The NBA Needs to Suspend Kyrie Irving

The Nets star again declined to apologize for promoting an antisemitic film.

Enough already. It is time to suspend Kyrie Irving. No more dancing around the issue, no more chances for Irving to stand near a microphone and do his shifty pseudo-intellectual/martyr act. He cannot be trusted to say, do or even think the right thing, and so Adam Silver or the Nets have to do it for him.

Irving blew his last chance at a genuine apology Thursday with another debacle of a press conference. He had ample opportunity to denounce what should so obviously be denounced, and he still did not do it.
