Sean Marks lays outs steps for a Kyrie Irving return to Nets
Among the tasks Kyrie Irving will have to complete to rejoin the team: seek counseling, deal with some anti-hate and some Jewish leaders within the community.

“After anything like this you’d always hope there is a change, a change in feelings and a change in attitude,” said Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks. “Per his apology (Thursday) night, that is a step in the right direction. Again, as we stated, actions speak louder than words. The apology is a step in the right direction. It’s not enough.
“There’s going to be some remedial steps and measures that will be in place for him to obviously seek some counseling, dealing with some anti-hate and some Jewish leaders within our community. He’s going to have to sit down with them, he’s going to have to sit down with the organization after this. We will evaluate and see if this is the right opportunity to bring him back.” That face-to-face meeting isn’t negotiable, one of the things Irving will have to do in order to be reinstated. As such, if he refuses, his suspension could well drag on beyond the initial five games.
The man apologized. Maybe not as quick as he should have, but he did it in the end. This is nothing but "buck breaking" at this point. I never saw Hulk Hogan or Joe Rogan or Liam Neeson or JJ Reddikk or Riley Cooper etc be forced to have a "sit down" with the community they disrespected before being allowed to work again.
