Kyrie Irving says he cannot concentrate on basketball due to the Palestinian-Israeli situation

[get these nets]

Every man is different and have different circumstances. Kyrie has a rare gift that’s in demand so he can get away with more.

Again, it's unprofessional. You commit yourself to your team and organization. Sometimes players agree AS A TEAM to protest, but this solo shyt doesn't fly.

What’s your opinion on Colin Kaepernick?

What’s your opinion on Colin Kaepernick?

Smilies come out when people get stuck in debates.

Colin exercised his freedom as an American to opt out of standing for the anthem. He was ready to play when his number was called, and still ready to play if a team wants to sign him.

How is this connected to the earlier point about Kyrie possibly deciding to go AWOL on his team?

everyone try that at work tomorrow. Can't focus boss.

I completely agree. He should sit down with his teammates and coaches and convince them to sit out the playoffs in a show of solidarity with Palestine.

if the whole team did sit out that'd be powerful but will they? Nope..

Kyrie just like Kap is using his platform to bring some injustice to the light. Did Kyrie not play in the game then expressed what was on his mind during the press conference?

Does your job pay you millions to entertain?

Hard for Palestine to do much when the west is supporting israel all the way

Hearing them say “Israel has the right to defend itself” be sounding like “Israel has the right to terrorize and maintain an oppressive system in response to weak attempts at resistance”

All jokes asides, why the fukk should a black man in America lose sleep over the Israel/Palestine conflict?

Because fucc israel.

"defend self" but really they are just bombing on women and children over there. Without remorse.

Current climate and other jews/jewish organizations criticizing Israeli policies provides cover for people to speak out about Palestine today with fewer repercussions than in past eras.

Jewish watchdog organizations were bullying and intimidating people from publicly expressing support for Palestine before.

I understand the difference between then and now. What I don't understand is him using that to shyt on Kyrie. It's fukking ridiculous that standing up for the human rights of Palestinians was something that could lead to repercussions, but the poster I was replying to was using that to hate on Kyrie which made no sense.
