In Kyrie’s defense, he’s an idiot.

I think that summarizes it. I’m Jewish, and Kyrie pretty clearly isn’t thinking deeply about what his actions mean. This is a guy who didn’t get vaccinated and declared the Earth to be flat. He’s not the brightest crayon in the box.

That's not a defense.

Yeah I don’t get it. Roseanne is an idiot and no one was defending her. Along with the long list of other idiots who have been shunned off the face of the earth for the stupid shit they’ve said.

What's Enes Kanter's excuse?

He's still blackballed.

Blackballed? As a fervent supporter of Kanter’s last team, he couldn’t stay on the floor because he’s looked increasingly washed over the past season and a half. You can’t play him in end-of-game situations because his interior defense is so bad. Pile all that onto his off court pursuits to become a right-wing TV talking head and penchant for trying to spark Twitter wars with star players (while completely ignoring them on the floor days later). He’s been waived by two teams in under 3.5 years.

Miles Bridges is presently out of the league because of his off court behavior and drawing negative attention to the NBA. Allen Iverson refused to accept a bench role and couldn’t find a team as a result. Stephon Marbury caused so many issues for the Knicks in 08-09 that they’d rather waive him, pay him to stay away from the team and paved the way for him to sign with an in-division rival (and reigning champion). Sometimes personality (and routinely piss-poor behavior) supersedes talent. Kanter is one such case.

The real reason is that Kyrie is simply a better player than Freedom so he can get away with more.

Freedom pissed off the NBA by criticising China.

The NBA don’t give a fuck about ‘social justice’, because the moment you criticise a cause they are tied to you are blacklisted.
