The Anti-Defamation League doesn’t want Kyrie Irving donating money. On Thursday the organization returned the “donation” made by the Nets PG.
The CEO of the The Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt had this to say about Kyrie Irving.
“We were optimistic,” Greenblatt said, “but after watching the debacle of a press conference, it’s clear that Kyrie feels no accountability for his actions.”
There are many video floating around with Kyrie trying to do damage control on the situation. Here are a few.
Kyrie Irving stopped short of formally apologizing Thursday — the way many in both the Nets and NBA were hoping to hear — for his controversial social media post about a book and movie that feature antisemitic tropes.

There is no clear indication that this will be resolved anytime soon. The fact the a charity is refusing half a million dollars says a lot about how the community if feeling about Irving’s statements.
