The Nets, Kyrie Irving and the Anti-Defamation League released a statement on Wednesday regarding the guard’s recent promotion of an antisemitic documentary film on social media.
Irving has yet to publicly apologize for his Twitter post promoting the film. A statement from the Nets guard was included in the team’s press release.
“I oppose all forms of hatred and oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day,” Irving said in the statement. “I am aware of the negative impact of my post towards the Jewish community and I take responsibility. I do not believe everything said in the documentary was true or reflects my morals and principles. I am a human being learning from all walks of life and I intend to do so with an open mind and a willingness to listen. So from my family and I, we meant no harm to any one group, race or religion of people, and wish to only be a beacon of truth and light.”
