How New Yorkers, Brooklyn Nets Fans Feel About Kyrie Irving Suspension

The Brooklyn Nets has suspended player Kyrie Irving for posting a link to a documentary containing antisemitic comments.

NBA All-Star player Kyrie Irving is facing severe backlash after posting a link to a documentary containing antisemtic comments, then refusing to apologize during a post-practice media session early Thursday.

Irving later took to Instagram to share a long-delayed apology, but that came after the Brooklyn Nets suspended the player without pay for at least five games and "until he satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct."

The Nets' decision caused a mix of reactions among New Yorkers — especially among basketball fans.
