“Let Kyrie play,” screamed the internet. “Let Kyrie play,” screamed Ted Cruz. Wait, what?

I doubt Irving will complete the rehabilitation regimen that the Nets have laid out for him. We'll see.

I think Kylie Irving is too stupid to sit through training, volunteer, meet with some flesh and blood American Jews, and then answer questions about what he learned in an oral quiz. He’s dumb.

He thinks he’s having an intellectiual conversatrion here. He isn’t. He’s confrontational and he’s dumb!

For all those who are defending Irving on the grounds that we give thousands of antisemitic, powerful white people a pass, you are partially correct. We let a lot slide, starting with Phil Knight, a man who has worked to burn the republic down and make life miserable for minorities, regardless of what religion he might have been born into.

We have given passes to living and dead antisemites like Donald Trump, Sebastian Gorka, Ted Nugent, Eric Clapton, Mel Gibson, Roald Dahl, Henry Ford, John Galliano, and so many others. But the argument that we must fully punish white antisemities before we silence Irving is not a great one. We need to silence hate speech whenever possible. And when a sports star does something this egregious, after being given pass after pass for his refusal to be a good citizen and get a damn vaccine, he needs to be silenced as soon as possible. He needs to be removed from this league. Let him play in Russia.
