NFL Legend Ed Reed Comes Out In Defense Of Kyrie Irving Over Antisemitic Post: “I Stand With Him”

A legendary NFL player has come to the defense of Kyrie Irving.

Last week, the Brooklyn Nets announced that Irving had been suspended for at least five games after Irving shared a link to an antisemitic film on Amazon and basically refused to apologize for his decision despite being asked multiple times in a press conference.

One NFL star is standing with him, though.

Baltimore Ravens legend Ed Reed revealed on Sunday morning that he’s standing with Irving:

These boys making business decisions, not worried about the people! I STAND WITH #KyrieIrving we are Harmed everyday! Stop acting as if BLACK folk are not treated worst than any. All the attn (apologies) PROVES it #CarryOn

Irving later apologized for his comments and is forced to do a number of things before having his suspension lifted:

Sources: Nets have delivered Kyrie Irving six items he must complete to return to team:

– Apologize/condemn movie
– $500K donation to anti-hate causes
– Sensitivity training
– Antisemitic training
– Meet with ADL, Jewish leaders
– Meet with Joe Tsai to demonstrate understanding
