The Athletic and ESPN have got their hands on a document that details the conditions for the return to competition of Kyrie Irving. Suspended for at least five matches by his managers for his sharing of anti-Semitic content and his reluctance to apologize and distance himself from the radical version of the “Black Hebrew Israelites” theory, the Nets point guard will not return to the workforce only when it brings satisfaction to its leaders on “ a series of measures, objective and corrective, which respond to the harmful impact of his behavior “.
In fact, it is a specification with six very specific conditions, some of which have already been met since the announcement of its suspension.
1/ Apologize for posting a link to the film on October 27, condemn the harmful and false content, and clarify that he has no anti-Jewish beliefs.
2/ Go through with the measures Irving, the Nets and the Anti-Defamation League agreed to in their Nov. 2 joint statement, including a $500,000 donation to working causes and organizations to the eradication of hatred and intolerance in communities.
3/ Complete the awareness training created by the Nets.
4/ Take training against anti-Semitism and hate speech designed by the Nets.
5/ Meet representatives of the Anti-Defamation League, as well as leaders of the Jewish community of Brooklyn.
6/ After following steps 1 to 5, Irving will have to meet with owner Joe Tsai and the main managers of the franchise to prove to them that he has learned the lessons of this affair, that he has become aware of the seriousness of the damage caused by this situation and reassure them that this type of behavior will not happen again.
As GM Sean Marks explained on Friday, management gives him time to do so. “It depends on him. Once again, his actions will speak louder than his words, and if he wants to get involved, we’ll see where that takes us. »
