Mass media is the reason that people like Joe Rogan are now more popular than their little TV shows. People are just sick of liars that have no clue what they are talking about.

I make it a point to completely avoid Stephen A Smith whose irrelevant now compared to better authentic, rational, logical channels like this and many others.

Kyrie's stance on the jab and a book made me respect him as a man.

I didn’t like Kyrie. But after he stood for truth(or at least his beliefs) and risked more than most of us could ever imagine, I respect the man and I wish him well. He has been refined by fire and almost all of it was undeserved. He continues to outshine his self-righteous, opportunistic detractors. God bless him.

@@calvinavila7989 it was mostly his immaturity and lack of leadership in Boston. Also felt like he was more about showtime than production.

I was wrong about his game and his character… And he’s definitely grown up since Boston. I think LeBron was a bad influence on him (for leadership style) and after Boston, he became his own man.

I freaking love Kyrie calling out the cabal

Its not just ESPN, the owner was also involved. To frankly put, the owner and ESPN were colluding on this.

labeling someone antisemetic is basically the same as labeling someone racist ....those terms are used as weapons.

Stop watching ESPN. The only reason he got backlash was he dared to speak out against the “chosen ones”

I never understood everyone going after Kyrie yet say nothing of Amazon selling the film. That was some BS.

You can’t cancel greatness

Kyrie has changed a lot, he plays the game and goes home

Just do the opposite of what media tries to manipulate you to do

The further injustice is that Kyrie actually seems like a genuine and good guy. Shame on those that deserve it.

nonvaxed

Good for them, now he is making them eat their words at Dallas

The criticism didn’t start with Boston. It started with his leaving the leagues “chosen one” without saying he wanted out because he learned Lebron was trying to get him out of Cleveland for Chris Paul. It continued when he encouraged the NBA players association to vote against the bubble and his support financially of the WNBA financially ($1.5 million) when they refused to play in support of social Justice protest.

ESPN is a Disney entity and SAS’s job was on the line.

Kyrie is awesome so happy he stood up for him self and for the people

Very well put. Kyrie wasn't given the respect he or any person deserves, he was actually harassed by news media, which then are commonly unpunished for this seemingly illegal activity. Kyrie could have sued. Aside for that, I will take on Kyrie's redemption stage he's on right now, I say Ky is like Messi, fast thinking moving in between traffic and Luka is like Zinedine Zidane, commanding the field, passing elegance master mind scoring and creativity.

One of the many reasons why I don't listen to the media and don't watch ESPN

Selfishness? I agree with Kyrie, he ought to be "Selfish" with "His" body. He's an athlete and is an autonomous person that can choose what he want to put into his body. Period!

Espn not even about sports anymore smh

SAS never took any accountability for his words, Jay had to stand up to him and he acts like somebody is so wrong for ever standing up to him and checking him after he assassinates a guys character daily with personal attacks

lol Middleton.

Effe Nike and espn

Every opinion is worth! Why can even a great basketball player can not say what is his opinion about everything that he belives it is right. Stay on his opinion what he is beliving and not harming others it is true freedom. I respect Kyrie !
