Hours after Irving refused an apology demanded by NBA commissioner Adam Silver for posting a link to an anti-Semitic project on his Twitter feed, the Nets said Irving is “not currently fit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets ». “We were disappointed today, when given the opportunity at a media briefing, that Kyrie refused to categorically say that he has no anti-Semitic beliefs, nor to acknowledge specific hateful material in the film. This was not the first time he had an opportunity — but failed — to come clean,” the Nets said in a statement. “This failure to repudiate anti-Semitism when given a clear opportunity to do so is deeply troubling, goes against the values of our organization and constitutes behavior detrimental to the team. Therefore, we believe that he is not currently fit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets.”
