Kyrie Irving to donate $500,000 to anti-hate groups, admits to "negative impact" of promoting antisemitic film
CBSN
NBA star Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets will each donate $500,000 to anti-hate groups, they announced Wednesday in a joint statement along with the Anti-Defamation League. The announcement follows a controversial tweet last week from Irving in which he appeared to support a documentary film which contains antisemitic ideas.
"I oppose all forms of hatred and oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day," the 30-year-old Irving wrote in the statement.
Irving also said he was "aware of the negative impact of my post towards the Jewish community and I take responsibility. I do not believe everything said in the documentary was true or reflects my morals and principles."
