Bob Costas: Here’s how much Kyrie Irving stands to lose
You can hold those beliefs just dont expect to have others pay you with their money
BDS is the answer to these people.
@762Reeso he should keep his racism to himself, otherwise pay the consequences
@Nomen Clature so it’s ok for LeBron James to write tweets that threaten cops but it’s not ok for Kyrie to do what he did?
Yet Nike continues its partnership with China
Kyrie deserves all the heat he’s getting, what about Amazon profiting from this movie? Why is no one giving Amazon zero heat for this? 🤔
@Deanna Maria Only a twit would miss the point!
@Deanna Maria Seriously, just a misspelled word is all you got from that statement? A little dense I see!
@david Milton Keep believing whatever you want. Keep believing that the black Hebrew Israelite movement is not one of the most viciously racist and hate filled crackpot theories of the last century.
Nobody knew about that book/movie until Kyrie posted the link on his Twitter page that has millions of followers who are sheep. It brought attention to something that is antisemitic. His “personal” opinion became his millions of viewers opinion. It brings out more hate against a group of people. Every minority in the history of the world has suffered except for white people who have held everyone hostage for thousands of years and continue to do so by holding unto power and dictating how we all should live. Does that mean we should hate white people? No. We should continue educating them and showing them every life matters. We were all created equal in the eyes of God(if you believe it or not). We all bleed the same color of blood. We are all breathing the same breath of air. We all feel pain and joy. We cannot let our differences be the cause of the destruction of this world. We all need to recognize we ALL deserve to live in this world and we ALL should learn how to share everything that is in the world. Kyrie needs to understand we are all in the same boat and that there is only one captain in the ship.
Especially sense its such a HUGE heartbreak and atrocity for the joooish community. I’m scared to type the proper name btw..and I don’t have a million dimes, and I’m in a comment section 😌
Always something with kyrie. Always bringing the noise and controversy.
It’s called being an independent thinker
@Ron Burgandy A racist independent thinker, but independent nonetheless.
@Nomen Clature the entire state of Israel is racist against Palestinians and yet no one says a word. So spare me.
He did nothing wrong. He only shared a documentary. People are so slow in America
@Ron Burgandy no, its called being a fan of the NBA and getting tired of Kyrie constant BS.
1:40 with this kind of impressive resume you understand he didnt write nor meant his official statement…
@ghost of comments past Maybe your right. Kyrie posted the cover of a book. No comments were included in his post. The ADL was somehow informed of the post, and created a huge media spectacle.
@Ani Name “The ___ cries out in pain as it strikes you”
@ghost of comments past Dont deligitimize my political points with your hate speech. i said the adl’s next meeting ought to be with congress.
@Ani Name You delegitimize that yourself by thinking congress aren’t just controlled opposition puppets for the main problem at hand.
Right..his issue is he’s sees himself as a mix of Kobe, Obama and Malcolm X.
I think it’s important to talk and discuss things that make us all as a people uncomfortable because it will move us forward and give us a chance to reflect and become better as one people. When stuff gets swept under the rug it always comes out eventually.
They are saying just by putting that book up means he support all that is said and I say thank you for bringing that to the peoples attention because these record companies owned by Jews are supporting this music that’s causing so much death and destruction in the black communities. It’s their companies that’s pushing and supporting what you hear in today’s rap music. They even changed it from Hip Hop to rap and are only signing those who rap about things that belong on a criminal rap sheet. Let’s put the light on that.
@Erik it’s not right to shut someone down for speaking freely
@Mir_NaStyyy Hate to ram truth into your skull…but Amazon isn’t under contract with the NBA. The NBA has no authority over Amazon.
@erik. The dokumentêre did not s denythe holocaust
IMO, the one thing that should definitely be open to discussion is whether non-therapeutic infant male circumcision should be banned or not.
Well said Costas.
He’s spineless
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
Trade with him and remember to share testimonies with others. Good Luck 👍
Thank you for this. Will definitely reach out to him now. Thanks again
Yes and me too investing is the fastest way to Financial freedom. Investing is building wealth and that has been my priority thanks. 🙏
Scam post.
Only reply to this post if you are related to Israelis then, yes?
Did you make a killing this year in the market? LOL. NOT.
I’ve always liked Bob Costas but now I really like him for his description of Alex Jones… “A despicable conspiracy theorist who pumps poison into the Cultural water supply on a regular basis”.
I could not agree with you more. Costas is right on target!
Costas is a Legend he’s the truth
He’s spineless , a puppet and a coward
Bob Costas is the best! I miss his voice around the NBA games.

BOYCOTT NIKE. HYPOCRITES.

