Ok, so because I’m curious and weird, I watched the whole documentary in question with Kyrie. It’s horribly boring and not well made, TBH. And also, 99% of it is backing Black Hebrew Israelite theology, which is not a new theology or idea. And also, there are some really awful antisemitic moments that are easy to miss in the documentary because it’s so long and boring. If BHI theology is by nature antisemitism, then so is atheism, agnosticism, evolutionary biology, Christianity, Islam, basically every other non Jewish theology/worldview.

I’m sure Kyrie is guilty of not answering the initial question unequivocally. However, Nike deciding to cancel is contract and cost him millions of $ feels like the punishment doesn’t meet the crime...especially since it’s coming post apology AND post the entire U of Oregon student section chanting “F*ck the Mormons” during a BYU game and Nike continuing to fund $$$$ there with 0 penalty for the University.

Something is off here with Nike. Kanye “going defcon 3” tweet is legit antisemitism (along with all the other stuff!). Kyrie actually never said anything antisemitic and has never been accused of being that or saying anything.

Any thoughts? Sorry for the long comment...
