    Well, let's see here... Kyrie is being required to:

    • Apologize and condemn the film he promoted (not hard)
    • Make a $500,000 donation to anti-hate causes (has a $33m/year contract, net worth of $90m... so also not hard)
    • Complete sensitivity training (not hard)
    • Complete anti-semetism training (not hard)
    • Meet with the ADL and Jewish leaders (not hard!)
    • Meet with team owner Joe Tsai to demonstrate an understanding of the situation (seems like it should be easy too!)
    So, no LeBron, it's not excessive.

    I keep thinking about that tweet someone posted in here a while back (before shit REALLY hit the fan with Kyrie) saying the Lakers should trade for him or something and there was a reply that was like Bron would say absolutely not because of the circus and his image he wants to protect and I'm like we've seen him continuously show his ass the last few years he doesn't care lol

    you can say that it’s bullshit that players/owners didn’t have punishments as severe as kyrie’s for anti-black racism without saying kyrie should be let off the hook for being anti-semitic lol

    whose king is that man

    gonna be super funny when the far right "shut up and dribble" crowd suddenly heel turns and starts supporting lebron because hes speaking out against a bigot getting punished.

    As I’ve said for years being involved with the villainous Los Angeles Lakers organization corrodes the mind body and soul and LeBron is further proof of this

    It's super odd to have the entire NBA come out with "Sell the team" for Server (he should) but "This is too harsh. How can he endure some meetings" for Kyrie.

    Like others have said in this thread it's far easier to speak out when someone is directly targeting your demographic than when it's about a group to which you do not belong.

    It's funny how upset Lebron and others are about Kyrie having to make reparations before he can play again. He's not being banned from the NBA for life, and he's likely still going to land at least an eight figure deal next year. If someone in another line of work did what he did they'd likely be fired.

    Sixers are bad again. Trae is just feasting on their terrible defense.

    I know! And only after he repeatedly refused to do the simple tasks of apologizing and saying he isn't antisemitic.
