Ever since Kyrie Irving posted about the movie that supposedly promoted antisemitic beliefs, he has been under a constant spotlight. From bursting out during a media interview to getting suspended by the Brooklyn Nets, Irving has been through his fair share of trouble. Moreover, the harsh criticisms from almost everyone in the sports community has only made matters worse.

Additionally, upon his suspension, the Nets set out a list of tasks for Irving to do. Only after completing the tasks, would he be allowed to return to the team.

On Tuesday, Jay Williams released a video on his stance on the whole Kyrie Irving matter. Williams’ statement indicated that he understood what Irving really meant when he tried explaining about the post in the media interview. However, Williams did agree that Irving could have approached the situation in a different way. Furthermore, he also believed that Irving was not antisemitic and that it was mostly just a case of misunderstanding.

“When I hear, what Kyrie Irving has to go through in order to be reinstated, I’m appalled,” said Williams.

According to Williams, there have been several personalities who have said or done things that were hurtful to a certain community. However, they did not have to perform the tasks the way Irving is expected to do. Those people only had to apologize and all was good. Williams further stated that the world was more understanding when it came to them but Irving’s apology was not enough.

Additionally, he said, “But we’re gonna put everything on the shoulders of Kyrie Irving, who, even though he said, ‘I cannot be antisemitic because if I know where I came from.’ stating that he is one of the four lost tribes. He’s saying that Blacks and Jews come from the same entity.”
