If he's including Kyrie's tweet as the main "unnecessary" thing, okay, but I'm not sure that's what he means. If he means "let Kyrie promote hateful crap if he wants and just ignore it" that's... not a very good take for an org that wants to be profitable and have a positive brand in its community. Harden looks smarter by the day.
Nope, and I don't. But I'm an empiricist. Have a nice life surviving among all of us "sheeple" but otherwise consider taking your stuff to the Debate and Discussion forum, if you're allowed to continue posting at all. Cheers.
Didn't see the full context of Durant, and the guy frequently gets unwarranted criticism from fat old heads from the 90s and the fact that everything gets amplified in the take age unlike 30 years ago when your local beat writer filtered everything....but come on. Durant holds himself out as his own brand, a venture capitalist, a co CEO of Brooklyn Nets, an extremely online guy- he can't retreat to " we just need to dribble and nobody needs to say anything" - that's just a huge cop out and way more embarrassing for him than "only" winning titles with Golden State
No one changes their mind about a belief as deep-seated as this, overnight. Kyrie is apologizing just so that this, in his mind, will hopefully all blow over by the time his suspension is lifted.
Kyrie is a classic pseudo-intellectual. He has no core beliefs and is all over the place. First, he wanted to double down on his thoughts. Then, as soon he faces major scrutiny, he apologizes.
Is Amazon really even promoting it? I see a lot of commercials online about Amazon Original shows, but nothing about the documentary, in question. I personally don't have Amazon Prime or Amazon Video or whatever their streaming service is called, but I didn't even know this documentary was a thing until it became an issue with Kyrie. So strange that a show / network that revolves around sports, wants to talk about stuff outside their realm and blame others, and would rather deflect the conversation away from sports figures.
Amazon lets indie filmmakers add their content to Prime Video for free: https://videodirect.amazon.com/home/landing Any revenue made from rentals or ads are split. So it is in Amazon’s financial interest to let even low quality junk in if there is an audience for it because it cost them nothing.
Royce White (@Highway_30) is posting all kind of stuff about this on Twitter, trashing the NBA, Shaq, Barkley, and the media.
The only reason they shouldn't hold Amazon accountable is because they can't fully because Amazon doesn't work for them. But, Kyrie literally posted a link to hate speech sold by Amazon, he didn't independently come up with it. You have to go to Amazon to even find the hate speech he's suspended for.
