In Kyrie’s defense, he’s an idiot.

I don’t think he knows what ’condone’ means.

If he wants to play again he should do what Morgan Freeman did to get out of jail in Shawshank Redemption.

“…and I don’t want to be in a position where I’m being misunderstood on where I stand in terms of antisemitism or any hate for that matter,”
See how it’s still not his fault he sounded hateful?

From what I've seen of him I would say that he's more performatively contrarian and plain fucking ignorant than genuinely hateful, or at least started out that way. That's categorically NOT an excuse for his actions and ignorance is often the gateway drug to genuinely taking to heart shitty worldviews.
But I think it's more that - at least initially - Kyrie fancied himself as being deeper than he really is - like the kind of person who knows there's more to life than being a pro ball player but completely lacks the critical thinking ability to accurately figure out what that should be.

I think that summarizes it. I’m Jewish, and Kyrie pretty clearly isn’t thinking deeply about what his actions mean. This is a guy who didn’t get vaccinated and declared the Earth to be flat. He’s not the brightest crayon in the box.

I think he might have to the Andy Dufresne route.

What's Enes Kanter's excuse?
He's still blackballed.

Leave it to Redditors to spin this into something negative

The real reason is that Kyrie is simply a better player than Freedom so he can get away with more.
bizzum t1_ix2pgyr wrote
Blackballed? As a fervent supporter of Kanter’s last team, he couldn’t stay on the floor because he’s looked increasingly washed over the past season and a half. You can’t play him in end-of-game situations because his interior defense is so bad. Pile all that onto his off court pursuits to become a right-wing TV talking head and penchant for trying to spark Twitter wars with star players (while completely ignoring them on the floor days later). He’s been waived by two teams in under 3.5 years.
Miles Bridges is presently out of the league because of his off court behavior and drawing negative attention to the NBA. Allen Iverson refused to accept a bench role and couldn’t find a team as a result. Stephon Marbury caused so many issues for the Knicks in 08-09 that they’d rather waive him, pay him to stay away from the team and paved the way for him to sign with an in-division rival (and reigning champion). Sometimes personality (and routinely piss-poor behavior) supersedes talent. Kanter is one such case.

Also, I don’t think he knows what hate speech is.

Freedom pissed off the NBA by criticising China.
The NBA don’t give a fuck about ‘social justice’, because the moment you criticise a cause they are tied to you are blacklisted.

Not only that...I mean what else is going to do if his basketball career is over? That's a double whammy there.

Yeah I don’t get it. Roseanne is an idiot and no one was defending her. Along with the long list of other idiots who have been shunned off the face of the earth for the stupid shit they’ve said.

Why is it relevant that you’re Jewish?

Because I probably have a keener eye for antisemitism than a non-Jew.
