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>

I’m curious to read how you think the two situations are comparable.
You freaking idiot. I guess you don't know that Hamas DELIBERATELY places their bases, armaments, rockets, etc. under schools and hospitals, using those women and children as human shields. I guess you don't care that JEWISH women were raped, had their pregnant bellies cut open to watch their baby murdered, shot after being raped, babies beheaded, burnt alive in ovens, tied to a parent and burned alive, and other acts of depravity the human mind can barely comprehend. I guess you don't know that those very palescumian women voted for Hamas for their government and that a vast majority of the palescumians support what their terrorists did.
It is known as a fact that Israel is very surgical about their strikes. And that they took babies out of Al Shifa hospital, and treated them. They didn't behead them, burn, them, or abuse the babies in any way.
You are so completely stupid that you actually drink the muzzlime Koolaid and believe their lies. Planarians have more brains than you do, you pathetic turd.
He’s hopeless.
Perfect response to a stupid ass.
I was never so happy to see a player leave as I was when Kyrie left Boston.
He might be a good player. But he is simply a bad person.
The 2020’s version of a Che shirt.
uh..duh..he’s a generic christian..whtever that is..that sure sounds like a ib troll.ha
Why didn’t he quit while he was ahead?
Raghead
“I have been wearing one of these”.
I’d wear one on Halloween...
;)
That’s on Hamas.
Correction...
Lib troll

Kyrie: Flat-earther, Cretin, Jew-hater, Jihadist.
Hope it’s eating at the Mav’s lib-Jewish owner (Mark Cuban), but somehow I doubt it.
What do you expect from an ignorant NBA thug whose PPG ave. is higher than his IQ?
