Nike announced Friday that it is suspending its relationship with Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving after he shared an antisemitic film on his social media accounts last week and repeatedly refused to apologize.
Nike announced that they will be suspending their relationship with Irving after he posted a link to a film that is widely recognized as antisemitic and struggled to issue a timely, sound apology.
“At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism,” the company said in their statement. “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 [Irving’s next signature sneaker]. We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the situation and its impact on everyone.
