Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving sparked controversy after showing up to Saturday’s postgame press conference wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh.
The Mavericks star, who claimed to be a “committed” Muslim in 2021, wore the black and white checkered headgear despite having no cultural connection to the Palestinians as he spoke about the game.
Irving did not make any verbal statements about the garment, offer any reasons for wearing it, or speak to any political situations around the world.
He was also seen wearing the keffiyeh as he entered the arena.
Neither the team nor the NBA made any statements about Irving’s display.
But Irving has made no real mistake that he supports Hamas and not Israel after the terror organization went on an inhuman spree of rape, murder, infanticide, torture, and kidnapping of Israeli civilians during a rampage through Southern Israel on October 7.
On October 11, only four days after the terror attack, Irving took to his X account and blasted the media for not speaking up for Hamas.
“Where are all you tough talking Media Heads that get on TV and social platforms to condemn people who stand by the oppressed?” he wrote.
“Crimes are being committed against humanity and most of you are silent. Cat got your tongue? Or you’re afraid of actually standing for something real,” he added.
Irving, of course, was suspended in November of 2022 for refusing to disavow the antisemitic tweets he had made in the months before his suspension, including his support for the notoriously antisemitic group the Black Israelites./blockquote>

democRATS... feh
Filthy thieving murdring pederast. Does his widow still live large in Paris? Off all the money he stole from the UN and Western governments, that was meant to improve the lives of Palestinians?! Just as Hamas leadership lives in luxury in Qatar today.
I support Israel 100%. They are bombing areas Hamas is known to be at. Their mission is to eliminate Hamas for their survival. Hamas chooses human shields. If you want to have some negative feelings, save them for the murdering butchering raping Hamas soldiers. Time is a luxury the hostages don’t have.
Another idiot that has no idea what’s going on the the world. Did someone shoot him in the head?
Another question is, what’s his FR nick? :^)
Take your meds Bob and try to settle down. I was raised Catholic but now just consider myself a generic Christian. There’s nothing Christian about indiscriminate bombing where 2/3’s of those killed are woman and children. Only some seriously errant sect of Christianity could justify such a thing. Instead of spending all your time in the Old Testament try reading the New Testament for a change.
Because he spoke out against china and in the china owned nba that’s a doggy no no
In February 2017, Irving stated in an interview for a podcast that he believes that the Earth is flat.
***************************
Fire him, stop paying him, tear up his contract, etc.
Oh wait, it doesn’t really matter that he thinks the earth is flat because he’s an athlete not a scientist.
Sorry. That was really large.
Table cloth on head ... happy Halloween ...
Unfortunately, not yet.
ahhhhh yes, one of the esteemed yassar arafat wannabe crew, that muzzie checkered tablecloth they wear is a real fashion statement. Maybe all of his brothers can convert to islam and wear that distinct restaurant wear.

In support of Kyrie Irving I’ll be wearing blackface and servin up suhm chilins anna sum blackeyepeas on Tursday! Yassah, thas wut I be doin!
Good to know who your enemies are.
They literally shot women in the head while they were raping them. Disgusting.
“You are a fool.”
Agree, got a real ‘winner’ here. If anything, Israel needs to START USING ‘indiscriminate bombing’, so as to teach the Palestinians that it is a MISTAKE to continue to support Hamas.
...but they will not, as they’re not that kind of people.
As to the Third World Jew-Haters...that will never change.
Is he also a Flat Earther??
You gotta wonder sometimes
