The move comes after Irving posted a Twitter link to a documentary containing antisemitic messages in October and initially refused to issue an apology. “Kyrie Irving is no longer a Nike\n \n athlete,” Nike\n \n tells CNN. Irving’s agent and stepmother Shetellia Riley painted the move as a mutual decision. “Both parties have agreed to mutually depart ways. We wish Nike the best in their future endeavors,” Riley said in a statement.
Irving took to Twitter Monday to write, “Anyone who has even spent their hard earned money on anything I have ever released, I consider you FAMILY and we are forever connected. It’s time to show how powerful we are as a community.” On November 4, Nike suspended its relationship with Irving on and canceled the launch of the Kyrie 8 shoe, which Irving had previously tweeted were to go on sale this past November.

Lies. His contract was up. It was already over. Antisemitism had nothing to do with the end of that contract. If you still get your news and information from CNN, there's a fairly good chance that you're not going to make it.
