The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Brooklyn Nets sent a letter to Amazon’s Jeff Bezos requesting the film at the center of the Kyrie Irving controversy be removed from the platform, or provide additional context along with the film, according to The Athletic.
Irving spurred controversy last week after tweeting a link to the 2018 film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, which is based on the eponymous book full of “anti-semitic disinformation.”
After Irving has been in news headlines for backlash from tweeting the film, the Nets and ADL are requesting Amazon remove it from their platform.
“The Anti-Defamation League, in conjunction with Brooklyn Nets, have sent a letter to Jeff Bezos and Amazon leaders to either remove book/movie at the center of Kyrie Irving situation from the platform or add explanation about issues with the content, sources tell me and @MikeVorkunov,” The Athletics’ Shams Charania tweeted on Friday.
