I don’t have to read any of these to know none of the articles call him a racist, xenophobic, or misogynistic, despite his obvious support of one.

Kyrie posted a link with zero commentary, and he has been labeled as antisemitic.

Because that in of itself is promoting it.

Like Kyrie kept saying, "it's 2022." Well in 2022, your social media platforms are inherently vital to your brand. The reason why you don't see companies posting links to their favorite onlyfans or anything random like that is because it's considered promotion. He clearly had an issue with that which shows he's not as smart as he thinks he is and should do what a lot of other athletes do, which is let someone else run the social media accounts.

If a white guy posted a book about some racist shyt would you be like:

“nah he just posted a racist book, he’s not racist” :stopitslime:

Now i don’t think Kyrie is an antisemite, just a damn dummy that doesn’t think shyt through or even understand wtf he’s trying to say.

But some people ain’t go give a fukk about that distinction. He posted the shyt gotta live with what that brings. Maybe he will learn this time.
Did you watch the movie that Kyrie posted or just going by what the media told you about it?

I don’t agree with this take. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander . This isn’t a random bookstore in a small town. This is the biggest company in the world who could have easily pulled the book in question, not because they really care, they don’t but because of the media storm. Having said this I don’t believe in book banning or unreasonable censorship and I think Kyrie is a smart dumb nikka. I’m not anti-Semitic and believe everyone should be able to enjoy this world without hate, I just care about the hypocrisy. If Jewish folks can press Kyrie for this book then they could press Amazon to remove all anti-Semitic material. They are a private company and could have done it yesterday.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the book listed on amazon when I looked it up.

FYI, amazon is actually a publicly traded company. I have shares :gladbron:

I’ve seen some quotes.

My opinion don’t matter though. They feel it’s antisemitic so if you are gonna promote it you gotta be ready to answer for it. Kyrie deleted it, why are some of you defending it? Did you watch it?

Isn't this what people said to NBA and NFL players talking about racism? Right wing talking points go full circle:skip:



:unimpressed:throwing stones and hiding your hand. If Aaron Rodgers posted a link to st0rmfr0nt you would not be saying "this is hearsay".
They could have just asked Kyrie his opinion on the movie in question rather than assume cause he posted it like you are doing. Something is into something with this whole thing

The fake outrage is hilarious and it's crabish to be apart of it at this point. They're trying to make kyrie an example and tear him down for having a platform and having an "opinion" they dont like. Dude didn't say ANYTHING about Jewish people. Literally no commentary and he is being reprimanded for retweeing a documentary that is widely available for anyone to watch. If you don't see what's going on you're lost. Straight up. If the majority of people against this are white/Jewish and the players themselves are silent altogether..I think that tells you all you need to know.
For a 2nd straight day Shannon is sounding as ignorant as he claims Kyrie is sounding. Those people really thought they were doing something, and Kyrie dropped 26pts and paid them no mind. :mjlol:

I’m not defending anything, I’m just trying to understand the root of the outrage. If posting the movie is labeled as “promoting” then why isn’t selling it for profit to the masses labeled as “promoting or worse exploiting” like Amazon is doing?

So why didn’t they ask him his opinion on the movie to confirm his stance rather than just assume cause he posted the link?

Kyrie had more than enough chance to explain himself and he did this

Then deleted the post.

every time they ask him for his opinion on anything he posts he acts like he is being attacked or he acts annoyed they are asking him. someone asked why he was reposting Alex Jones and he got mad, this is 100% on this nikka.

Maybe but I think this was a premeditated agenda with the fake outrage already built in regardless of what Kyrie was going to say about the post.
