quote:

Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving chose to make a fashion statement on Saturday that was a little out of the ordinary.

After a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Irving wore a keffiyeh to the postgame news conference. A “keffiyeh” is an Arab symbol of resistance and solidarity, and is popular in Palestine.

The star point guard did not offer an explanation on why he chose this course of action, nor did any media members ask him about it.


quote:

The Mavericks superstar confirmed that he converted to Islam in 2021, so the keffiyeh simply could’ve been a way he chose to identify with his religion. However, given all that’s happening in Israel, it could be viewed as a pro-Palestine message.

That’s why it’s strange the no reporter asked him the motive behind his choice. While wearing a keffiyeh doesn’t automatically make you anti-Semitic, it’s certainly suspicious given Irving’s past with this issue.




First I’ve heard of this, and I came across it completely by accident.

To be fair, that he hasn't said anything about Israel yet is kind of a minor miracle.

Good for him he didn't take the shots and he doesn't listen to left wing or evangelical propaganda either

I disagree. Kyrie literally cares about everything..except basketball.

These idiots couldn't find Israel on a map if you gave them a week, and twenty hints. The cumulative IQ on an NBA roster is less than 100.

Poor Kyrie. I get the impression that he wants to be a person of substance and principle, but can’t get away from being a narcissist.

That picture is awesome…includes rat bastard AT&T … and when did the Mavs adopt such a queer logo?


Get your shite together, DFW.

He'll be a Native American spiritualist again by the time he makes his next tweet.

Kyrie is the most annoying type of person. Why isn't it cool enough in his mind to be a mega-wealthy basketball player? He has to be this hipster-type guy and constantly try to prove to everyone how cultured and intelligent he is as well?

You know what Kyrie is: a self-loathing Jew

2001. They changed the accent color to a slightly darker grey in 2017, but that has been the Mavs logo for two decades.
