![]() “Maybe because Jerry sat down and did a 2.5 he interview about how he’s changed since then (what 55 years ago?),” one person tweeted in response to the video. Smh,” one Twitter user said under the video. Personally, I think it’s as simple as the media fears team owners and thinks the players are fair game. “Not always on the same page as but this has to be the most well thought out statement he ever made. “As a Black man, as a Black athlete - as someone who has power and a platform - when we do something wrong, or something that people don’t agree with, it’s on every single tabloid, every single news coverage, it’s on the bottom ticker, it’s asked about every single day.”įor those reasons, Famuyide said, “It’s been difficult for a lot of folks that were a little hesitant to jump all over Kyrie for what happened because we know that if the shoe was on the other foot, especially when it comes to another race, that same energy is never kept.”įollowing James' comments, fans have taken to Twitter to react and debate whether the two can be compared. “No one’s gonna ask him to go and spend hours with Black community groups and publicly have to denounce racism and publicly apologize,” he said referring to Irving’s apology tour before he could play again.ĭuring the press conference, James also addressed the pressure he has felt from the media to meet an unattainable standard. ‘Well, you know, I was 14 years old and I was curious, and I know I look bad, but you know, whatever, whatever.’ And it just kind of was over and done with."įamuyide said he found it "odd and peculiar" that the same sort of demands that were asked of other people weren't asked of Jones.
