Kyrie Irving- IMAGO / USA TODAY Network
Kyrie Irving has been getting an earful for his very recent views on Semitism. The player was suspended from the NBA for this controversy. Irving, who was once adamant about not apologizing has now come out in peace to repent his recent wrongdoings.
Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving have been in absolute chaos in recent times. From transfer sagas to the superstar promoting an anti-semitic documentary on his highly-followed social media, nothing has gone right for the franchise and its star player. However, the Nets star’s apology on SNYtv has seemed to cool the waters a little bit.
Irving has come out and apologized for his behavior in the recent past and has vowed to be a better person. The one-time NBA champion’s apology however has not sat well with a lot of people. Many fans are still not ready to forgive the star for his antisemitism while others are glad that a talent like Kyrie Irving is now looking to be more focused on what’s ahead for him on the basketball court.
In his previous pressers about his social media post, the Nets star was hesitant to say the words “I’m not anti-Jewish” but in his recent interview with SNYtv, the fighter has fully come out and admitted he was wrong for his actions in the past and claims he is not a person of hate and only wants to live in “harmony” with other cultures, races, and religion in the society.
Fans react to Kyrie Irving’s apology towards Jewish Community ahead of potential return
The NBA was initially unhappy with Iriving’s past apologies as he did not state he has no antisemitic beliefs. However, in his recent interview, he clearly states he is not “anti-jewish”. The fans reacted to the superstar’s apology on Twitter and took different stances.
He don’t need to apologize anymore

Will he need to use a lifeline or 2 to get the right answer here? pic.twitter.com/y0VD6L01zJ

Never understood why we force people to issue apology that they know, and we know aren’t real. People have the right to feel the way they want. He can believe what he wants. If the NBA or the Nets don’t like it and kick him out. Otherwise don’t make him do this fiasco.

According to Irving’s recent interview, it seems like the NBA star could very well be back for the game between Brooklyn Nets vs Memphis Grizzlies that takes place tomorrow. The Nets are now 7-9 this regular season and would definitely not mind some help from a talented player like Kyrie Irving.
