US basketball superstar Kyrie Irving has issued an apology for posting a link to an anti-Jewish film, just hours after his team, the Brooklyn Nets, suspended the player for at least five games without pay for his “failure to disavow” anti-Semitism.The 30-year-old player had declined to apologise when talking to reporters at the National Basketball Association (NBA) team’s training facility earlier on Thursday, prompting the Nets to deem him “currently unfit to be associated with” the team.Irving, widely regarded as one of the best players in the league, has been under scrutiny since a social media post last week in which he offered a link to Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, a 2018 film widely lambasted for containing a range of anti-Jewish tropes.
