Nike cuts ties with Kyrie Irving after the Nets player's promotion of an antisemitic film
In a statement sent to Rolling Stone, the company said:. To that end, we’ve made the decision to suspend our relationship with Kyrie Irving effective immediately and will no longer launch the Kyrie 8. We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the situation and its impact on everyone.”
On Thursday, the Nets announced Irving would be suspended for a minimum of five games without pay: “We were dismayed today, when given an opportunity in a media session, that Kyrie refused to unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs, nor acknowledge the specific hateful material in the film. This was not the first time he had the opportunity — but failed — to clarify.
