Brooklyn Nets Guard Kyrie Irving Suggests Restarting NBA Season May Take Away From Black Lives Matter Movement

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The NBA may well restart their season in Disney World, but it’s looking like not everyone is on board with the plan.

On Friday, Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving was part of a call with fellow players and suggested that restarting the season wouldn’t be wise because it may take away from the equal rights movement this country is currently embroiled in.

There were others who are in favor of the restart, believing that playing would provide them another platform to spread their message of racial equality.
