Well, one of the most well known superstars in the NBA, posted a link on his Twitter account to a film that was hosted that is currently listed on Amazon that is filled with anti semitic stereotypes. very harmful tropes claimed that Jewish people invented the Holocaust. They were singularly responsible in the slave trade. A lot of the kind of fictions allies that we talked about in your show before came that lead to real world harm. We discovered this on Friday, we spoke out strongly then over the course of several days. I had conversations with that's ownership and management with the NBA front office with the Players Association and retirees camp. We finally reached a positive place I think last night, but I need to say the impact of Kyrie his words are real. And when he doubled down on Saturday night, and sort of was defensive and incredibly unhelpful. I was alarmed as the head of the ADL, because we're dealing today with elevated levels of anti semitism. There's a high degree of concern among Jewish people across the country. So when again, another player sort of in the Forbidden popular culture, engages in anti Jewish aids. There's no excuse for it.
I read part of Kyrie Irving statement, where you don't see in there is a direct apology or and I'm sorry, do you think he is?
Well, I can't speak for what's in his head or in his heart, but what I can tell you is the following. Number one, it was important that he did make a statement recently did last night and taken out again, we talked on your show people like Whoopi Goldberg, Nick Cannon Meyers Leonard, so many and Kanye West who was still spewing anti semitic sludge and poison. But what we now have is something substantive and real coming out of this, Kyrie and the nets have made a million dollar commitment to funding anti semitism education the nets are going to support our campaign shine a light would be summer to raise attention around incentives. But maybe most importantly, Kate, we're going to be hosting a series of community conversations of black Jewish relations in Brooklyn with the help of the nets and I hope we will be involved.
I think it's essential. The hands earlier this week. The community Absolutely. I want to bring up earlier this week NBA great Charles Barkley he spoke on this of course before last time statement and the joint statement with you guys. Barkley condemn what Irving was pushing out there. Barkley also was pointing the finger at the NBA let me play this for you.
I think the NBA dropped the ball. In what way you should have been suspended. I think Adam should have suspended first of all out of Jewish you can take my $40 million and insult my religion. You can't insult me. You have the right but I have the right to say no. And I gonna take my $40 million and insult my religion. I think the NBA made a mistake.
The reason I play that Jonathan is because last time we spoke you were plotting Adidas for cutting ties with Kanye West over his Kyrie Irving hasn't hasn't really faced punishment. How can you talk me through that because people are looking at this and saying, why is it different retiree.
Well, a few things. So number one, I just want to salute Sir Charles and prelims with your bar. Meal three former players with a great deal of wisdom all I think set the right thing. I think Joe sign that's owner on Friday night said the right thing. Yeah, I mean, I wish perhaps the NBA has taken action faster. But I gotta say, I believe in. I don't believe in canceled culture. I believe in council culture. I really do. And so the opportunity now to engage with Kyrie to sit down on the ground with the Orthodox Jewish community, the black community and think about how we come together, that could be far more lasting and material than present a simple apology. So I want to move the ball forward. I want to bring our communities together. I think we had a chance to do that. But actions speak louder than words. So we're going to see what happens in the days and weeks and months ahead. I will I will work with Kyrie and with the net. But if you go sideways, ABL will be the very first organization to speak out without hesitation.
And what you have said I think it's important for everyone to remember to really eradicate hate. It can't be just about punishment. It has to be about education, and community and winning hearts and minds as kind of like highfalutin as that sounds. That's how we really eradicate hate in a real sense.
You are totally right. I mean, we know that ignorance can contribute to anti semitism. We know that sometimes mal intent can contribute to prejudice. But ultimately, as you said, we're not going to penalize our way past prejudice. We have to push through these hard times and bring people together. Education, dialogue. That's the kind of understanding that really a world that's no place for
