Nike announced Friday night that it will halt its relationship with the Kyrie Irving, who has been suspended by the Nets for what the team called a repeated failure to 'unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs.'
NEW YORK --
"At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism," the Beaverton, Oregon-based 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," Nike said.
"There's no place in this world for it," James said. "Nobody can benefit from that and I believe what Kyrie did caused some harm to a lot of people." The fallout only continued from there. The NBA put out a statement over the weekend that didn't name Irving but denounced all forms of hate speech. Fans wearing "Fight Antisemitism" shirts occupied some courtside seats at the Brooklyn-Indiana game on Monday night, a day after he took down the tweet. The Nets and coach Steve Nash parted ways Tuesday, a development that has been overshadowed by the Irving saga.
