Kyrie Irving is Making a Mistake By Not Talking Basketball to the Media

When keeping it smart goes wrong.

During a Brooklyn Nets postgame press conference, NBA star Kyrie Irving declared to the media that he would no longer be answering questions about basketball – something he is contractually obligated to do – because basketball isn’t the most important thing to him and he only wants to talk about societal issues that he is impassioned about. This is a mistake. Kyrie is painting himself as a social elitist who is smarter than everyone else, all the while undermining awareness of his causes and alienating potential allies. People should not replicate this strategy. This is what happens when keeping it smart goes wrong.

Until the promoters get out of the way and give us the fights we want to see, exhibitionism will continue to be the big draw in boxing.

Floyd Mayweather will briefly come out of retirement to fight Instagram and Youtube sensation Logan Paul on June 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL, marking another exhibition event in boxing. There is a debate taking place in the boxing world as to the merit of these exhibition fights and whether they are good for the sport. Some think they help boxing, while boxing purists are resistant to them, feeling as though they dilute the sport and turn it into a sideshow. If you don’t like the exhibition fights, you can blame boxing for creating this problem. Until the promoters get out of the way and give us the mega-fights that we want, exhibition fights will continue to be the big draw in boxing.

Although high emotions are understandable, let’s not allow what happened at the Capitol to stop us from continuing to discuss PRACTICAL solutions to social and racial inequality.

The January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol building in Washington D.C. spurred a racial conversation as to the difference in the way that people of color would be treated versus the way that the insurrectionists were treated. For us, this served as a reminder that there are practical ways to approach the conversation around combatting racial inequality, and there are impractical ways to do so. We want to talk about those practical ways.

The mainstream media, including ESPN, is in the socio-political game. This is just fine, as long as all REASONABLE sides are afforded the same platform.

ESPN Commentator Domonique Foxworth’s comments about NFL QB Josh Allen’s fanbase are representative of the one-sided climate of social discourse in today’s mainstream media, as well as among the people. The only way things are going to become more cooperative is if ALL reasonable viewpoints, not just those of the social justice variety, are afforded platforms to be heard. BE REASONABLE PEOPLE!