@April_Spring2015 You wrote a dissertation about something that is irrelevant to the convo about Kyrie. Good job!
@SW ENTERTAINMENT INC Black people write the lyrics to the songs and black people buy the music, not people of Jewish faith. Without some of those Jewish owned companies fronting money, the gift of hip hop/rap may have never happened. Yes, many entertainment companies are owned by Jewish people…so what? They run a business, and like any business, the goal is to make money.
Pretty sure Nike took that quote from the Taliban
The bottom line for the Nets is that Kyrie has done NOTHING to improve their TEAM. Has has cared about defense, ever? You know, kind of the most important thing in professional sports… He does nothing to improve the Nets. He needs to be suspended for the season and let go thereafter.
Imagine still calling someone a antivaxxer🤣
This comment is gonna age like fine wine 🍷 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@rayman136 Kyrie is still alive, bro.
what does this even mean. he is literally an antivaxxer. and?
MAN IMAGINE CALLING WATER WET WHO DOES THAT.
and 9 likes, too
Humanity is screwed
Why can’t people see it? It’s a shame. Those little smirk on their face just tells you everything
Maybe you can help Kyrie believe the Earth is round.
Bob is a nice guy. Well accomplished journalist. They were just being friendly with each other not smirking at the issue.
It would be an honor to be in his presence any day.
That’s how journalists think. It’s like meeting Michael Jordan and having a conversation with him.
@Nomen Clature Nothing Kyrie said was wrong though, you schizo.
@Monique Writes you don’t get the point you are also blind. Talk to me when you see the issue.
@Fixproblemsolve see what
Here’s my two cents on this, everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether we like it or not. I haven’t read the book nor watched the documentary. Those who have, including Stephen A, said there are some things in there that can hold true, and some are offensive. You and I can read or watch the same material and come up with two totally different interpretations. Kyrie didn’t say the Holocaust was false, he said nothing derogatory about the Jews. So, everyone who comments or posts something that the “Powers To Be” don’t like, they get censured or punished? What Kyrie did was piss off “The Rulers Of Wall Street” who have so much clout that they were able to influence a redistricting in Brooklyn, NY and incorporate a holiday in the public school system. This man pointed out the atrocities to Blacks and asked why is the thinking that Blacks couldn’t be Jews; not verbatim. In 2022 we are still oppressed. Then, this “snook mouth” Malika Andrews decided that it was prudent of her to invite a Rabbi on her show to promote their agenda. Did I see her do this when they killed George Floyd, the young man in Kansas, Wisconsin or other parts of the country? Did she or any other sports figure invite any activist when all these minorities were killed or publicly discriminated against? Then, she keeps up this Ime Udoka agenda after it was announced that the Nets were on the verge of hiring him. She has some issues and trying to climb the ladder by any means necessary. If one hasn’t noticed, ESPN has lost viewership on her segment since she went on her Udoka tirade. I’m about sick of her, and I know there are quite a few more who are. I digress.
It’s about putting him in his place first he didn’t wanna take the shot this was the chance they were looking for. Amazon gets no flax but he does
They are saying just by putting that book up means he support all that is said and I say thank you for bringing that to the peoples attention because these record companies owned by Jews are supporting this music that’s causing so much death and destruction in the black communities.

Did kyrie make the documentary? I don’t understand this. He didn’t say anything beyond his view on his identity. I don’t think he said the Jews are not the Jews … lot of things are out in the mouth of kyrie. He never said he hates anyone.
@Omari Albert if that’s the case, double standards lol
@ralph dajao Posting a link doesn’t mean he “promotes” it.
@MisterHeroman so if you post something? What does it mean? 🤔
@MisterHeroman thats exactly what it means. What planet you living on?
@Audience 72 rhetorical question.
It is good that the Nets issued a suspension. It is good that Nike have cancelled their contract with Irving. I agree with Costa that the first NBA reaction was too weak. Kyrie Irving’s act tweeting a link to such a reprehensible video based in lies has no place in our society. You can’t call it a documentary, it is simply hate speech dressed up in a different form, so I ask CNN not to call it a documentary–call it something else like hate speech. I stand with the Nets and with Nike that Kyrie Irving’s anti-Semitism cannot be allowed to go on. All hate speech is wrong, and Kyrie Irving needs to be held to account for his contributing to discrimination, hate speech, lies about the Holocaust, and to anti-Semitism. It is great that the great Bob Costa joined Ms. Camerota to discuss Irving’s way out of bounds activities as a public figure and sports celebrity.
Bob Costas has, to be honest, come to disgust me with his take about the Selig Era and particularly Barry Bonds. He has fully lost me as a fan, which is saying something because there was time when I really enjoyed his work. Now, not so much. In fact, basically not at all.
His thoughts here on Kyrie are not bad. He’s tempered, doesn’t pontificate, over bloviate, or demonstrate bias (as he does regards Bonds).
KI so smart he couldn’t foresee how this was gonna go down right after seeing how it worked out for Ye?!
