i think we should actually accept this.

i mean, literally, even if he's "lying" giving 500,000 is fair enough imo. i dont even know what he did ill assume he went on racist rant.

words are cheap, money is quite literally him putting his money where his mouth is, so i say this is acceptable.

money can literally solve any problem.

Keep your damn blood money you clown.

Irving ought to call a press conference and apologize on camera to the Jewish people and others who were offended by not just his original post but his arrogance in doubling down on it with reporters. Then he should issue himself a suspension for a finite number of games without pay.

He liked a racist movie that is found on Amazon. To that , shouldn't the people upset at him be going after Amazon too.

i mean why not? lets be clear, i dont see other rich assholes donating anything when they do shitty stuff.

dont get me wrong either. im not saying continue being a fan of his or anything like that. it's more like, i accept that you might be willing to learn WHY you were wrong if you are willing to pay 500k. 500k is a shitton. that's not a bad apology.

Kylie Irving is most likely the dumbest man in the NBA. He legitimately may not have understood what the movie was about.

I am in no way I'm I a supporter. Just pointing out that Amazon should be taking to task too. And I called the movie racist. So yeah don't fall in line with them.

I agree. The dude the kinda guy who only reads headlines which is prolly why he also endorsed an Alex Jones conspiracy theory.

i don't actually support censorship tho, and i don't care if amazon sells racist stuff. i dont buy it. i dont read it.

you really gonna be mad if the library or book store has a copy of mein kampf?

i can be mad at amazon for unchecked, Lovecraftian greed, but that's about it.

500k is a s***ton
Not to Kyrie Irving. That's just 1% of the money he'll make just this year. His dumbass self happily skipped 53 games last season that cost him a lot more than $500k.
