He literally signal boosted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. One of the most influential, disgusting pieces of antisemitic propaganda that ever existed. It's where Hitler got most of his insane notions.
He's so stupid he doesn't know what shape the damn planet is. He doesn't believe in vaccinations.
He thinks Satan is a real dude who is using secret societies to push vaccines to somehow connect all black people into a computer for undefined purposes.
He's dangerously stupid.
You sound pretty hateful towards him.
I'm hateful towards people who spread literal Nazi propaganda, yes. He's a grown ass man, he got an education, he went to high school and college. There's no damn excuse for not knowing bigoted propaganda when you see it, and there's even less of an excuse for spreading it.
He is making the human race dumber through his actions. In both a generally stupid anti-science way and in a dangerous, bigoted way.
A lot of that bigotry is happening from people that actually get paid to push policy, execute war and provide aid to foreign nations- kyrie is a basketball player that said some stuff that he himself said he didn’t understand was hurtful. Kyrie apologized and said he himself is fighting antisemitism.

We either ignoring everything he says good or bad unrelated to basketball (my camp)
Or
We take him as his word as a bad actor initially and then an apologetic goood actor eventually. (The reasonable camp of people that go to the uninformed for informed opinions )
Or
We give a person one chance and if they blow it - shame and cancel them forever amen? (People expecting more from kyrie than an apology and action towards fighting the problem he caused)
Not sure what else people expect from a basketball player turned prophet of peace love and hippy highGuy logic…
But man we got real people that would do harm to us for being what ever type human we are - kyrie is not the problem - people that look to him for the wisdom beyond his scope of knowledge are the problem.
When the nba said “more than an athlete”. I was like cool but what if I only care about your athletic performance? Not mad- just not interested-
