I can’t believe he didn’t double down. I’m so relieved rn and this means he should be back after 5 games. Here I was thinking he may never wear a Nets jersey again

While I think it’s good that he both apologized and acknowledged wrong doing and damage to the Jewish community here, all this says to me is after the suspension he finally understood his NBA career was at risk and finally walked back on his stance. For the first time in Brooklyn Kyrie saw consequences to his actions and was held accountable. Hopefully he really did have a change of heart and grew from this but it’s more likely that he’s just saving face.

timing feels kinda scummy but man i hope this is sincere.. this is all anyone ever wanted from the beginning and it sucks that everything happened before we got to this point but here we are finally.. should it have come before he got suspended indefinitely? absolutely. but hopefully this is the first step towards him getting back out there and us trying to make the most of this season.

OK finally, why couldn’t we have this apology earlier. Fuck.

I’m genuinely surprised. I can’t say all is good now but it’s a step in the right direction. I hope Kyrie does everything right from here on but you can never tell with him.

Good on Kyrie for moving on. Now there needs to be some accountability towards Joe Tsai, who really started this entire mess. This could’ve been dealt with behind closed doors and now you’ve probably ruined team chemistry.
Clown owner who wants to play moral high ground but funds killing thousands. Will not spend a dime on this team until he sells the team to someone competent. 😊

I’m confused as to what in the documentary he agrees with, and if it’s possible for him to have found those agreeable statements in a work that is not rampant with antisemitism. If he can’t find those statements in a non-antisemitic work, then I’m pretty sure that he holds antisemitic views. I’m waiting for Kyrie to clarify that statement but I’m afraid of what he might say.
Kyrie still doesn’t realize that he is not a Jew, and that him claiming to be one is harmful to the Jewish community. Him claiming Jewishness only delegitimizes actual Jews, who spent millennia preserving their identities in spite of persecution after persecution. It’s offensive to claim an ancestry and culture that you don’t have.

I know people are gonna call me cynical, but am I the only person who read the very last line, “I know who I Am” as him tacitly doubling down on the “black people are the real jews” thing?

Wasted no time, that was the right move.

This is the quote at the root of Kanye and Kyrie’s controversial posts: from the movie
>”Remember, Abraham’s religion was Islam. Abraham wasn’t a Jew, Abraham wasn’t a Christian, Abraham wasn’t a Buddhist, Abraham was a Muslim, which means he obeyed God… Who is the seed of Abraham? Is it this blue-eyed, blond-haired, pale-skinned Jew? Or is it the so-called Negro — you? Who is it? And what makes it so pitiful, many of our people would rather believe that the Jews are God’s Chosen People than to believe that they are God’s Chosen People. They would rather believe that the Jew is better than anybody else.
>This is a Negro. Nobody else would put everybody else above him but the Negro. I mean the American Negro. Remember, God said that the people would be strangers. The Jews aren’t strangers. The Jews know their history, the Jews know their culture, the Jews know their language; they know everything there is to know about themselves. They know how to rob you, they know how to be your landlord, they know how to be your grocer, they know how to be your lawyer, they know how to join the NAACP [National Association for the Advancement of Colored People] and become the president -right or wrong? They know how to control everything you’ve got.
Ah yes the “I’m just a seeker of truth and knowledge” like anybody else line. What utter bullshit. If you’re really aware of how ignorant you are how about you shut the hell up? You don’t get to use a platform to millions to spread hate and lies then hide behind, “oh whoopsie, I’m just seeking truth, what do I know?” When you get called out on it (after tripling down). You don’t get to have it both ways.

Bro still didn’t say “I’m not antisemitic”. Just he’s sorry people were offended…
