Several days too late.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

I am DONE with the Nets. I declare myself NBA free agent fan.

 

[Terry Yake]

so is he suspended indefinitely? that's what the tweet makes it sound like

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Kyrie really is just a piece of shit. A smug, selfish, rich, jackass who is ignorant and doesn't care that he is, or about the feelings of others. It doesn't require a forensic audit. We don't need to break it down and try and figure out where, or when, it happened. Some people are just pieces of shit. He's one of them.

 

[PhillyWings]

Stand with Kyrie.

 

[jcs0218]

There is freedom of speech and then there is hate speech.

Kyrie clearly crossed the line separating the two.

 

[Tryamw]

Well the W/o pay part insures the PA gets involved..

I wish someone could shoot this dumbass into space. He’ll get a first hand look at a round earth and then he’ll get a chance to die from the lack of oxygen. Dude is scum and should never be seen from again.

I think I am about to rank him ahead of Antonio Brown for the championship belt given to the biggest meat-head in sports.

The interview in question that finally got the Nets to respond;



Appalling lack of self-awareness. First claims he can't be anti-semetic because he's a child of Israel and then basically blames the Jewish community for the holocaust by saying "it could have been avoided"

A refusal to apologize as well.

The "flat Earth conspiracy theories" are so stupid, because what would any government or NASA or any elitist group have to gain by lying about the Earth being round?

Generally for any conspiracy theory to have any intrigue or possibility of being true, there must be some gain to be had for lying to the rest of society.

For example, "the moon landings were faked". I don't believe in this conspiracy theory. But at least the USA government would have much to gain by faking the moon landings, because an event such as the moon landing would demoralize the Soviets (who were in direct competition with the USA at the time).

Or all of the JFK assassination conspiracy theories. In each theory, you can find things that any prospective guilty party (CIA, Mafia, Cubans, Soviets, Lyndon Johnson, the defense/arms industry, etc.) would have to gain by JFK being assassinated.

With flat-Earth conspiracy theory though, what is the gain when you lie about that? I have never understood the gain, so I have never given it any credibility at all.

Control over the masses, i guess? brainwash people into believing anything you tell them is a favorite excuse of flat earthers.

Even the moon landing thing can easily be debunked by similar logic you used. The US WOULD have reason to fake such a thing. But do these people seriously not believe the Soviets wouldn't have blown the whistle on it with the amount of espionage going on during that period?

"They're all in on it, man" even though these two nations were a misunderstanding away from turning the planet into an uninhabitable wasteland? Yeah, okay sure.

Basically what i'm getting at it is conspiracy theorists generally can't be reasoned with.

Clearly you’re deceived by Big Globe as well. They truly control everything.

You're done with them because of this suspension, or for other reasons?

 

[Maple Leaf]

This guy should be in jail or a mental institution

 

[John Price]

Several days too late.

Yep. Took them way too long to acknowledge or do anything. And it's still 5 more games than Draymond got for sucker punching his teammate. Speaking of which, when is he going to be suspended for that?

 

[EpochLink]

Kevin Durant should’ve known not to team up so the this jackass

 

[Terry Yake]

KD must be thrilled that he hitched his wagon to this idiot

 

[Scandale du Jour]

About freaking time

f*** Kyrie. But supporting this team has been nothing but embarrassment.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

f*** Kyrie. Another clown graduate of YouTube University.
