    The mistake was the media over blowing his tweet
    That documentary has probably like 100 views
    And probably 200 views after Kyrie posted it .
    Now they are making bank.

    @Reeko

    if they left it alone and let it be a Kyrie posting random stuff
    Nobody would even notice

    99% of basketball fans did not about the Kyrie tweet until the media blew it up
    Less than 1% knew about Black Israelites

    now thanks to media and nba over blowing it
    Everyone knows

    The media is just doing what media does: report things that interest the public. A star player doing questionable things definitely falls into this category. The media doesn't care whether Kyrie is sincere. The media doesn't care if that movie will sell more. They only care if people are interested in this kind of news.

    If you are a celebrity, you know if you do controversial things, they will be magnified 1000 times in the media. It comes with the territory.

    "They" are trying to save NBA revenue by maintaining the liberal glow that NBA has compared to the rest of national sports leagues. If NBA is exposed to be racist, they'll lose sizable revenues.
    Why do you care about his career anyway? It's actually good for us if his career is over.

    @Reeko is a decent human being. He doesn't want his career ruined just because it may increase our chances at draft position.

    2 things:

    1) So he said the earth is flat, who tf cares? Was anyone physically in danger from this opinion?

    2) He never mentioned anything he only tweeted a link. Why imply otherwise?

    First of all, who in the media watched it to know it’s antisemitism? Cause nobody watched it
    Second if there is a group of black people thinking they the original Jews , so what , they can believe wakanda fought Atlantis @Xerobull

    The media pulled a China vs Morey

    The media wants you to care about everything a celebrity thinks because they think you are a dumb follower and can’t think

    I don't care. I am just telling you the reasons they make/made a big deal of it. they are trying to get eyeballs and clicks in a dying industry. it makes for a good story. a man that thinks the world is flat thinks this too...isn't it crazy??? blah blah blah.

    throw on top of it that Jews were murdered by the millions and with Kanye. it makes for a story. so some people do in fact care. I don't besides how it impacts the rockets.

    Do you remember when Trump said "they are fine people on both sides" and it made big headlines. You probably thought it was an overreaction too, but then a lot of those "fine people" went to war for Trump on jan 6th. Unclear encouraging statements to extreme sections of society cause problems down the line.

    That's why I personally don't think it is an overreaction and you guys certainly don't make good arguments to suggests that it is. Your indignation at the situation is not a logical argument.

    u are comparing people marching in the streets in Charlottesville with tikki torches yelling out “Jews will not replace us” in an event where a person died to Kyrie tweeting out an Amazon link to some no-name documentary…

    And yet you care enough to discuss it here with me? It appears to be a big enough deal. Perhaps, it has something to do with the fact that the person is incredibly famous and has "an army behind" him (or so Kyrie says).

    These people are not called "stars" for nothing. They are societies' views beacons. Majority of us would likely have no clue what was happening in NC if not for Trump's comments and media making a big deal of them.

    Good on media, I say
