Brooklyn Nets fire head coach Steve Nash amid tumultuous start to season

Irving is arguably one of the greatest talents the NBA has ever seen. However, this latest incident, among a barrage of other off-court ravings, is unacceptable. Racism and bigotry shouldn't be tolerated in any business of repute in America — including the NBA.
While Irving's post was unquestionably insensitive, it wasn't meant to be a promotion of racism or hate speech. Rather than denouncing him as a racist, as the media has been quick to do, this incident would better serve as an opportunity for him and the Nets organization to learn, grow, and move on.
