Nike cuts all ties with Kyrie, and cancels his shoe deal.

https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-nike-cuts-ties-with-kyrie-irving-amid-antisemitism-saga/

“Nike announces the company is suspending its relationship with Kyrie Irving, effective immediately, and will no longer launch his new Kyrie 8.” The company released this statement after the decision: “At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech and we condemn any form of antisemitism…We are deeply saddened and disappointed by the situation and its impact on everyone.” The Kyrie 8s were expected to be launched later this month, but that won’t happen now. Kyrie Irving has been under serious scrutiny over the last week and after refusing to apologize for his support of the antisemitic film, the Nets suspended him for five games on Thursday. He did eventually say sorry, but many believe it wasn’t sincere.
