ label that is being pushed on me is not justified and does not reflect the reality or truth I live in everyday,” Irving wrote on Twitter. “I embrace and want to learn from all walks of life and religions.”
Late on Friday night, the Nets condemned Irving’s decision to promote the film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America with a statement.
