12. You misunderstand me.

I agree with you 100%. I am saying amongst his fellow players, Kyrie might successfully be able to portray himself as a victim and get support from other players who don't know anything about the history of antisemitic tropes. He can prey on their ignorance. I doubt the owners have the guts to do anything about the disgusting thing he posted. It would have to be as bad as the PR Adidas got for not dropping Kanye West before they actually do something. If the noise quiets down they're not gonna do anything. However I might be pleasantly surprised. I think Adam Silver the commissioner is a good person. But he works for owners who might be afraid to rock the boat.
