Kyrie Irving has been at the center of controversy after retweeting a link to a film that promoted several antisemitic tropes. Since then, Irving has been condemned by Nets owner, NBA analysts, sports writers, and political commentators alike over the post. 

On Wednesday, in conjunction with the Brooklyn Nets and the Anti-Defamation League, Irving issued a statement taking responsibility for the post and agreed to donate $500,000 to help combat intolerance. 

Irving's statement read: 

"I oppose all forms of hatred and oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day. I am aware of the negative impact of my post towards the Jewish community and I take responsibility. I do not believe everything said in the documentary was true or reflects my morals and principles. I am a human being learning from all walks of life and I intend to do so with an open mind and a willingness to listen. So from my family and I, we meant no harm to any one group, race or religion of people, and wish to only be a beacon of truth and light."
