Nets forcefully denounce Kyrie Irving's promotion of anti-semitic film

I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation. I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is hurtful to all of us, and as a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion.

The Brooklyn Nets and owner Joe Tsai publicly condemned All-Star point guard and former Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving for promoting the film "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America," on his Twitter account. The controversial movie is widely considered offensive to many groups, but especially to the Jewish community.
