?They Have to Discipline Him in Some Way?: Kyrie Irving Concerns Incense 52 Year Old After a Noble Cause Drive Shakes NBA World at Nets vs Pacers

It was unlike any other game night between Brooklyn Nets and Indiana Pacers on Monday night. A group of Jewish fans wore “Fight Anti-semitism” t-shirts to the game. They were bringing the world’s attention to the recent endorsement by Kyrie Irving. The Nets player has been in the spotlight for his anti-semitic remarks. Earlier this month, it was rapper Kanye West who was called out for the same.

Aaron Jungreis, a 52-year-old, who is also a season ticket holder was one among the people who wore the “Fight anti-semitism” shirts. Jungreis firmly believed that the Nets should no longer have Irving on their team. He said that many people would cancel their tickets because of Irving. Jungreis also said that they had to discipline the Nets player in some way.

Apparently, the player and the spectator also shared some words. “We told him we love him anyway, even though we know he hates us”. Irving was reported to be grateful to the fans and even gave a thumbs-up during the game. But Aaron Jungreis said that Kyrie Irving‘s words for the fans were “sarcastic”.

Kyrie Irving had endorsed a film on social media titled, “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake up Black America”. The film has been accused of carrying antisemitic material. Irving got into a lot of trouble because people associated his endorsement to be directly proportional to his personal values.

Irving responded to the backlash during a post-game press meet and on his social media as well. He said that he was an Omnist. He stated that he was respectful of all religions and meant no disrespect. During the press conference, Irving defended himself and said that he didn’t do anything illegal or harmful.
