Jaylen Brown’s recent IG post re: Twitter backlash

Jaylen Brown posted this meme on his Instagram story amid the backlash and reactions to his recent Tweets and statements in support of Kyrie Irving.

What do you realistically think will come of this? I don’t see the Celtics organization doing anything unless he does something even more blatant.

Brown continues to disappoint Celtics fans with these antics and refusal to apologize and take ownership of his actions. I think that a lot of us (at least most of us on r/BostonCeltics) are pretty much fed up with it at this point.

Edit: For people unaware of why this meme has caused a reaction, here is the context for what has brought us to this point.

  1. Kanye West comes under fire for antisemitic comments and for supporting an antisemitic book. West had recently opened up a school, Donda Academy. His Donda Academy sports teams have their games cancelled/banned due to the backlash/negative PR Kanye caused. Jaylen releases an official tweet cutting ties with Donda Sports, Kanye West’s marketing/talent agency he was signed to as a featured athlete. Shortly after this, Jaylen expresses his discontent at the student athletes of Donda Academy having their games cancelled/banned from venues due to the negative PR from Kanye. Donda Academy has since closed down. (Tweets)

  2. Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets shares an antisemitic documentary on Twitter. The documentary included a mass Jewish conspiracy for world domination. Kanye West calls Kyrie “a real one”. The Brooklyn Nets suspend Kyrie and stipulate that he must fulfill a checklist of items before he can return to play. The list: 1) Apologize and condemn the movie that he posted on his social media accounts. 2) Make $500,000 worth of donations to anti-hate causes. 3) Take sensitivity training. 4) Take antisemitism training. 5) Meet with the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish leaders. 6) Meet with Joe Tsai to demonstrate understanding of why his actions were wrong. Jaylen Brown took issue with this.

  3. Kyrie Irving is set to return to the court to play after (I’m assuming) fulfilling Joe Tsai’s list. Jaylen Brown retweets a video of Black Hebrew Israelites chanting while in formation with the caption “Energy”. (Tweet) (Tweet with video) This group was outside of Barclay’s arena showing support for Irving and handing out antisemitic propaganda. The Black Hebrew Israelites are a recognized extremist hate group by the ADL.

  4. Jaylen later says he didn’t know what group that was, and confused them with a fraternity. (Tweets) Jaylen then went a step further and said he “didn’t have his reading glasses on” when making the tweet, and that he won’t delete any of the tweets because they’re in support of Kyrie Iriving.

Jaylen Brown isn't the first 300M contract in history anymore

I am not sure if this was properly talked about but with the league announcing a smaller projection, the supposed 10% jump is far off. In order to Jaylen to fulfill his supposed 304M contract next year cap would need to be around 149M, now it is projected to be 141M. Due to this Jaylen Brown's contract is now "only" 286M

This represents 3M drop between the initial projected salary to the current one.

Still an absurd salary, but that means the next class of supermaxes will result in the real above 300M salary. If I am wrong here please let me know

In response to

Nike founder Phil Knight says Kyrie Irving ‘stepped over the line’ when the Nets player shared an antisemitic film on Twitter. Irving's annual endorsement earnings from Nike were worth at least $11 million before the company cut ties.

Brown shares the tweet “since when did Nike care about ethics?”

[TMZ] NBA Star Jaylen Brown Signs with Donda Sports

The superstar athletes are lining up to work with Kanye West -- TMZ Sports has learned Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown is the first NBA player to sign with Donda Sports.

As we previously reported, future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald became one of the first big names to go public with his decision to partner with Ye for off-field ventures ... saying it was a "no-brainer" to join forces.

Sources tell us Ye and Brown have been tight for a while now, but things were made official after West attended the Warriors vs. Celtics game in March.

The signs were there -- the two posed together postgame ... and in fact, Brown was spotted wearing a Donda Sports hoodie while hanging with A$AP Ferg afterwards.

So, why 25-year-old Brown?? We're told Donda eyed the Eastern Conference champ because of his intelligence, social activism and charitable work ... as well as his success on the court.

On top of that, the deal was especially important to Ye because Jaylen is a God-fearing man ... and his mother emphasized the importance of education at a young age, just like Donda.

We're told Ye thinks Brown is underappreciated ... and wants to bring him to "superhero" status during his career and long after his playing days.

Brown averaged more than 20 points a game in the ECF against the Miami Heat ... and is slated to play a huge role in his first NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors.

[Jaylen Brown] Energy (Retweeting a video of Black Hebrew Israelites rallying outside Barclays Center)

https://twitter.com/FCHWPO/status/1594458907883233280?t=YDkp0GnPdUcs4foaoVtquw&s=19

Jaylen Brown retweeed a video of Black Hebrew Israelites rallying outside Barclays Center before Kyrie Irving's return today, captioning it "Energy".

Black Hebrew Israelites believe that black people are the true Jews and white jews are imposters. Many Black Hebrew Israelites are extremely antisemitic, believe white jews should be enslaved or exterminated and violently attack jewish people regularly.

This is yet another extremely disappointing statement from Jaylen Brown supporting a violently antisemitic movement.
