Over 100 demonstrators wearing Black Hebrew Israelite branding marched and rallied outside of Barclays Center on Sunday night to mark Kyrie Irving’s first game back from an eight-game suspension for sharing a film containing anti-semitic tropes.

Quote tweeting a video of the group, Jaylen Brown seemed to show them support, saying energy.

Brown drew immediate backlash for his apparent endorsement. The people shown in the video shared pamphlets referring to Jewish people as the synagogue of Satan under the title — the truth about antisemitism — according to Sopan Deb of the NY Times.
