Kyrie Irving and Cole Beasley are similar in more than one way
The Brooklyn Nets have handed Kyrie Irving a 5-games suspension without pay. Kyrie promoted a documentary that caused discomfort to the Jewish community. Kyrie Irving has since apologized publicly to the Jewish community and taken full responsibility for his actions. However, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Cole Beasley thinks Kyrie’s punishment is unjust for what he considers freedom of speech. Cole was also anti-vax like Uncle Drew and missed several games for penalties faced for his stance.

In one of the pro-Kyrie tweets, Beasley wrote, “people should be able to say what they want. You don’t have to listen to them, and everything they say isn’t the truth. Stop being so damn sensitive. ” In another tweet, Beasley said he was lucky to not have to face the suspension debacle ever again in his life. His final attack came against Amazon and co-founder Jeff Bezos. The controversial documentary that Kyrie shared is available on Amazon and Beasley thinks they should face the consequences too.
