Nike announced last Friday that it has “suspended” its relationship with Irving, and scraped plans to release his next signature shoe, after Irving tweeted a link to a film containing antisemitic material.
““Kyrie stepped over the line. It’s kind of that simple. He made some statements that we just can’t abide by and that’s why we ended the relationship. And I was fine with that.””
The Nets suspended Irving for at least five games without pay after he “refused to unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs” during a recent press conference. “I would doubt that we go back” to revisiting a deal with Irving in the future, Knight said in the interview. “But I don’t know for sure.”
