I respect all walks of life and embrace all walks of life. That\u2019s where I sit,\u201d Kyrie responded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The workforce was unimpressed by the participant\u2019s statements within the session.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were dismayed today when given an opportunity in a media session, that Kyrie refused to unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs nor acknowledge specific hateful material in the film,\u201d the Nets mentioned of their assertion<\/a>. \u201cThis was not the first time he had the opportunity, but failed, to clarify.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Nets added that Kyrie\u2019s refusal to disavow antisemitism \u201cis deeply disturbing, is against the values of [their] organization, and constitutes conduct detrimental to the team.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Irving had already pledged to match the workforce\u2019s $500,000 donation to organizations preventing towards hate.<\/p>\n But because of the media session, Kyrie will sit out the subsequent 5 video games.

I am learning from this unfortunate event and hope we can find understanding between us all. I am no different than any other human being. I am a seeker of truth and knowledge, and I know who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
