Amidst Kyrie Irving Suspension, Retired Bucs WR Calls for Amazon and Jeff Bezos to Be Punished as Well

Controversies keep following Kyrie Irving. The Brooklyn Nets suspended their star point guard after he promoted a documentary containing anti-Semitic narratives. Kyrie has faced a lot of criticism from the sports community. However, not everyone thinks Irving is wrong.

Former Cowboys and Buccaneers wide receiver Cole Beasley recently put out a series of tweets in support of the 2016 NBA Champion. Beasley thinks Amazon and Jeff Bezos are equally guilty for having the documentary on their platform.

The Brooklyn Nets have handed Kyrie Irving a 5-games suspension without pay. Kyrie promoted a documentary that caused discomfort to the Jewish community. Kyrie Irving has since apologized publicly to the Jewish community and taken full responsibility for his actions.

In one of the pro-Kyrie tweets, Beasley wrote, “people should be able to say what they want. You don’t have to listen to them, and everything they say isn’t the truth. Stop being so damn sensitive. ” In another tweet, Beasley said he was lucky to not have to face the suspension debacle ever again in his life. His final attack came against Amazon and co-founder Jeff Bezos. The controversial documentary that Kyrie shared is available on Amazon and Beasley thinks they should face the consequences too.

Cole Beasley received 554 times and covered 5726 yards in his eleven years of the NFL. Seven of those years came with the Dallas Cowboys. He also spent three years at Buffalo. Beasley joined Tom Brady and the Buccaneers this off-season before announcing his retirement after playing only two games for Tampa Bay.

Uncle Drew and his supporters are getting criticized.
