Brooklyn Nets GM says Kyrie's apology is not enough. He MUST meet with Jewish leaders before being allowed to play again.

Ari Emmanuel only dropped Mel Gibson because he went on a n word laced racist tirade in that vile recording because there were a lot of Black celebrities who wanted him gone.
He didn't care about the anti-semitism. Which white Hollywood has downplayed and ignored for years even though they knew about it. :mjpls:


In 2006 he made one private anti-jewish statement while drunk. Afterwards he immediately released a written apology, then released another written apology, then did an interview and apologized on television, then pro-actively agreed to meet with Jewish rabbis and discuss where he had gone wrong.

And he STILL got blacklisted - he didn't act or direct in a single movie for the next four years, when he did come back to acting again it was in low-profile acting roles nothing like the blockbusters he'd been in before and all the publicity was about his past statements and his films bombed. And he wasn't brought on to direct a single movie for TEN years, even though the previous three movies he'd directed (Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, and Apocalypto) had all been massive box office successes.




And Hacksaw Ridge, directed by Gibson was showered with awards by cacs in 2016. His anti-semitism didn't stop him apparently.

That was ten years later lol. People are upset that they're still talking about Kyrie's shyt after two weeks and you're trying to compare it to Mel Gibson having to go ten years before he was treated like a normal person in Hollywood again.

And, as I pointed out, Gibson had been even quicker to embrace the apology/begging tour than Kyrie was. If Kyrie plays like an all-NBA player next year, you don't think he's going to get the awards of an all-NBA player?




And that k00n Danny Glover is working with him for Lethal Weapon 5. So Hollywood nor a Black man who should know better and who now knows how Gibson views him should be working with him and yet they are. :mjpls:


You're talking 15 years later. Most people in entertainment and sports will do it for the money (look at how many Black athletes played for Tommy Tuberville). If Kyrie wants to keep playing in the NBA, there's little doubt that Jewish agents and other businessmen will continue to do business with him.

They doing the most lol. Ain’t ant edwards say a gay slur they ain’t make him go chill with gay nikkas. We get it don’t cross the Jews..
That's because Ant immediately apologized. If Kyrie did the same, this wouldn't have become the issue it has, but instead he wanted to play a stupid game of deflection and not actually addressing where he went wrong when confronted, and ultimately ended up with a stupid prize.

HIS GM WAS TRYING TO HAVE A TALK WITH HIM BEFORE THE SUSPENSION AND KYRIE WAS IGNORING HIS TEXTS BRUH

CATS ALL OF A SUDDEN WANA ACT LIKE KYRIE IS JUST SOME REGULAR DUDE WHOS DOWN TO SIT DOWN N HAVE A CONVO .. WHEN THE ENTIRE COLI WAS SHIITIN ON HIM COLLECTIVELY FOR BEIN AN AWKWARD WEIRDO BOUT THE ANTI VAX AND FLAT EARTH STUFF

I would not consider that an offer for a conversation. It was more of an offer to be lectured like always happens in these scenarios

Kanye actually said some anti Semitic shyt tho

I don’t like how they’re lumping him with kyrie

Right. I think the heavy handed response by the Nets/NBA and media is actually uniting a lot of peoples’ support of Kyrie because his intent likely wasn’t malicious.

Ant was in public antagonizing a group of people minding their business, which makes his worse imo regardless if he apologized. On top of that he was using slur like words lmao

Ant deleted the tweet apologized immediately, without anyone having to tell him to apologize.

While Edwards apologized immediately, Kyrie doubled down on the smart dumb nikka routine and did not even give a fake apology. He got was he was looking for.

this is kinda wild

homie apologized already

last year they gave him shyt for not playing cuz of the vax ... but now the organization is really just not gonna let him play until he goes on an apology tour lol
Gave no apology at first, then they finally dragged out a partial one. Only after suspending him did he really apologized. He brought this on himself.

ok but now that he's been suspended and apologized, you don't think the rest of it is overkill?

where is the energy for amazon for platforming the documentary in the first place? for all the talk about promotion, the media highlighting this story served more as a promotional vehicle than the kyrie tweet imo :manny:

Something i learned as a child that i thought others did is that you can not control the response of others. This is how they make an example out of people. I do not know of any other group that behaves like us: "He is not racist, i have known him for x years" "He was confused" "He dated a black woman" "Maybe he has a point", etc.... We never are unified on things like this, or anything for that matter. No group is fractured like us when it comes to not only calling out disrespect, but acting on stopping it.

On the Amazon issue, Jewish groups have been trying to get other movies and books like this taken off for years. This is just more ammunition to make it happen.
