The Nets and the Anti-Defamation League have reportedly sent a letter to Amazon and owner Jeff Bezos in regards to an antisemitic film and book at the center of a recent controversy involving Kyrie Irving.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Mike Vorkunov reported Friday the organizations sent a letter to Bezos and Amazon leaders asking the company to either remove the documentary, Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, and the 2015 book the film is based on from its platform, or add an explanation about issues with the content.
Irving, 30, was suspended without pay by the Nets for at least the next five games on Thursday after repeatedly refusing to apologize for a since-deleted tweet he shared with an Amazon link to the documentary on Oct. 29.
