Kyrie Irving strongly criticized the incident
The Brooklyn Base could not keep the silence in the face of this attempted aggression and expressed his considerations about this type of people from the public.
“People feel entitled to everything (…) They have paid their ticket, great, and I thank you for coming to see the games, But this is not a theater to throw tomatoes at to the people who are acting. Artists and athletes have long been treated as if they were a human zoo. Objects are thrown, things are shouted … And it reaches a point where it is too much ”, he emphasized.
“It’s unfortunate that sports has come to a lot of this kind of crossroads.… Just underlying racism and just treating people like they’re in a human zoo.”
